Cheap flights from Leeds to Munich

September is the month when fares from Leeds to Munich usually sit at their lowest, and it is the one worth aiming for if your dates are flexible. Autumn and the quieter stretches of winter also keep prices down, while summer departures and the run-up to Christmas push them up. Midweek flights tend to cost less than Friday or Sunday ones, and travelling outside UK school breaks and German public holidays helps. Fares show up across the year, so compare a few date combinations before you settle. Book a few weeks ahead for the shoulder months, and earlier if you want summer or the Christmas period.

No airline flies this route non-stop, so every option involves a connection. Easyjet and Jet2 are the low-cost names here, where extras are priced separately from the seat. KLM Royal Dutch Airlines is the full-service choice, and Aer Lingus and Emerald Airlines also appear on connections. What each fare includes differs, so compare the total once bags and seat choice are added rather than the headline fare alone. If the legs are sold separately, the connection is not protected.

You land at Munich International, the city's main airport, which sits outside Munich and is linked to the centre by train and bus, with taxis and private transfers as the other option. Allow time for the ride into town, especially if you are heading straight to a hotel or a meeting. Late arrivals mean fewer trains and buses, so check the last connection before you book a late flight. If you are picking up a hire car, sort it before you fly. Germany is the destination country, so keep your travel documents within reach rather than in the hold.
