Cheap Flights from Liverpool to Marseille

Booking a few months ahead is the most reliable way to keep the fare down, and flexibility on your dates matters more than the day of the week. November is the cheapest month on this route, and the calendar here also covers October, December, February, March and June, so you can see how the shoulder months compare before committing. The summer season pulls prices up as holidaymakers head for the Mediterranean coast, and school holidays and the Christmas period have the same effect, so shifting a trip into late autumn or early spring is the simplest saving available. Check several months side by side before you settle on one.

Easyjet is the carrier most travellers will end up comparing first, a low-cost operator whose base fares cover little beyond the seat itself, so checked bags and seat selection are added at booking if you want them. Jet2 also sells tickets on this route and works the same way, with baggage priced separately from the headline fare. Since neither airline flies the pairing nonstop, one of them will be getting you through a connection, and it is worth checking whether the whole journey is issued on a single ticket or as two separate ones, because that changes who rebooks you if the first leg runs late. Compare what each fare actually includes before deciding.

Marseille Provence sits some distance outside the city, so if your connecting flight lands in the evening, the buses and other ground transport into town thin out and a taxi or prearranged transfer becomes the sensible option rather than waiting for a morning departure. The airport has its own shuttle services linking it with the city's main transport hubs, and the ride into central Marseille is straightforward in daylight hours. If you land late, having your accommodation details to hand and a rough idea of the last departure times will save you standing around the terminal working it out on arrival.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check whether your connection is on one ticket or two separate ones, since only a single ticket guarantees rebooking if a leg is missed.
• Look at what baggage allowance each fare includes, as both carriers on this route charge separately for checked bags.
• Confirm your departure is from Liverpool John Lennon and note that the city has no second airport to fall back on.
• Check passport validity and any entry requirements for France before you book rather than at the airport.
• Compare the months the calendar covers, since November fares sit below the summer peak on this pairing.
