Cheap flights from London to Alesund

November is the cheapest month to fly this route, and the fare calendar runs from September through to May. Late autumn and winter are the quiet stretch, once the autumn school break is over and before the Christmas rush. Spring brings the fjord season back, so April and May departures need booking further ahead. Midweek flights usually cost less than Friday and Sunday departures, when weekenders head north. If your dates fall around Christmas, New Year or Easter, book early, because connecting seats on those days go first.

Nothing flies this route non-stop, so your ticket will combine two legs, often on two different airlines. Wizz Air and Norwegian keep fares low with stripped-back tickets, where a cabin bag is usually extra and a checked bag costs more. Scandinavian Airlines, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and Air France sell fuller fares, usually with a checked bag included and a change at their home hub. Turkish Airlines and TAP Portugal connect through their own hubs, which makes for a longer travel day. Air Dolomiti, Portug and Norwegian International also appear in results, so check which carrier actually operates each leg before you pay.

Vigra is the only airport serving Alesund, and it sits on an island outside town, so the last leg of your trip is a road journey rather than a walk from the terminal. Airport buses meet most arrivals and run to the town centre and the bus station; taxis wait outside and cost more, especially late at night. There is no train link into Alesund, so plan on the bus or a taxi. Watch the clock on the way home: Vigra is small, and a late arrival can leave you with no bus, so have a backup plan.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Pick your London airport before comparing fares: City, Gatwick, Heathrow, Luton and Stansted are far apart.
• Check whether a checked bag is included, since low-cost fares on this route often sell it separately.
• Keep both legs on one ticket if you want cover when a connection is missed.
• Check your passport and Norway's entry rules, and make sure it stays valid past your return date.
• Book early for November fares, and expect the run-up to Christmas to be busier.
• Compare total travel time, not just the fare: a cheap connection can add hours.
