Cheap flights London to Alghero

Late August and early October sit in the shoulder weeks around September, when fares stay close to their lowest. September itself shows the lowest fares on this route. June and August are the summer peak, with higher prices and fuller planes. November and December drop again, though fewer flights run. If you can travel in the shoulder weeks, you get the cheap fares without the September crowds.

Connections on this route usually route through major hubs like Amsterdam, Paris, Brussels, or Rome, depending on the carrier. Air France, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Brussels Airlines, and ITA Airways offer connecting flights, which add a transfer but include checked baggage and meals on long legs. Low-cost carriers Ryanair, Jet2, Wizz Air, Wizz Air UK, and Easyjet run direct flights from some London airports, but charge extra for seat selection and hold luggage. Eurowings also appears with connections via German hubs. The trade-off is simple: direct low-cost saves time but costs for extras; full-service connections cost more upfront but include more.

Arriving late in the day at Alghero Fertilia changes what you can do next. The airport is small, and the last bus into town may have already left, so a late arrival often means a taxi or a pre-booked transfer. Fertilia sits a short drive from Alghero's centre, roughly the distance of a quick taxi ride. The usual ways into town are the local bus, which runs during daylight, and taxis, which are always available but cost more. If you land after dark, have a transfer arranged or be ready to pay for a taxi.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check which London airport your flight departs from – Gatwick, Stansted, Luton, Heathrow, or City – because they are spread across the city and travel time differs.
• Confirm whether your ticket includes a checked bag; low-cost carriers charge extra for hold luggage.
• Check if your connection is on a single ticket or separate bookings – separate tickets mean you handle your own transfer.
• Make sure your passport is valid for entry to Italy; EU citizens can use a national ID, but verify before you go.
• Consider September for the lowest fares, but late August and early October are close behind.
