Cheap flights from London to Armenia

Book as far ahead as your plans allow. On a connecting long-haul route the practical itineraries disappear first, and waiting rarely improves a fare. October is the cheapest month in the calendar here, with the fare list running from autumn through March and June quoted as well. December and January fill up with holiday and family travel, so expect fuller planes around New Year. Midweek departures from the United Kingdom usually leave more choice at the London airports than a Friday or Saturday.

The difference you feel between these carriers is what the fare includes and how the stopover works. Avianca, LATAM Airlines, LATAM Airlines Brasil, Air Canada, Lufthansa, Swiss and Lufthansa City Airlines run full-service cabins where a checked bag is typically part of the ticket, while Edelweiss Air, Helvetic Airways and Air Dolomiti lean towards the leisure end and often leave baggage out of their lighter fares. No airline flies nonstop, so every itinerary changes planes once, in Europe or the Americas — weigh a longer layover against a higher fare before you pay.

You land at El Eden, the single airport serving Armenia, which sits a short drive from the city centre. This is a small terminal rather than a capital-city hub, so arrivals are quick and uncomplicated. Taxis are the usual way into town, and arranging a pickup through your hotel beforehand saves you negotiating at the door. Armenia also works as a base for the smaller towns around it, so decide whether your first night belongs in the city or out in the countryside.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check the connection time on every itinerary, since all flights on this route change planes.
• If your booking splits into separate tickets, the second airline owes you nothing when the first lands late, so leave a wide gap between them.
• Look at what each fare includes, as the leisure-leaning carriers here often leave checked baggage out of the base price.
• Confirm which London airport you fly from, as Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton and London City are not interchangeable once booked.
• Check the entry rules for Colombia and the documents your nationality needs before you pay.
• If your dates are flexible, weigh October against the December and January holiday rush.
