Cheap flights London to Asuncion

April is the cheapest month for this route, and it sits in autumn in Paraguay, so you get milder days than the southern summer. Fares are shown for September through July; August is not part of the calendar, so if you are fixed on those weeks, watch what appears. Midweek departures from London tend to price lower than Friday and Sunday flights, and the weeks around Christmas and New Year are the ones to avoid if you have any flexibility. Book a few months ahead for the April window, and compare both legs separately, since connections price differently depending on how they are combined.

Every option on this route connects rather than flies direct, so you always change planes at least once. Lufthansa and Lufthansa City Airlines, Swiss and Edelweiss Air, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Air Europa, TAP Portugal and Portug, Turkish Airlines and Brussels Airlines all sell tickets here. These are full-service carriers, not low-cost airlines, so more is usually included than on a budget ticket — but fare families differ, and the lightest fares can leave out a checked bag or seat selection. Compare what each fare includes, and weigh the layover: a shorter total journey often matters more than a slightly lower fare.

You land at Silvio Pettirossi, the airport that serves Asuncion. It sits outside the city, so plan a transfer rather than a walk to your hotel. Taxis and ride-hailing apps are the usual ways in, and there are bus services too; agree the fare before you get in or book through an app, and have a little local currency with you in case cards are not accepted. Because most arrivals here come off a long connecting flight, allow time for immigration and baggage, and keep your hotel address written down to show the driver. If you are heading on beyond the capital, arrange that transport before you land rather than at the kerb.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check which London airport your ticket uses — Heathrow, Gatwick, City, Luton and Stansted are far apart, and switching between them takes hours.
• Confirm whether your connection is on one ticket or two, because separate tickets leave you carrying the risk of a missed onward flight.
• Read the baggage rules for your exact fare, since the lightest tickets on these airlines may not include a checked bag.
• Check entry rules for Paraguay, including passport validity and any visa or onward-ticket requirements, before you book.
• Compare April with the rest of the calendar, and note that August is not priced on this page.
• Add up total journey time, layovers included, before you pick a connection.
