Cheap flights from London to Bergen

December is the cheapest month for this route, and fares stay reasonable through the darker weeks of January and February, when Bergen is quiet and rooms are easier to find. Summer is the opposite: from June onward the fjord season pulls in visitors and prices climb. Spring and autumn sit in between, with September and October still mild on the coast. Midweek departures usually cost less than Friday or Sunday flights, and the days around Christmas and New Year fill up early. Book a few weeks ahead in winter and several months ahead for a summer trip.

Norwegian, Wizz Air and Easyjet are the low-cost names here, and their fares usually cover hand luggage only — a checked bag costs extra. Scandinavian Airlines, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Lufthansa and LOT Polish Airlines are full-service, connecting through their home hubs with a bag often included on the standard fare. KLM Cityhopper and Lufthansa City Airlines fly the smaller regional legs, and Norwegian International turns up on some of the longer connections. Whichever you pick, you change planes at least once, so weigh total travel time against the ticket price.

Bergen Airport, Flesland, is the airport serving the city, and it sits a short drive south of the centre. A light rail line and an airport bus both run between the terminal and town, and taxis wait outside arrivals. The light rail is the steadier option; the bus tends to drop you closer to the harbour hotels. Allow extra time on winter evenings, when rain and wind slow the drive, and check the last departure of the night if your connection lands late.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check which London airport your ticket leaves from — Heathrow, Gatwick, City, Luton and Stansted are all options and they are not interchangeable.
• Confirm whether your fare includes a checked bag, since low-cost tickets on this route rarely do.
• Make sure both legs sit on one ticket, or leave a generous gap if you booked them separately.
• Carry your passport and check the entry rules for Norway before you fly.
• If you travel in summer, book early; if you travel in December, you can often wait longer.
• Compare connection times as well as prices — a tight change in winter weather is a real risk.
