Cheap flights from London to Berlin

October is the cheapest month on this route, though fares are listed for every month from September through August, so you can weigh a winter city break against a summer one. Late autumn, and the stretch between the Christmas markets and spring, tend to be quieter, while school holidays, Easter and the run-up to Christmas push prices up in both London and Berlin. Midweek departures and early or late slots usually cost less than Friday evenings and Sunday returns. Book early for the busy weeks; for quiet weeks you can often leave it later.

Almost everything on this route is low-cost, and the names you will see most are Ryanair, easyJet, Wizz Air, Eurowings and Norwegian. The same groups also sell seats under easyJet Europe, Wizz Air UK, Wizz Air Malta and Norwegian International, and Mokulele Flight Service turns up in some results as well. Flights are direct, so you are choosing between cabins and add-ons rather than connections. What differs is what comes with the ticket: a low-cost fare is built around the seat, so check cabin bag sizes, checked luggage and seat choice before you compare totals.

Every flight on this route lands at Berlin Brandenburg, the city's airport, so there is no second airport to choose between on the German side. It sits outside the city, and rail and bus services run from the terminal into the centre, with taxis at arrivals for a straight run to your hotel. Allow time at the other end of the trip instead: London has several airports, and reaching Gatwick, Luton or Stansted takes longer than Heathrow or London City for most people. Check the terminal and the last connection back before you book a late arrival.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check which London airport your fare leaves from, since Gatwick, Luton and Stansted sit further out than Heathrow or London City.
• Confirm what the low-cost fare includes, especially cabin bag size and whether a checked bag is added.
• If you build the trip from separate tickets, leave a wide gap in case the first flight runs late.
• Check the entry rules for Germany and that your passport or ID meets them before you pay.
• Compare your dates against the price calendar, because October is usually the cheapest month and holidays are not.
• Decide whether a late arrival into Berlin Brandenburg still connects with a train or bus to your accommodation.
