Cheap flights from London to Bremen

September is the cheapest month to fly this route, and it is also one of the easiest: the summer rush is over, fares come down and the city is still lively. Fares climb through the summer break and again around the winter holidays, so if your dates are flexible, compare a few weeks either side of your target. Midweek departures tend to be quieter and cheaper than Friday evenings and Sunday nights, when weekend traffic peaks. Book a few weeks ahead for the low-cost carriers, and check the price calendar before you commit, because fares on this route move month by month.

Several airlines show up on London to Bremen. Ryanair and Ryanair UK cover the low-cost end of the market, where the headline fare buys a seat and a small bag and everything else is an add-on — read the fare rules, not just the price. Lufthansa, Lufthansa City Airlines, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Swiss, Helvetic Airways, Edelweiss Air and Pegasus mostly appear on connecting itineraries, which can mean a longer day but sometimes a more generous baggage allowance. Direct flights do operate here, so decide first whether you want the shortest journey or the lowest fare, then filter accordingly.

Bremen has one airport, Bremen Airport, and it sits close enough to the city that the transfer into the centre is short, whether you take a taxi or public transport. Because there is only one arrival point, you never have to guess which side of the city you are landing on. The thing to watch is the other end: your return flight lands at whichever London airport you booked, and Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton and London City are far apart. Check the transfer options at your London airport before you book, especially for late arrivals.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check which of London's five airports your fare leaves from, because a ticket out of Stansted is not the same trip as one out of Heathrow.
• Look at what the low-cost fare actually includes, since a cabin bag and a checked bag are usually paid extras.
• If your itinerary connects, make sure both legs sit on one ticket so a delay does not leave you stranded.
• Confirm the current entry rules for Germany and that your passport or ID is valid for the trip.
• Compare September against your preferred month before booking, because the price gap on this route can be wide.
• Remember that Bremen has a single airport, so there is nothing to choose on the arrival side.
