Cheap flights from London to Brindisi

September is the cheapest month on this route, and it is also when Puglia stays warm while the summer crowds thin out. Late spring and early autumn are the sweet spots: beach weather without peak-season fares. July and August are the expensive stretch, and the weeks around Christmas and Easter push prices up again. Fly midweek rather than at the weekend when you can, and book a few weeks ahead for summer travel, because the cheap seats on the low-cost carriers go first.

Ryanair, Wizz Air, Wizz Air Malta, Easyjet and Jet2 are the low-cost names you will see most often here, and they are the ones that keep fares down. ITA Airways, British Airways, Swiss and Helvetic Airways are the full-service options, where a bag in the hold and a seat choice usually come with the ticket rather than as an extra. Mokulele Flight Service also appears among the carriers. On the low-cost tickets, cabin baggage rules are strict and a checked bag is a paid add-on, so compare the total, not just the headline fare.

Brindisi Casale is the airport for this route, sitting just outside the city and a short drive from the centre. Buses and taxis cover the run into town, and if you are heading further along the coast, a hire car picked up at the airport saves you time. Small Italian airports go quiet in the evening, so check the last connection into the city against your landing time. Keep your onward plan in mind when you choose a flight that lands late.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check which London airport your ticket actually uses, because the city spreads its flights across several.
• Look at the total with a checked bag added, since low-cost fares rarely include one.
• If your itinerary involves a change of plane, make sure both legs sit on one ticket so a delay does not leave you stranded.
• Carry a valid passport or identity card accepted for travel to Italy, and check the rules for your nationality before you book.
• Book early for summer and around the holidays, when the cheap seats on this route sell out first.
