Cheap flights from London to Burgas

November is the cheapest month on this route, and the weeks around it stay quiet too. Summer is the peak: if you want to fly between June and August, book well ahead and expect to pay for the privilege. Spring and early autumn sit in the middle, and September and October are often the sensible compromise. Midweek departures usually cost less than Friday and Sunday flights, and school breaks in both countries lift prices on every carrier. If your dates are flexible, let the calendar choose the month for you.

Several carriers serve London to Burgas. Ryanair, Wizz Air and Easyjet are the low-cost names here: the fare buys your seat and a small cabin bag, and everything else — checked luggage, seat choice, priority boarding — costs extra. Jet2 and TUI Airways sell more holiday-shaped tickets, where a bag and sometimes a transfer are part of the deal. Lufthansa and Lufthansa City Airlines are full-service, with a different cabin and baggage allowance, usually on an itinerary that connects rather than flies nonstop. Norwegian, Norwegian International and Israir also appear on this route, so compare what each fare actually includes before you look at totals.

Burgas has a single airport, Burgas Airport, and it sits close to the city — a short ride from the centre rather than a long transfer. Buses run between the terminal and town in season, and taxis and pre-booked transfers wait outside arrivals; the drive is short enough that a taxi is a realistic option. In summer the terminal fills up with holiday charters, so allow time at baggage reclaim. If you are heading straight to a resort, arrange the transfer before you land, because taxi queues build when several flights arrive together.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Decide which London airport you are flying from — London City, Gatwick, Heathrow, Luton and Stansted are all options and they are far apart.
• Check what your low-cost fare includes, since a cabin bag only is common and checked luggage costs extra.
• If your trip is stitched from two separate tickets, leave a generous gap in case the first flight runs late.
• Confirm your passport and entry documents for Bulgaria before you pay.
• Book early for June, July and August, and look at November if you can travel outside the summer.
• Watch the connection time if you fly full-service through a hub instead of nonstop.
