Cheap Flights from London to Charleroi

Book as early as your dates allow. Both airlines here are low-cost carriers whose fares climb as seats fill, so a booking made months ahead usually beats one made the week before, and midweek departures tend to price below Fridays and Sundays.

May is the cheapest month in the calendar, and the priced months run in two blocks: September through January, then March and May. Expect fuller planes and firmer fares around Christmas and New Year, when family travel on both sides of the Channel peaks.

The mix is unusual: every airline on this route is low-cost, with no full-service option at all. Easyjet and Pegasus are the two names selling tickets, and neither flies London–Charleroi nonstop, so a connection is built into every itinerary.

What differs is the wrapping around the seat. Both sell base fares with extras priced separately, so baggage, seat choice and onboard food move the total, and the two airlines price those add-ons differently — compare like with like before you book.

Brussels South Charleroi Airport is a compact operation geared to low-cost traffic, and that shows the moment you land: short walks from gate to exit, quick baggage claim, and buses and taxis waiting outside for the ride into town.

Keep the name in perspective: Charleroi's centre is a short bus or taxi ride away, while Brussels itself lies farther off, so if the capital is your destination, plan the onward transfer before you fly. Check how you will get back for the return leg as well, because evening arrivals leave fewer transfer options.

• Check the entry rules Belgium applies to United Kingdom travellers, including how long your passport must stay valid.
• Confirm which London airport your flight leaves from — Heathrow, Gatwick, Luton, Stansted and London City are all options, and they are spread well apart.
• Find out whether your connection sits on one ticket or two, and keep spare time between flights if they are separate.
• Price the baggage you need before comparing, because low-cost fares change rank once bags are added.
• Look at May first if your dates are flexible, since it is the cheapest month in the calendar.
• Work out the transfer from Brussels South Charleroi Airport to your final stop before you land.
