Cheap flights from London to Cincinnati

November is the cheapest month to fly this route, and the price calendar on this page shows how the other months compare. Fares are listed from September through July, so late-autumn and winter trips usually undercut the summer ones. Midweek departures, Tuesday and Wednesday, tend to be calmer and cheaper than Friday or Sunday, when business travellers and weekenders overlap. Avoid the Thanksgiving and Christmas weeks if you can, because that is when transatlantic fares climb fastest. Book a few months ahead for summer travel and closer in for November, when demand drops.

Nobody flies London to Cincinnati nonstop, so every airline here sells you a connection. Lufthansa, Swiss, Brussels Airlines and Lufthansa City Airlines route you through their hubs, KLM through Amsterdam, TAP Portugal and Portug through Portugal, Turkish Airlines through Istanbul, and Air Canada across the Atlantic. Air Baltic appears in the results as well. Most of these are full-service carriers, so a checked bag is usually part of a long-haul ticket, but the fare family decides that, not the name on the plane. Lighter fares are hand baggage only. Check whether both legs sit on one ticket: on a single ticket the airline looks after you when a flight slips, on separate tickets it does not.

Cincinnati is served by Nth Kentucky, an airport that sits across the Ohio River in Kentucky rather than in Ohio, a short drive from downtown. Taxis, rideshares and rental cars are the usual ways into town, so ask your hotel about a shuttle before you land late at night. Staying on the Kentucky side, in Covington or Newport, puts you within walking distance of the riverfront and shortens that last leg. Two things are worth remembering: this is the only airport serving the city, so every flight lands here, and the river crossings slow down at rush hour if you are driving yourself onward into Ohio.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check which London airport your fare leaves from, because Heathrow, Gatwick, City, Luton and Stansted are not interchangeable and moving between them takes time.
• Confirm whether a checked bag is included, since the lightest fares on this route are hand baggage only.
• Make sure both legs sit on one ticket, or leave a generous gap in Cincinnati if you book them separately.
• Check the entry requirements for the USA and that your passport is valid well beyond your return date.
• Fly in November if your dates are flexible, as it is the cheapest month on this route.
• Look hard at the connection time in your hub, because a short transfer in winter is the first thing to go wrong.
