Cheap flights from London to Cordoba

April is the cheapest month on this route, and it is also autumn in Cordoba, when the fierce summer heat has gone and the city is comfortable to walk. The price calendar covers most of the year, though February and August are left out. Fares climb around the southern winter school break and the end-of-year holidays, so book well ahead for those. Midweek departures from London tend to price lower than Friday and weekend ones, and flying early in the week also means fewer people competing for the same connections.

No airline flies London to Cordoba non-stop, so every carrier here sells you a connecting itinerary. Vueling Airlines is the low-cost name in the mix, which usually means a stripped-back fare with bags and seat choice charged on top. British Airways, BA CityFlyer, Iberia, Air Europa, TAP Portugal, United Airlines, Luxair, Helvetic Airways and Portug are full-service, so a checked bag and a proper meal on the long leg are normally part of the ticket. What differs most is where you change planes and how long you wait there. Before you compare fares, check whether both legs sit on one ticket, because a split booking leaves you exposed if the first flight runs late.

Ingeniero Ambrosio Taravella is Cordoba's airport and handles the city's traffic, so every London departure lands here. It sits outside the centre rather than in it, and the usual ways in are a taxi, a remis — the local pre-booked car — or a ride-hailing app, with an airport bus for the cheaper end. Leave time after landing for immigration and baggage, especially when several long-haul arrivals land close together. Have some local cash or a card that works abroad for the ride into town, and know your accommodation address before you step out of the terminal.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check which London airport your ticket actually leaves from, since the city's airports sit far apart and moving between them eats a day.
• Confirm whether the fare includes a checked bag, because the low-cost leg often charges for it separately.
• See whether both flights sit on one ticket or on two separate bookings, and what happens if the first one is delayed.
• Check Argentina's entry rules and make sure your passport has enough validity left for the trip.
• Compare April against the school-holiday months before you commit, since the gap in fare can be wide.
• Build the layover into your plan and make sure the connection leaves enough time to change terminal.
