Cheap flights from London to Fez

Prices peak twice: through the summer school holidays, and again around Christmas and New Year, when Morocco's mild winter draws the demand. Work back from those spikes and the fare line sinks steadily into autumn, with November the lowest month on this page's calendar. Spring sits between the extremes, warm and green without the peak-season squeeze. Ramadan shifts from one year to the next and changes the rhythm of the city, so check where it falls before fixing dates. Midweek departures tend to price lower than Fridays and weekends.

The difference you feel first is what the fare includes. The low-cost names on this route — Ryanair, Ryanair UK, Easyjet, Wizz Air UK and Transavia — sell the seat with a small cabin bag, then charge for hold luggage, seat choice and the rest. Royal Air Maroc, Turkish Airlines, Lufthansa, Lufthansa City Airlines and Eurowings sit closer to the traditional model, where a checked bag and onboard service usually come as part of the ticket. Direct flights operate on the route as well, so if journey time matters, filter for the nonstops; the connecting itineraries exist mainly to open up dates and departure airports that the direct seats miss.

Sort out the last stretch before you land. Fes–Saïss Airport is the city's single gateway, a short drive from the medina, and cars stop at the walls, so a taxi is the way in — agree the fare before you set off and ask your riad or hotel which gate the driver should use. Inside the old city the alleys defeat navigation apps, so note the name of your nearest square or gate. Keep your passport ready for the arrival formalities, and on the way home double-check which London airport your ticket leaves from, since turning up at the wrong one of five is the classic own goal.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check Morocco's entry rules and your passport's validity first, since requirements depend on your nationality.
• Choose your London airport deliberately: flights leave from five of them, and the wrong pick costs travel time.
• Compare what each fare includes, since low-cost tickets usually cover a small cabin bag only, with hold luggage priced on top.
• On two separate tickets, allow several hours between flights, because each airline rebooks only its own passengers.
• Weigh direct flights against one-stop itineraries on the same dates; connections can add hours to the journey.
• Lean towards November when the fare calendar shows summer or Christmas-week fares climbing.
