Cheap Flights from London to Figari

September is the low-fare month here. The price calendar runs from October through January, then picks up again in April and covers the summer through September; February and March appear nowhere on it. Fares climb across the destination's summer, especially when the school holidays land, and December lifts around Christmas. If your dates are tied to school terms, book as soon as the fares open; if they flex, the months either side of the peak usually pay off.

Easyjet sets the tone on the low-cost side: the base fare covers the flight and a cabin bag, while a checked bag is an add-on you pay for separately. Jet2 works on the same low-cost model. British Airways and Air France fly the route as full-service carriers, with more included in the ticket price, and Swiss, Lufthansa, Lufthansa City Airlines and Austrian round out the list, usually with a connection along the way. The real comparison is total cost: add the price of your hold bag to a low-cost fare before you decide it is the cheaper option.

Getting into town starts with the road: Figari Sud Corse is a compact terminal set in open country in southern Corsica, well away from the island's coastal towns. Rental cars and pre-booked transfers are the usual ways onward, and taxis meet scheduled flights, but there is no quick hop into a city centre here. Two things to watch: car hire desks at a small airport keep limited hours, so check them if you land late, and a compact terminal offers fewer shops and services than a major hub, so arrive prepared.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Pick your departure airport first, since London City, Gatwick, Heathrow, Luton and Stansted sit in different corners of the city.
• Add hold baggage to an Easyjet or Jet2 fare before you compare, because low-cost tickets charge for checked bags.
• If a fare combines two separate tickets, check that a delay on the first leg cannot cost you the second.
• Check what documents France requires from travellers arriving from the United Kingdom before you commit to a booking.
• Look at September first, because the fare calendar bottoms out there on this route.
• Scan the price calendar before fixing dates: it runs October through January and April through September, skipping February and March.
