Cheap flights from London to Fort De France

The fare calendar points to October as the month with the lowest prices on this route, and it covers September through to April. Outside that window there are no dated fares on this page. Midweek departures usually cost less than weekend ones, and the weeks around Christmas and New Year fill up early, so book those well ahead. For the rest of the season, a few weeks of lead time is normally enough to catch a reasonable fare.

No airline flies London to Fort De France non-stop, so every itinerary is a connection. Easyjet and Jet2 are the low-cost names in the mix, and Air Transat flies leisure-style long-haul, which usually means a lower fare and a paid checked bag. British Airways, Air Canada, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Air France, Swiss, TAP Portugal and American Airlines are full-service carriers; on their long-haul fares a checked allowance is normally included, and the connection is usually built into one ticket with a protected transfer. Mixing a low-cost leg with a separate long-haul ticket means you carry the risk if the first flight is late.

Flights land at Lamentin, the airport that serves the whole of Martinique. It sits outside Fort De France, so you still need a transfer after you clear arrivals. Taxis and pre-booked shuttles meet incoming flights, and the car hire desks are at the terminal if you want your own wheels for the island. Local buses run into Fort De France as well, but they are awkward with big luggage. If you change planes at a hub, check which terminal your onward connection uses, and remember that Martinique is part of France, so French entry rules apply.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check which London airport you are leaving from, because the city has several and they are not interchangeable.
• On a low-cost ticket, add the checked bag to the fare before you compare it with a full-service one.
• If your itinerary is built from separate tickets, leave a long gap at the hub in case the first flight is delayed.
• Confirm the entry rules for Martinique, which follows French requirements rather than a separate island regime.
• Book early for travel around Christmas and New Year, when seats on this route go first.
• Compare the layover length as well as the fare, since a cheap connection can add hours to the trip.
