Cheap flights from London to Fortaleza

March is the cheapest month for this route, and the price calendar covers September through July, so you can compare a wide stretch of the year before you commit. August is not among the months with published fares, which matters if you need to see a price before booking. Fortaleza fills up around Carnival and the Brazilian summer holidays, and summer in Europe pushes demand up too, so the months around March usually leave more room. The calendar lets you see how the fare moves when you shift your dates by a day or two.

No airline flies London to Fortaleza non-stop, so every itinerary is a connecting one. Easyjet and Wizz Air Malta are the low-cost names in the mix, while TAP Portugal, British Airways, BA EuroFlyer, Iberia Express, Latam Airlines Brasil, Brussels Airlines, Luxair and Portug are the full-service carriers you will see. What you get differs far more than the fare suggests: a low-cost ticket and a full-service ticket rarely cover the same baggage, seat or change rules, so read what is included before you compare. On a long connecting trip, the length of the layover matters as much as the ticket.

Pinto Martins is the airport for Fortaleza and the only one serving the city, so every itinerary ends there. It sits outside the centre, and the usual ways in are taxi, ride app or bus, so arrange your transfer before you land rather than at the kerb. Allow time for immigration and baggage reclaim before you head into town, and if you land in the early hours, have your ride booked in advance.
