Cheap flights from London to Geneva

November is the cheapest month on this route, and late autumn before the Christmas rush tends to stay calm and well priced. Fares are listed across the whole year, so you can compare any month you like. Winter dips again in January and February outside the ski weeks, when Geneva fills with skiers and prices climb. Summer is the busiest stretch: school holidays and lake-season weekends push fares up, especially on Friday and Sunday departures. Midweek flights, Tuesday and Wednesday in particular, are usually quieter and cheaper. Book a few weeks ahead for winter and further out for summer and the December holidays, when the low fares go first.

The route mixes low-cost and full-service carriers. easyJet, Jet2, Wizz Air UK, Wizz Air Malta, Vueling Airlines and Norwegian International sit on the low-cost side, while British Airways flies it too, alongside its BA CityFlyer and BA EuroFlyer operations. Direct flights run here, but not every carrier flies non-stop on every date, and some itineraries are connections sold as one ticket. What is included differs sharply: low-cost fares usually cover a seat and a small cabin bag, with checked luggage, seat choice and food charged extra, while full-service tickets tend to bundle a larger cabin bag and a checked allowance. Add the bag you actually need before comparing prices.

Geneva International is the airport for the city, set a short ride from the centre on the Swiss side of the border. Trains and buses run between the airport and the city through the day, and taxis wait outside arrivals if you would rather go straight to your hotel. Because the terminal sits so close to France, check which exit and which side of the border you need if your destination is on the French side rather than in Geneva itself. In winter, snow and fog can slow arrivals and departures, so leave a margin if you are connecting onward by train or car.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Confirm which London airport your fare uses, since Heathrow, Gatwick, Luton, Stansted and London City are far apart.
• Add your checked bag to a low-cost fare before you compare it with a full-service ticket.
• If your trip is split across separate tickets, leave a generous gap in case the first flight runs late.
• Check the current passport and entry rules for Switzerland before you book.
• Book early for ski season and December travel, and look at November if your dates are flexible.
