Cheap flights from London to Georgetown

Fares here answer to the United Kingdom calendar: Christmas, Easter and school holidays push up departures out of London, and the December dates tend to go early. May prices lowest, so if your dates can flex, test it before anything else. The price calendar on this page runs from October through May and returns for July, giving an autumn-to-spring window plus one summer month to compare. Beyond that, the levers are small: shift your departure across the week to see how the fares move, and lock in holiday weeks well ahead, because options thin out as the date nears.

The mix on this route leans full-service: British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Air France, Air Canada, United Airlines, Avianca, Aer Lingus, Air Europa and Icelandair all sell the journey, and not one of them flies it without a stop. Every carrier joins the route through its own connection, so total travel time varies more between these fares than the headline price suggests. What the ticket covers differs too — checked baggage, seat choice, meals — and the cheaper tiers from any of these names can strip those out. Read the inclusions alongside the price before you commit.

Cheddi Jagan International is a compact airport rather than a sprawling hub, which keeps the walk from gate to exit short but funnels every arrival through one hall. It sits a drive out of Georgetown, so settle your transfer before you land: taxis and hotel pickups are the usual way in, and there is no train to fall back on. Keep your accommodation address written down, have payment ready for the driver, and give the ride into the centre the time it takes.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Pick the London airport first — Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton and London City sit far apart and their fares rarely match.
• Check the baggage each fare includes, since allowances differ across the carriers and a connection can complicate through-checking.
• With separate tickets, confirm who transfers your bag at the stop and what happens if the first flight runs late.
• Verify the passport and entry rules Guyana applies to your nationality before you pay.
• Test May in the price calendar first, because it prices lowest here.
• Book Christmas and school-holiday weeks early, since the fares left late are higher and the choices thinner.
