Cheap flights from London to Greenville

The weeks on either side of spring soften the fares first, and April turns out to be the cheapest month in the calendar, with mild weather waiting at both ends of the journey. October through January all carry published prices, and December is the stretch to treat with care, because holiday travel from both the United Kingdom and the United States fills the planes. Midweek departures tend to undercut weekend ones, and a connection timed for a daytime arrival on the American side saves you the overnight slog. July sits at the other end of the range, in the thick of the summer holiday season.

What a fare includes splits these carriers first: British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, Delta Air Lines and American Airlines usually price a checked bag into the transatlantic ticket, while seat selection or a second case drifts into the extras when a leg is flown by a smaller operator such as Helvetic Airways or Edelweiss Air. None of the ten flies the route nonstop, so every itinerary connects — Aer Lingus via Dublin, Swiss and Edelweiss via Zurich, Brussels Airlines via Brussels, Air France via Paris — or hands you over to Delta or American inside the United States. Check whether the journey sits on one ticket or two, because that decides who rebooks you if a connection fails.

Land at Spartanburg airport late in the day and the onward journey changes character: it sits outside the city, a drive rather than a transit ride from central Greenville, and the ways of covering that stretch thin out once evening sets in. A rental car is the usual answer in this part of the United States and doubles as the practical way to get around once you are there, while taxis and ride apps work best when booked ahead. Because this is a regional field rather than a major hub, counters and services close earlier than you may be used to, so check the last leg of the itinerary as carefully as the outbound one.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check whether the itinerary sits on one ticket or two, as a missed connection on separate tickets is yours to fix.
• Compare connection times at the transfer hub, leaving room for the transatlantic leg to run late.
• Read what the fare includes before comparing price, since a checked case and seat choice can sit outside the base fare.
• Compare every departure airport — Heathrow, Gatwick, City, Luton, Stansted — since the one you use shapes the journey as much as the fare.
• Sort the documents the United States asks of British passport holders, including any travel authorisation, ahead of booking.
• Weigh April against other dates, as the price calendar shows the cheapest stretch at a glance.
