Cheap flights from London to Iasi

November is the cheapest month on this route, and the quieter weeks around it usually follow the same pattern. Book early for autumn and winter travel, and earlier still for summer and the winter holidays, when seats fill up. Weekday departures tend to cost less than Friday and Sunday flights, which is when weekend trips and visits home overlap. If your dates are flexible, compare the whole month rather than a single day, and let the price calendar do that work for you. Prices are shown for every month from September through August, so you can see the shape of the year before you commit.

Wizz Air Malta, Wizz Air UK, Easyjet and Jet2 are the low-cost names you will see most on this route, and their fares are built around hand baggage. KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and KLM Cityhopper, Aer Lingus, Iberia Express, Vueling Airlines and Animawings also appear in the mix. A low-cost ticket keeps the headline fare down but charges for checked bags and seat selection, so compare the total you will actually pay. Full-service and connecting itineraries usually include a bag and a seat, and they can work out better once you add those extras. Check whether a fare is one flight or a connection before you decide.

You land at Iasi's airport, the only one serving the city, so there is no second airport to mix it up with. Plan your transfer into town before you travel, and have a backup if your flight gets in late in the evening. Because everything goes through one airport, arrivals bunch up when several flights land close together, so allow time for bags and passport checks. From London your arrival hour depends on which airport you left from, so build your onward plans around the landing time rather than the other way round.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Decide which London airport you fly from, since City, Gatwick, Heathrow, Luton and Stansted are not interchangeable.
• Check the baggage allowance on low-cost fares before you compare totals.
• If your trip has a connection, keep both legs on one ticket so a delay does not strand you.
• Carry a valid passport or identity card for Romania and check the entry rules that apply to you.
• Book early for the winter holidays; late autumn is when this route is at its quietest.
• Compare the fare with the cost of getting to the airport, since the cheapest ticket is not always the cheapest trip.
