Cheap flights London to Innsbruck

January is when fares on this route tend to drop, after the Christmas rush and before the ski half-term crowds arrive. December through March is peak season for the Alps, so weekend departures cost more than midweek ones. September and October are quiet and mild, good for hiking. Book a few weeks ahead for winter weekends and later for January, when seats are easier to find. Try to avoid the school holidays around Christmas, New Year and February half-term if you want a calmer trip.

Easyjet, Jet2 and Transavia Airlines are the low-cost names here, and their fares are built around extras you add yourself. British Airways, BA EuroFlyer and BA CityFlyer sell full-service tickets, while Austrian and KLM Royal Dutch Airlines connect through their hubs in Vienna and Amsterdam. Titan Airways and Lufthansa City Airlines also show up on some departures. Baggage rules differ between low-cost and full-service tickets, so read what is included before you compare totals.

Innsbruck Airport is the only airport serving the city, and it sits close to the centre, so the transfer is short. Local buses run between the terminal and the main station, and taxis wait outside arrivals. The building is small, so bags tend to come out quickly, though queues build when several flights land together on winter weekends. If you are heading straight to a ski resort, sort your onward transfer before you fly, because seats fill up in peak season.
