Cheap flights from London to Kayseri

November is the cheapest month for this route, and the quiet weeks either side of it in late autumn and early winter usually hold the lowest fares. Spring and summer are busier, with August the peak for Turkish families returning from Europe and for UK school holidays, so book well ahead if you need those dates. Midweek departures tend to cost less than Friday or Sunday flights, when weekend traffic pushes prices up. Turkish school breaks and the Bayram holidays also lift demand at the Kayseri end, so shifting your trip by a few days usually costs less.

There are no direct flights, so every itinerary pairs at least two legs or two carriers. Turkish Airlines is the full-service choice most travellers know, with connections through Istanbul and bags, meals and seat selection built into most fares. Pegasus and Ajet are the low-cost side of the same hub, and Sun Express flies seasonal routes that can slot into a connection. From the UK, Wizz Air UK, Jet2 and Easyjet cover the first leg to a European gateway, while KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and KLM Cityhopper feed in through Amsterdam, and German Airways adds another connection. On low-cost tickets, check what the fare includes — cabin bag only is common, and a checked bag changes the total.

Erkilet is Kayseri's only airport and it sits outside the city, so plan a transfer rather than a walk. Taxis and shuttle services meet arrivals, and many hotels will arrange a pickup if you ask in advance. The drive into the centre takes a while, so allow for it, particularly on a late arrival when fewer drivers are around. Winter weather can slow things down at both ends of the trip, so leave room in your plans for a delayed connection.

• Confirm which London airport your first leg leaves from, since the city has several and they are far apart.
• Look at whether your bags are included, because the low-cost fares on this route often cover a cabin bag only.
• Check whether your connection sits on one ticket, since separate bookings leave you carrying the risk of a missed flight.
• Make sure your passport and any Turkish entry requirements are sorted well before you fly.
• Move your dates to November if you can, and check the price calendar before you commit.
• Compare total journey time as well as fare, because every option on this route involves a stop.
