Cheap flights from London to Kefallinia

Kefallinia keeps a Mediterranean rhythm: hot, dry summer days with light late into the evening, and a sea that holds its warmth into autumn. October is the month when fares sit lowest, and it still suits swimming and long days out. July and August sit inside the UK school holidays, so plan those trips well ahead. Midweek departures usually cost less than the Friday-to-Sunday cluster, and since the fare calendar covers all twelve months, a November break or a spring visit is easy to price too.

What your fare includes is where this route splits. The low-cost set — Ryanair, Easyjet and Norwegian — sells the seat, with cabin bags, hold bags, seat selection and changes as paid extras. Jet2 and TUI Airways sit close to the package-holiday world, and their flight-only fares usually carry a cabin bag. Swiss and Edelweiss Air sell tiered fares — the cheaper tiers trim what is included, so check the baggage line first. Aegean Airlines and Sky Express are the Greek names here, useful when your date needs a connection rather than a nonstop. Hahn Air Systems appears because it issues tickets for other carriers' flights rather than flying its own.

You land at Kefallinia airport, the island's single small terminal, a short drive from the main town and the coast around it. Taxis meet incoming flights, car hire desks sit close to arrivals, and hotels and package operators arrange transfers if you book one before you fly. The island is larger than it looks on a map, so if you want more than the town nearest the airport, a hire car usually earns its keep. Two things to watch: the terminal is compact, so bags, taxis and drivers all sit a few steps from the door, and outside the summer months, check that your transfer or hire car desk is open when you land.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Add bags, seat choice and booking fees to a low-cost fare before you compare it with a ticket that includes luggage.
• Check which London airport your flight uses — City, Gatwick, Heathrow, Luton and Stansted are all in play — and how long the trip there takes.
• On separate tickets, leave a generous connection gap and check who rebooks you if the first flight slips.
• Check Greece's entry rules, including how long your passport must be valid.
• Run your dates through the price calendar; October sits at the lowest point, so compare it with the summer months first.
• Book July and August early, since those months sit inside the UK school holidays.
