Cheap flights from London to Larnaca

November is the cheapest month on this route, at the tail of the Cyprus season when the sea is still warm but the summer crowds have gone. Weekday departures through late autumn and early winter are quiet and cheap; Friday and Sunday flights cost more because weekenders travel in both directions. Spring and early summer fill up around school holidays, and the height of summer is peak family season, so book well ahead if you need particular dates. For winter travel you can usually leave it later, since seats are easier to find.

Nearly every carrier on this route is a low-cost or holiday airline, and that shapes what you actually pay for. Wizz Air, Wizz Air UK, Wizz Air Malta, Ryanair and Easyjet are the names you will see most often, and they price seats, bags and seat selection separately on top of the fare. Jet2 and TUI Airways sell more holiday-shaped tickets, so their fares sometimes bundle a bag or a transfer. Norwegian, Norwegian International and Vueling Airlines turn up on some departures too. Expect a cabin bag in the base fare and a fee for anything checked, and read each airline's own rules before you compare totals.

Larnaca is the only airport serving this route, and it sits close to the town, so the run into the centre is short. Buses and taxis meet the main arrivals, and many holiday bookings include a transfer to resorts further along the coast. If your accommodation is on the far side of the island, plan the onward drive in advance and check whether a pickup is part of your booking. Late landings leave fewer buses running, so sort your transfer before you fly rather than at the terminal.

Country facts: Wikidata

• London has five airports, so confirm which one your fare leaves from before you book your travel to the terminal.
• On low-cost tickets the base fare covers a cabin bag, so add checked baggage when you book rather than at the gate.
• If your trip is split across two separate tickets, leave a generous gap between flights, because a missed connection is not protected.
• Check the entry rules for Cyprus for your nationality, and make sure your passport has enough validity for the trip.
• November is the cheapest month, so weigh that against school holidays if your dates can move.
