Cheap flights from London to Las Palmas

December is the cheapest month on this route, and the weeks around it are when fares soften most. Winter sun demand pushes prices up over the Christmas and New Year break and again during school half-terms, so the quieter stretches either side of those dates usually cost less. Summer is peak season on the Canary Islands run, with July and August the priciest. Midweek departures tend to be cheaper than Friday and Sunday flights. Book well ahead for summer and the Christmas period; outside those windows you can often leave it later.

Ryanair, Easyjet, Jet2, Wizz Air UK, Vueling Airlines, TUI Airways, EasyJet Europe and Wizz Air Malta all fly this route, alongside Malta Airlines and Mokulele Flight Service. Most of these are low-cost carriers, so the ticket usually covers your seat and little else, and what is included differs from one airline to the next. A hold bag or a chosen seat can change the total. TUI Airways and Jet2 sell seat-only fares as well as package-style trips, which can suit you if you want luggage built in. Direct flights exist, but not every airline flies non-stop, so check whether your itinerary is one leg or two before comparing totals.

Gran Canaria is the airport you land at, and it sits outside Las Palmas rather than in the city, so you will need a transfer at the other end. Buses, taxis and hire cars cover the run into town, and the journey is short enough that most people head straight to their accommodation. Check timetables before you rely on public transport, especially for late arrivals and early departures, when services thin out. Hiring a car? Book it before you fly, as desks at the airport get busy in the winter sun season. Keep the return leg in mind too, since a pre-booked ride takes the stress out of a dawn flight home.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check which London airport you are flying from, since this route uses several and they are not interchangeable.
• Add a hold bag to the fare before you compare, because low-cost tickets on this route rarely include one.
• If your itinerary is two separate tickets, leave a generous gap in case the first leg is delayed.
• Check your passport and any entry documents for Spain are valid before you pay.
• Book early for summer and the Christmas break, when Canary Islands fares climb.
• Try December if your dates are flexible, as that is when this route is cheapest.
