Cheap Flights from London to Liverpool

The shoulder weeks on either side of the school summer holidays are where fares begin to soften, and September is the month that comes out cheapest here. From October the calendar builds towards Christmas, and the days around the holidays themselves are the ones to avoid when you can. January to March is quieter again, then demand climbs through late spring and into summer. Midweek departures usually undercut Friday and Sunday, which carry weekend traffic in both directions. The price calendar on this page runs from September to July, so the whole stretch is there to compare.

British Airways is the anchor name, sold alongside its CityFlyer arm, and both sit at the full-service end with cabin baggage and seat choice generally included. Easyjet and Jet2 work the other way: lean headline fares, with bags and extras priced separately, so judge the total rather than the sticker. Air France and Aer Lingus are full-service network carriers whose itineraries connect within their own networks, while Loganair operates as a regional airline on smaller aircraft. Hahn Air also appears in results, usually as the ticketing name on flights run by other carriers. Since nothing flies this route direct, the airline you choose decides where you change planes and how long you wait.

Leave room for a late landing: with every itinerary connecting, arrivals at Liverpool John Lennon can come in the evening, and the last bus into town will not hold for a delayed first leg. The airport sits a short drive from the city centre, with regular buses and taxis meeting arrivals and car hire desks on site if you would rather drive yourself. There is only one airport at this end, so the choice that mattered was which London airport you left from — and if you do land late, a taxi is the simple fallback.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Fix on a departure airport first — City, Gatwick, Heathrow, Luton or Stansted — since connections and total journey time differ from each one.
• Price bags into the fare before you judge it, because Easyjet and Jet2 sell lean tickets and charge for cases separately.
• This is a domestic UK trip, so check which photo ID your airline accepts and that the booking name matches it.
• If two airlines share one ticket, check whether the connection is protected or a missed leg means rebooking yourself.
• Aim for September when your dates flex; the summer holidays and the Christmas weeks push fares the other way.
