Cheap flights from London to Luxor

The cheapest month on this route is November, when the Nile Valley heat eases and fares dip before the Christmas rush. September and October still run hot in Luxor, while December through February bring mild days and the highest demand, as school holidays in the United Kingdom push fares up. Spring and early summer are quieter on price but hotter on the ground. Midweek departures from London, Tuesday and Wednesday in particular, usually cost less than Friday or Sunday flights. The price calendar on this page shows how fares move month by month across the seasons.

Wizz Air UK and Easyjet are the low-cost names you will see most often out of London, with Wizz Air Malta flying the same group's routes. TUI Airways sells holiday-style seats where a bag is usually bundled in. Egyptair is the full-service option on the Egyptian side, and Swiss, Helvetic Airways, Pegasus and LOT Polish Airlines appear on connecting itineraries through their own hubs. Accesrail shows up on some listings as well. On low-cost tickets you normally pay extra for checked luggage, seat choice and food, while full-service fares tend to include a checked bag and a meal.

Luxor International Airport is the only airport serving the city, set on its eastern edge a short drive from the Nile corniche and the temple complexes. The West Bank, where many of the tombs and hotels sit, means a ferry or bridge crossing on top of that. Taxis and pre-booked hotel transfers are the usual ways into town; ride-hailing is limited, so agree the fare before you set off or arrange a pickup through where you are staying. The terminal is small and arrivals clear quickly, though passport control can queue when several flights land close together. Bring local cash for the driver, and check whether your hotel is on the East or West Bank before you land.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check which London airport your ticket uses — the city's airports sit far apart.
• On low-cost tickets, add a checked bag and seat selection while you book, not at the airport.
• If you connect through a European hub, confirm it is one ticket, not two — a missed connection on separate tickets is yours to fix.
• Check Egypt's current entry rules and make sure your passport stays valid well past your return date.
• Compare November against school holiday weeks, where the fare difference on this route shows up most.
• Ask whether your hotel in Luxor sits on the East or West Bank before booking a transfer.
