Cheap flights from London to Monrovia

Book early rather than late on this route: with a connection built into every itinerary, waiting until the last moment shrinks your choice of flights before it lowers the fare. The price calendar here runs from October to May, and April is the cheapest month among them. If Christmas or school holidays fix your dates, reserve sooner; with flexible dates, check midweek departures before weekend ones.

Ten carriers sell the route and none flies it nonstop, so the difference you actually feel sits in the connection: how long the wait is, how many legs the journey has and what the ticket covers. Royal Air Maroc, Brussels Airlines, Edelweiss Air, Swiss, Helvetic Airways, Air France, Kenya Airways, Turkish Airlines, AIR PEACE and Ethiopian Airlines all appear in the same search, sometimes on very different routings. Check whether your two flights share one ticket, and whether hold baggage and meals are included or sold as extras.

You land at Roberts International, which stands outside Monrovia itself, so the journey ends with a drive rather than a walk. Taxis and pre-arranged pickups are the usual ways into town, and it is worth booking your transfer before you fly. Settle the price with the driver before the car sets off, or rely on a pickup arranged in advance so there is nothing to negotiate after a long travel day.

• Check whether hold baggage is included in the fare or sold as an extra before you compare ticket prices.
• Look at whether both flights sit on a single ticket, because separate tickets leave you carrying the risk of a missed connection.

• April is the cheapest month in the calendar here, so aim there if your dates can flex.
• Arrange the transfer from Roberts International into Monrovia before you fly.
