Cheap flights from London to Mykonos

September is the cheapest month on this route, and it lands just after the peak of the Greek island season. July and August are the busy stretch, when fares and demand both climb; the months on either side trade a little weather for lower fares. Midweek departures, Tuesday and Wednesday especially, tend to cost less than Friday and Sunday, when weekend trips overlap. For summer travel, book a few months ahead so you are choosing from the whole timetable rather than the leftovers. UK school holidays push London fares up whatever the month, so compare a week either side before you commit.

Easyjet and Wizz Air UK are the low-cost names you will see most here, with Wizz Air Malta appearing on some fares too. Aegean Airlines and British Airways are the full-service options, and Sky Express, Swiss, Air Baltic, Helvetic Airways and Hahn Air Systems fill out the rest of the mix, often on itineraries that connect rather than fly straight through. Direct flights do run from London to Mykonos, so filter for them if a stopover is not for you. What you get differs: a low-cost fare and a full-service fare rarely cover the same bag, seat or flexibility, so read what each ticket includes before you compare totals.

Mykonos has one airport, so every flight into the island lands at the same place, and how long you spend getting to your room depends on which part of the island you booked. Taxis, the local bus and pre-booked transfers are the usual ways into town; in high season the taxi queue can outlast the drive, so a transfer arranged ahead saves time. Arriving late? Check that your accommodation can still check you in and that your transfer runs at that hour. A small airport means bags come out quickly, but do not count on much in the way of shops or food once you are through. Your return flight leaves from the same airport, so plan the trip back into town with the same care.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check which London airport your fare leaves from, because Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton and London City are not interchangeable.
• On a low-cost ticket, confirm what the fare includes for bags before you add extras.
• If your itinerary connects, keep the legs on one ticket so a delay does not leave you stranded.
• Carry a valid passport and check the entry rules for Greece before you fly.
• Book early for July and August, and look at September if you want the lighter fares.
• Allow time for the transfer from Mykonos airport to your accommodation, especially on a late arrival.
