Cheap flights from London to Mytilini

Daylight stretches well into the evening in Greece from late spring, and the summer season that follows is when Mytilini is geared for visitors. Fares bottom out in April, ahead of that run, and the calendar here covers October to June, so the deepest summer is not on the comparison at all. Midweek departures usually undercut Fridays and Sundays, the weeks around Christmas and the school holidays cost more, and booking a couple of months out generally beats hunting at the last minute.

What you feel first is what the fare covers: the low-cost names, Easyjet, Wizz Air UK and Jet2, sell lean base tickets and treat checked baggage and seat selection as paid extras, while Lufthansa, Swiss, Aegean Airlines and Air Baltic fold more into the ticket and leave you fewer decisions at check-in. Helvetic Airways, Lufthansa City Airlines and Sky Express are the regional operators that fill out the list, and with ten carriers on the route the mix spans nonstop and connecting options, so filter by stops before you weigh up the total.

Arrange the last stretch before you land: Odysseas Elytis is the island's only airport, a short drive outside Mytilini town, and the usual ways in are taxi or the local bus that ties into arriving flights. If you plan to travel beyond the town, hire a car at the terminal and reserve it before you fly, since walk-in choice can run thin once the season is under way. The terminal itself is compact, so give the return journey a little slack and have documents to hand before you join the queue.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check what a checked bag adds to an Easyjet, Wizz Air UK or Jet2 fare, because the base price on the low-cost carriers usually leaves it out.
• You can leave from five different London airports, so weigh the trip to London City, Gatwick, Heathrow, Luton or Stansted against the fare you are quoted.
• Book any connecting itinerary as a single ticket, so a late first leg leaves the rebooking with the airline rather than with you.
• Look up the entry documents Greece currently asks of United Kingdom passport holders, including how much validity the passport needs.
• Shift your dates into April where the calendar allows, since that is the low month in the fare data on this route.
