Cheap flights from London to Palma de Mallorca

October is the cheapest month on this route, and it is also when the island quietens down after the summer rush. Fares climb through July and August, when school holidays push demand up, and again around Christmas and Easter, when UK travellers head south for sun and Spanish families fly the other way. Late spring and early autumn are the calmer stretch, with warm sea, thinner crowds and seats that have not yet been priced for peak season. Midweek departures from Gatwick, Luton and Stansted usually cost less than Friday or Sunday flights, and booking a few months ahead beats leaving it to the last fortnight.

Almost every airline on this route is a low-cost carrier: Ryanair and Ryanair UK, Wizz Air UK and Wizz Air Malta, Easyjet and EasyJet Europe, Jet2 and Vueling Airlines all fly London to Palma, and TUI Airways sells seats alongside its holiday packages. Mokulele Flight Service also appears among the carriers serving the route. Flights are direct, so the difference between them is rarely the journey itself, it is what comes with the ticket. Low-cost fares keep the base price down and charge separately for extras, while package-style bookings from TUI bundle transfers and accommodation. Compare the total, not the headline.

Every flight on this route lands at Palma de Mallorca Airport, a short drive east of the city centre along the bay. A bus runs from the terminal into the middle of Palma, and taxis wait outside arrivals for the same trip. If you are heading straight to a resort along the coast, shuttle buses and private transfers meet the main arrivals, and that journey can take a good deal longer than the run into the city. Watch the clock when you land, because Palma's airport gets busy on summer weekends and baggage reclaim can be the slowest part of the trip.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check which London airport you are flying from, since Gatwick, Heathrow, Luton, Stansted and London City all serve Palma and each one changes your journey to the terminal.
• Look at what the fare includes before you compare, because low-cost tickets and package fares bundle very different things.
• Leave a generous gap if you book legs on separate tickets, as a missed connection is yours to sort out.
• Carry valid documents for Spain and check the entry rules that apply to you before departure.
• Book early for the summer and look at October if your dates are flexible and you want the lowest fares.
