Cheap flights from London to Paphos

November is the cheapest month to fly this route, and the price calendar covers the whole year, from September round to August, so you can weigh a summer beach week against a quieter autumn break. Summer in Cyprus is hot and busy, and UK school holidays push fares up, while spring and autumn sit between the two. Midweek departures often cost less than weekend ones, and the gap widens around half-term and the Christmas run. If your dates are flexible, start with November and work outwards from there.

Ryanair, Easyjet, Jet2, Wizz Air UK and TUI Airways are the low-cost names on this route, where the fare tends to cover a seat and a small cabin bag only, with everything else added on. British Airways and BA EuroFlyer sell it as full-service, so more comes inside the fare, though the details depend on the ticket you pick. Aegean Airlines and Lufthansa, including Lufthansa City Airlines, are the connecting options rather than nonstop. Direct flights exist here, but not every airline on the list operates them, so read the itinerary before you book.

Paphos International is the only airport serving the city, so there is no wrong airport to land at. It sits outside town, and the way in is by road: a taxi, a pre-booked transfer or a hire car collected at the terminal. If you are heading on to a resort along the coast rather than staying in Paphos itself, sort that transfer before you fly, because the drive runs longer than the hop into town. Late arrivals are easier when a driver is already waiting for you.
