Cheap flights from London to Pisa

October is the cheapest month on this route, and it is easy to see why: the summer crowds have gone, the Tuscan hills are still warm, and airlines are filling seats rather than selling them at a premium. Spring and early autumn are the pleasant stretches; July and August are the busiest and priciest, and the winter months stay quiet apart from the Christmas and New Year rush. Weekday departures, especially Tuesday to Thursday, usually undercut weekend ones. Book a few weeks ahead for spring and summer; in November and January you can often leave it later. Every month's price sits in the calendar on this page.

Ryanair, Easyjet, Ryanair UK, Wizz Air and Wizz Air UK are the low-cost names you will see most often here, and they are the ones that keep this route affordable. British Airways is the full-service option, and Malta Airlines, Norwegian, Norwegian International and Mokulele Flight Service also turn up in the results. What differs is what sits inside the fare: a low-cost ticket is built from the seat up, with bags and extras added at checkout, while a full-service fare tends to include more from the start. Compare the total, not the headline, and the ranking changes.

Galileo Galilei is the only airport serving Pisa, and it sits close to the city — a short ride from the centre rather than a long transfer. A shuttle link runs to the central station, and local buses and taxis cover the same trip. From Pisa you can reach the rest of Tuscany by train, with Florence and Lucca within easy reach, so plenty of travellers treat the airport as a gateway rather than a final stop. Watch the hour you land: late arrivals mean fewer buses and a taxi becomes the practical choice. If you are travelling straight on, sort your rail ticket before you leave the terminal.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Decide which London airport suits you: City, Gatwick, Heathrow, Luton and Stansted all serve this route, and getting into town differs at each.
• Check the baggage allowance on the low-cost carriers before you compare totals, not just the headline fare.
• If your itinerary mixes carriers, make sure the whole trip is on one ticket, or leave time to collect and recheck bags.
• Carry a valid passport or identity card for Italy and check the entry rules for your nationality before you fly.
• Weigh October against the summer months before you commit, since the same seat costs far less outside peak season.
