Cheap flights from London to Rennes

Late November and early January, the shoulder weeks around December, hold the lowest fares. December itself is the cheapest month for London to Rennes, with lighter demand outside the Christmas rush. Midweek departures, Tuesday to Thursday, cost less than weekend flights. Booking ahead, rather than waiting until the last weeks, keeps the fare down.

Most departures on this route connect somewhere, so check where your layover sits. Air France and KLM route through Paris and Amsterdam, adding a transfer but including checked baggage and meals. Easyjet and Jet2 cover the direct services, charging extra for bags and seat selection. Wizz Air UK, Air Baltic, Aer Lingus and Brussels Airlines connect through their own bases, so compare layover times before you book.

Rennes St Jacques is a small airport, and that works in your favour. Security and baggage claim move quickly because there is little queueing even at peak times. The airport sits just outside the city, a short ride to the centre by bus or taxi. Watch the last bus times if you land late, because the service thins out in the evening.

• Check whether your connection is on one ticket or two separate bookings, because a missed link is your problem on separate tickets.
• Confirm which London airport you depart from, since this route uses five of them.
• Read the baggage allowance on low-cost carriers before you pay, as bags are rarely included.
• Verify that your connection time is long enough for passport control and a terminal change.
• Make sure your passport is valid for travel to France, a requirement for UK citizens entering the EU.
