Cheap flights from London to Rimini

June is the cheapest month on this route, and the price calendar shows how it sits against the rest of the year. September and October are the shoulder months: the Adriatic is still warm, the crowds have gone and fares have not yet climbed to their summer level. Winter is quieter and connections often replace nonstops, so check what you are actually booking. Fly midweek if your dates are flexible, since weekend departures in summer cost more. Italian public holidays and the mid-August break are the weeks to plan around, and March is the only month with no fares listed here.

Ryanair, Wizz Air, Wizz Air UK and Easyjet are the low-cost carriers on this route. British Airways, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Lufthansa, Lufthansa City Airlines, Austrian and Luxair sit at the full-service end and often sell the trip as a connection through a hub rather than a nonstop. What differs is what the fare includes: low-cost tickets usually cover a small cabin bag and little else, with checked bags and seat choice charged on top, while full-service fares tend to include a hold bag. Compare the total for your dates, not the headline, and check the baggage allowance before you commit.

Rimini is served by a single airport, Miramare, which sits in the coastal district of the same name just outside the city. The transfer into the centre is short, and buses and taxis are the usual ways in; in high summer the seafront road can be slow, so leave a little slack on arrival day. The terminal is small and easy to navigate, which keeps the walk from gate to kerb brief. Because the airport serves the whole Romagna Riviera and not only Rimini, work out how you will reach your final address before you book, as some resorts along the coast are a longer drive than the city itself.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check which London airport your fare leaves from — Gatwick, Heathrow, Luton, Stansted and London City are not interchangeable on the day.
• Confirm whether the ticket is nonstop or a connection, and whether both legs sit on one booking.
• Add a checked bag to any low-cost fare before you compare it with a full-service ticket.
• Check the entry rules for Italy and that your passport has enough validity left.
• Look at the price calendar for your month: June is the cheapest, and March has no fares listed.
