Cheap Flights London to Salalah

Start your search early enough to compare months, because the price calendar here runs from September through May. April is the cheapest month, and the months around it – March and May – are also in the priced window. The summer months are missing from the calendar, so if you're travelling then, expect higher fares and check with airlines directly. For the lowest fare, aim for April and be flexible with your departure day of the week.

Easyjet is the low-cost carrier here, and its connecting fares are often the cheapest, but the base price excludes checked bags and seat choice. The full-service options – Qatar Airways, Gulf Air, Turkish Airlines, Emirates, and British Airways – all fly via their respective hubs, so you'll have a proper layover with meals and checked luggage included in the fare. Air Arabia, Aer Lingus, KLM Cityhopper, and Ethiopian Airlines also serve the route, each with its own connection point and service style.

Arriving in Salalah often happens late in the day, since most connections from Europe land in the evening. The airport is a single terminal on the edge of the city, so the ride into the centre is short – a taxi or a pre-booked car is the way to go. There's no rail link, and public buses are infrequent, so don't rely on them if you land after dark. Have your hotel's address written down, and agree on the fare before you start the journey. The airport itself is small, so queues at immigration move quickly, but the taxi area can be chaotic with several drivers offering rides. Keep some cash for the fare, and check that the driver uses the meter or you settle on a fixed price.

• Confirm which London airport you depart from – the five options have different transfer times and airline networks.
• If your connection is on separate tickets, allow enough time and verify whether you need a transit visa.
• For Oman, you'll need a visa or e-visa – check the entry requirements before you fly.
