Cheap flights from London to Salt Lake City

November is the cheapest month for this route, and it usually stays that way if you avoid the Thanksgiving travel days at the end of the month. Winter is ski season in Utah, so fares climb from December through the spring as people fly out to the mountains. Summer school holidays and the run-up to Christmas are the other expensive stretches. Midweek departures from London tend to cost less than Friday or Sunday flights, and early morning transatlantic departures often price lower than afternoon ones. For the lowest fares, book a few months ahead; for November travel, waiting until autumn can still work, but seats on direct services go first.

JetBlue Airways is the low-cost name on the route, and its lowest fares usually come without a checked bag, so read the fare rules before you commit. The rest are full-service carriers: American Airlines, Delta Air Lines and United Airlines fly from their US hubs, while Icelandair, Finnair, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Brussels Airlines, Air Canada and Air Canada Rouge connect through their own bases in Europe and Canada. Air Canada Rouge is the leisure arm of Air Canada, with a lighter cabin than the mainline product. What you get differs by ticket: a checked bag and seat selection may come with a higher fare family and be missing from the cheapest one.

Salt Lake City International is the only airport serving the city, and it sits a short drive from downtown, so the transfer after a long flight is quick. Taxis, rideshares and hotel shuttles are the usual ways in, and public transport links run to the centre if you would rather not take a car. Utah runs on Mountain Time, well behind London, so an evening arrival can feel like the middle of the night, and a light first day helps. If you connect through another US airport, you clear immigration there and may need to collect and recheck your bags before the final leg.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Decide which London airport you leave from, since Heathrow, Gatwick, Luton, Stansted and London City all serve the city and the transfer into town differs.
• Check whether your fare includes a checked bag, especially on the lowest JetBlue fares and leisure tickets.
• If your trip is built from separate tickets, leave a generous buffer for the connection in the United States.
• Confirm your passport and visa or travel authorisation for the United States well before departure.
• Book early for ski season and the winter holidays, when seats to Utah fill up.
• Compare a November departure with the rest of the year if your dates are flexible.
