Cheap flights London to Stuttgart

September is the cheapest month on this route, and it also sits in the sweet spot between the summer rush and the cold months, when Stuttgart is pleasant to walk around. Late spring and early autumn usually price better than the school holidays, when families fill both the London departures and the return legs. Midweek flights, especially Tuesday and Wednesday, tend to cost less than Friday evenings and Sunday nights. Book a few weeks ahead in the shoulder months; for Christmas, Easter and the summer break, earlier is safer. Watch UK half-terms and German public holidays, which push fares up at both ends of the route.

Low-cost carriers do most of the work here: Easyjet, Eurowings, Vueling Airlines, Wizz Air UK and Wizz Air all sell seats on this route, usually with a small personal item included and everything else priced on top. Full-service names — KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Swiss, Lufthansa City Airlines, LOT Polish Airlines and Edelweiss Air — tend to sell connections through their hubs alongside direct seats, and their fares more often include a cabin bag or a checked allowance. Direct flights exist on the route, so filter for them if you would rather not change planes. Compare the total with bags added, not the headline fare.

Stuttgart Airport is the only airport serving the city, and it lies outside the centre, so build in time for the transfer rather than expecting to walk out of arrivals into town. Local trains and buses connect the terminal with the city, and taxis wait outside if you land late or travel with a lot of luggage. If your trip continues into the surrounding region, the airport is the natural gateway. Check the last train or bus of the day against your landing time, and remember that a missed connection on a separate ticket is yours to sort out.

Country facts: Wikidata

• London has five airports, so confirm which one your fare leaves from before you plan the journey across town.
• On a low-cost ticket, add the cabin and checked bags you actually need and compare the total rather than the headline fare.
• If your itinerary connects instead of flying direct, keep both legs on one ticket so a delay does not leave you stranded.
• Carry a valid passport or identity card for Germany and check the entry rules that apply to you before you fly.
• Weigh September against the school-holiday months, because the gap in fares on this route can be wide.
• Check your arrival time at Stuttgart Airport against the last train or bus into the city.
