Cheap Flights from London to Tallinn

October is the cheapest month on this route, and the shoulder weeks around it are usually calm and well priced. Summer brings long daylight hours to Estonia and the highest demand, while winter is cold with short days, so fares and crowds drop outside the Christmas and New Year stretch. Midweek departures and midweek returns tend to cost less than Friday evenings and Sunday nights, and school holidays push prices up on both ends of the route. If your dates are fixed, book early; if they are flexible, let the price calendar choose for you.

Direct flights are flown by low-cost carriers, among them Ryanair, Easyjet, Jet2, Norwegian and the Wizz Air group, which includes Wizz Air UK, Wizz Air and Wizz Air Malta. Air Baltic and Scandinavian Airlines appear as full-service options, often with a connection through their home hubs rather than a straight run. The difference shows up in the fare: a low-cost ticket usually covers a small cabin bag and little else, with checked luggage, seat choice and airport extras added at checkout, while full-service fares bundle more from the start. Compare the total, not the headline.

Lennart Meri is Tallinn's only airport, and it sits close to the city rather than out in the countryside, so the transfer is short. Buses and trams run between the terminal and the centre through the day, taxis and ride-hailing apps are easy to pick up at the exit, and the ride into town is brief. Because the airport is compact, arrivals and baggage reclaim move quickly, but late-night landings leave you with fewer public transport options, so check the last departure before you book an evening flight. If you are heading beyond Tallinn, sort your onward bus or train before you land.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check which London airport your fare leaves from, since the city's airports sit far apart and the wrong one can ruin your day.
• Confirm what a low-cost ticket includes, because cabin bag size, checked baggage and seat selection usually cost extra.
• If you book a connection on separate tickets, leave a generous gap, since the second airline will not rebook you when the first flight runs late.
• Carry a valid passport or ID card for Estonia and check the entry rules for your nationality before you fly.
• Compare the price calendar before you commit, and aim for October if price matters most.
• Decide between a direct flight and a cheaper connecting one before you start filtering results.
