Cheap flights from London to Tangier

September is the cheapest month on this route, and it comes with warm sea temperatures and thinner crowds than high summer. Spring and autumn sit in the middle: mild weather in Tangier, moderate fares from London. July and August, plus the Christmas and Easter school holidays, are the expensive stretches, and direct seats go first. Midweek departures, especially Tuesday and Wednesday, usually undercut Friday and Sunday flights. If your plans are flexible, scan the whole month on the price calendar instead of one weekend, and book early for the peak weeks.

Ryanair UK, Ryanair, Easyjet, Wizz Air UK, Wizz Air Malta, Vueling Airlines, Transavia Airlines and Air Arabia Maroc are the low-cost names you will see most often, while Royal Air Maroc is the Moroccan flag carrier and Norwegian International also appears on some itineraries. Low-cost fares are built around hand baggage, so add checked bags and seat selection before you compare totals, and read what a full-service fare includes. Direct flights exist, but many cheap results involve a stop, so check the total journey time and whether the connection sits on one ticket or two.

Tangier is served by Boukhalef airport, the city's own gateway, so you land in Tangier rather than at another Moroccan airport. Plan the last leg before you fly: check whether your arrival time still leaves public transport running into the centre, and if you land late, arrange your transfer in advance instead of hoping for what is waiting at the kerb. Confirm the drop-off point with your driver if your accommodation sits on a narrow street, and keep some local currency for the ride. If your itinerary routes you through another airport, treat that as a separate arrival and leave yourself room between the legs.
