Cheap flights from London to Tromso

March is the cheapest month for this route, and it falls at the end of the northern lights season, when Tromso still has snow and long dark evenings. Fares across the rest of the year are tracked month by month, from September through August, so you can see how winter, spring and the midnight sun period compare. Winter weekends and the Christmas and New Year weeks fill up early, and Norwegian school holidays push prices up too. If your dates are flexible, midweek departures from London and a Tuesday or Wednesday return usually cost less than a Friday or Sunday flight. Book a few months ahead for winter travel.

Several carriers fly this route. Norwegian, Easyjet, Wizz Air UK and its Wizz Air and Wizz Air Malta sister brands, and Eurowings are the low-cost options, where the fare usually covers a cabin bag and you pay extra for a checked bag or a seat. British Airways, Scandinavian Airlines and LOT Polish Airlines are the full-service names, where a checked bag is more often included. Norwegian International also appears in the mix. Direct seats exist, but not every airline flies nonstop, so check whether your itinerary connects before you compare fares. Baggage rules and change fees differ sharply between the two groups.

All flights land at Tromso/Langnes, the only airport serving the city, on the same island as the centre. The terminal sits close to town, so the transfer is short, with a local bus and taxis running to the centre, and several hotels within walking distance of the main street. In winter, allow extra time, because snow, ice and strong wind can slow the drive and sometimes delay a landing. Car rental desks sit in the arrivals hall if you plan to drive out to the fjords, and the baggage hall is small enough to clear quickly. Check the bus times if you land late, since services thin out after the evening rush.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check which London airport your fare leaves from, since Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton and London City are far apart.
• Compare a nonstop ticket with a connecting one before you book, because the cheaper fare is often the longer journey.
• Add a checked bag to a low-cost fare, where the basic ticket usually covers a cabin bag only.
• Check passport and entry rules for Norway, and make sure your passport stays valid well beyond your travel dates.
• If you book the two legs on separate tickets, leave a long gap between them and collect your bags in between.
• Fly in March for the lowest fares, and book earlier if you want a winter trip during the northern lights season.
