Cheap flights from London to Yerevan

December is the cheapest month on this route, so it is the one to watch if your dates are flexible. Spring and autumn sit in the middle, while the summer months and the days around the New Year are the busiest and the priciest. Midweek departures usually give you more choice of fares than weekend ones. Armenian Christmas and the New Year holidays fill planes in early January, so book those dates well ahead. For the rest of the year, booking a few weeks out is usually enough.

The carriers on this route split into two groups. Low-cost names such as Wizz Air UK, Easyjet, Wizz Air, Wizz Air Malta, FLYONE and Pegasus keep the base fare low and charge for anything beyond a small cabin bag, so read the baggage rules for the exact fare you pick. Full-service carriers such as LOT Polish Airlines, Air France, Aegean Airlines and Helvetic Airways usually bundle more into the ticket and often route you through a hub, which means a connection and a longer journey. Direct service does exist between London and Yerevan, so filter for non-stop if your priority is time rather than a cheaper fare.

Yerevan is served by Zvartnots International, the country's main gateway and the airport almost every flight into Armenia uses. It sits outside the city, so build in a road transfer at the end of your journey; taxis and buses are the usual ways in, and a pre-booked transfer or a ride-hailing app saves haggling after a long flight. Arrivals can be slow when several planes land together, so keep your onward plans loose. If you are connecting through another city, check whether your bags are checked through to Yerevan or whether you collect them at the transfer airport, and that decides how much time you need between flights.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check which London airport your fare leaves from, since Gatwick, Heathrow, Luton, Stansted and London City are not interchangeable on the day.
• On low-cost tickets from Wizz Air, Easyjet or Pegasus, confirm what the cabin bag allowance actually covers before you pay.
• If your itinerary mixes airlines or separate tickets, leave a generous gap between the legs.
• Confirm the entry rules for Armenia and that your passport has enough validity left for the trip.
• Decide whether you want a non-stop flight or are happy to connect through a European hub.
• Book early for December travel and for the New Year period, when seats go quickly.
