Cheap flights from Newcastle to London

November is the cheapest month on this route, and the fares you see for it are the ones worth planning around. Outside that window, prices move with the school calendar: half-term, Easter and the long summer break push fares up, and the run into Christmas does the same. Midweek flights, Tuesday and Wednesday in particular, tend to cost less than Friday evenings or Sunday nights, when weekend city breaks fill up. Book a few weeks ahead for winter travel and earlier than that for summer weekends, when the direct seats go first.

Easyjet, Jet2 and Norwegian International are the low-cost names on this route, and their one-way fares are the ones to compare first if you travel with hand luggage only. British Airways is the full-service option on the list. KLM Cityhopper, Air France, HOP!, Aer Lingus and Eurowings point to connections through hubs such as Amsterdam, Paris and Dublin rather than a straight hop, and Accesrail pairs a flight with a rail leg, so check how the ground part fits with your flight. Whichever you pick, read what the fare includes before you pay, because baggage, seat choice and changes are where a low-cost ticket and a full-service one really differ.

London gives you a choice of airports, and where you land decides your onward journey. London City is the closest to the centre, sitting in the Docklands with the DLR and Tube a short walk from arrivals. Heathrow lies west of the city and connects by Tube, train and coach, while Gatwick sits south and runs trains into the centre. Luton and Stansted are further out to the north and lean on trains and coaches for the trip in, so allow more time. Check your arrival airport before you plan the last leg: a fare into Stansted can eat more of your day than one into London City, and late arrivals leave you with fewer trains and coaches to choose from.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check which London airport your fare lands at, since they sit in different parts of the city and change your onward journey.
• Newcastle has one airport, so the only airport decision on this route is at the London end.
• On low-cost tickets, add hold baggage and seat selection to the fare before you compare it with a full-service one.
• If your itinerary connects through a hub, make sure both legs sit on one ticket so a missed connection is not your problem.
• Carry photo ID that matches your booking name and check the current entry rules for the United Kingdom.
• Fly midweek and outside school holidays if you want the lower fares this route shows in November.
