Cheap flights from Szymany to London

October is the cheapest month on this route, and it falls in the quiet stretch between the summer rush and the winter holidays. Fares stay low through late autumn and winter too, from November into March, while September and the weeks around Christmas cost more. Midweek departures are usually gentler on the wallet than Friday evenings or Sunday returns. If you are flying for the holidays or a school break, book early; for a spontaneous trip in October or November, watching the calendar for a few weeks often pays off.

Three carriers fly this route. Ryanair and Wizz Air Malta are the low-cost pair: you pay for the seat, and bags, seat choice and other extras come on top, so the total can climb quickly. LOT Polish Airlines is the full-service option, with a different fare structure and more folded into the ticket. All three fly non-stop between Mazury and London, so what separates them is the fare rules rather than the routing. Add your baggage to each quote before you compare.

London is served by several airports, London City, Gatwick, Heathrow, Luton and Stansted, and your fare can land at any of them, so check the arrival airport before you book. They sit on different sides of the city: Heathrow and London City are the closest to the centre, Gatwick and Luton are further out, and Stansted serves the north-east. Each has its own rail link, coach service or Underground connection into town, and the trip in varies a lot depending on which one you use. If you land in the evening, check the last connection of the day before you commit, and allow room for luggage on the way in.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Szymany has a single airport, Mazury, so confirm your check-in time and terminal there rather than choosing between airports.
• Check which London airport your fare lands at, since Gatwick, Luton and Stansted sit far from the centre.
• On Ryanair and Wizz Air Malta, price a checked bag and a larger cabin bag into the fare before comparing it with LOT.
• If you book legs on separate tickets, leave a generous gap in case the first flight runs late.
• Carry a passport or ID that meets the entry rules for the United Kingdom.
• Look at the price calendar for October and the winter months, when fares on this route tend to sit lower.
