Route on the map
When to fly
Book roughly eight weeks ahead to secure reasonable fares before prices rise closer to departure dates. January stands out as the lowest-cost period since school terms run and holiday demand drops elsewhere in Europe. Spring through autumn brings steadier schedules with fewer weather disruptions across both countries. Weekday departures typically carry lighter loads than Friday or Sunday slots, making midweek options preferable if your schedule allows flexibility.
Airlines and what to expect
Budget carriers like Ryanair, Easyjet, Wizz Air and Malta Air keep base fares low while charging separately for seat selection, checked luggage, and onboard refreshments. Full-service operators such as British Airways include meals, entertainment systems and baggage allowances in standard tickets. Regional players including Sky Express, Norwegian and Jet2 offer mixed approaches where some services bundle extras while others charge individually. Each airline operates specific terminals or flight patterns within the London network.
Arriving — London
Getting into central London depends heavily on which airport your flight lands at rather than any single universal option. Heathrow connects via express rail services that reach Paddington in under half an hour, while Gatwick offers similar southbound alternatives. Smaller airports like Luton and Stansted require coach transfers or taxi journeys through heavier traffic conditions. City Airport sits closest to commercial districts but handles fewer carriers overall.
