Cheap flights from Urumqi to London

Book early on a route with connections, because the cheapest seats on long-haul legs can disappear well before departure. October shows the lowest fares among the months with prices, while November, December, January, February, March, May and July also have listed fares. December and January sit around school holidays and Christmas, so compare those months carefully if your dates are flexible. Midweek departures can suit connection timing, but check the calendar rather than assuming one pattern.

The list runs from large network carriers to smaller operators, and not every fare includes the same items. Some tickets are branded as low-cost and some as full-service, but the names alone do not settle that, so check baggage and change rules for each. China Southern Airlines, China Eastern Airlines, Shanghai Airlines, Shenzhen Airlines, Shandong Airlines and Fuzhou Airlines are Chinese carriers; Air Astana and FlyArystan are Central Asian; West Air China and Sky Jet Aviation Ltd also appear. With no direct flights, each itinerary connects through at least one hub, and the connection airport and ticket conditions can differ by carrier.

You could land at any of London's five listed airports, so check the code on your ticket before you travel. London City sits closest to the centre, Heathrow is to the west, Gatwick to the south, and Luton and Stansted are further out to the north and northeast. Trains, Underground lines, coaches and taxis cover the last leg, but journey times vary widely and a late arrival can mean fewer options. If your connection or return uses a different airport, allow time for the cross-London transfer and read the terminal details carefully.
