Common questions
Flights to London — FAQs
Which European cities have direct flights to London?
Virtually every major European city has direct services to at least one London airport. Paris, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Dublin, Madrid, Barcelona, Rome, and Lisbon all have multiple daily services. Many Central and Eastern European cities also have regular direct connections.
Are there budget airlines flying into London?
Yes — easyJet, Ryanair, Wizz Air, and Jet2 all operate into London's airports from across Europe. Ryanair primarily uses Stansted; easyJet operates from Gatwick, Luton, and Southend. Factor in the transfer cost from budget airports — Stansted to central London takes around 45–50 minutes by train.
Do I need a visa to fly to London?
EU and EEA citizens no longer receive free movement to the UK. Most EU nationals need an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) from 2025. US and many other nationalities also need an ETA. Check the UK government's entry requirements for your nationality before booking.
When are flights to London cheapest?
January and February see the lowest fares into London. October and November (outside half-term) are good value. The summer months (July–August), Easter, and Christmas are peak pricing periods — particularly from popular leisure routes.
