Book a flight to a London location

Which European cities have direct flights to London?

Are there budget airlines flying into London?

There are various budget airline options to choose from, including easyJet, Ryanair, Wizz Air, and Jet2 which all provide flights into London's airports from across Europe. Ryanair primarily uses Stansted; easyJet operates from Gatwick, Luton, and Southend. It’s worth factoring in the transfer cost from budget airports, as Stansted to central London takes around 45–50 minutes by train. Bear in mind European locations such as Brussels, Amsterdam and Paris offer Eurostar as an affordable alternative, with more flexibility regarding luggage, and overall comfort.

Do I need a visa to fly to London?
