FAQs for booking flights from London to Osaka

  • How can I get from Osaka airports to the centre of the city?

    From Kobe Airport, you can get the Portliner local train to Sannomiya station, where you can change for your onward journey to Osaka. From Itami Airport, you can get the monorail to Senri-Chuo, where you can continue your journey using the Kita-Osaka Kyuko Railway. If you’re leaving from Kansai Airport, you can catch the Haruka Express, which stops in the centre of the city and is a very convenient way to complete your journey.

  • Are there direct flights that connect me from London airports to Osaka airports?

    Unfortunately, there are no direct flights that you can catch between London airports and airports in Osaka. However, that doesn’t mean there aren’t great options available for you that require one or more changes. You can fly from London Heathrow Airport, London Gatwick Airport or London City Airport with one change, which is often at Munich Airport (MUC), Shanghai Airport (PVG) or Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS) respectively.

  • Can I fast track through security?

    Yes, you can make sure you don’t waste time at the security gates if you are travelling from London Heathrow Airport or London Gatwick Airport. Available at all terminals at these two airports, you can expect to pay around £12.50 and £5 respectively for this benefit. Unfortunately, London City Airport does not offer a fast-track service, unless you are a first-class passenger.

  • Are there hotels at the airports I can stay in?

    If you have an early flight, you can certainly stay at a hotel to make your trip to the airport easier in the morning. At Heathrow, if you were to fly with Lufthansa, you would leave from Terminal 2, so you could stay at a hotel such as Aerotel London Heathrow, which is very conveniently located. A flight from Gatwick Airport, with China Eastern for example, departs from the North Terminal, so a stay at the Travelodge would be easy for your onwards trip; whereas the ibis Budget is very close (around 0.4 miles) to London City Airport.

  • Which airlines have the shortest stopovers from London to Osaka?

    If you’re worried about lengthy stopovers in connecting cities there are a few airlines with stopovers under 2 hours.

Asiana Airlines, ANA, British Airways and China Eastern also provide flights with connections lasting between 1h 50min – 2 hours.

  • Is a visa required for flights from London to Osaka?

  • Are there any attractions at Osaka Airports?

    If you have some time to kill after arriving in Osaka the Sky View Observation Hall is a great place to pass it. This outdoor deck offers a panoramic view of landings and takeoffs, plus there’s a playground where kids can amuse themselves in-between. Sky Shuttle Bus provides convenient connections between the Passenger Terminal Building and the Observation Deck.

  • What nearby cities can I reach from Osaka airports?

  • What is KAYAK's "flexible dates" feature and why should I care when looking for a flight from London to Osaka?

KAYAK’s top tips for finding a cheap flight from London to Osaka

  • There are 3 airports in London that offer fast flights to Osaka, these being London Heathrow Airport (LHR), London Gatwick Airport (LGW) and London City Airport (LCY). These serve the west, south and east of the city respectively, which may help you determine which is most convenient for you to leave from.
  • London Heathrow Airport and London City Airport are easily reached using London’s transport system, which includes buses, trains and taxis. London Gatwick is a little further afield, but it can be reached via the Gatwick Express, which takes about 30min and leaves every 15min or so.
  • Osaka is served by 3 main airports, Osaka Itami Airport (ITM), Osaka Kansai International Airport (KIX) and Kobe International Airport (UKB). These can be found to the north, east and west of the city respectively, should you want to make your onward journey more convenient.
  • Itami Airport is a good airport to land at to access Osaka city centre and also for onward journeys to cities such as Kyoto, which is about a 50min drive away.
  • Before your long flight to Japan, you can relax at Heathrow Airport or Gatwick Airport, which both offer lounges such as the Aspire lounge, where from as little as £25 per person, you can shower and enjoy complimentary drinks. However, London City Airport does not offer this benefit unless you’re a first-class passenger.
  • Long flights produce significant amounts of carbon dioxide and a few airlines offer flights with a reduced carbon footprint from London to Osaka. British Airways flights decrease CO2 output by 56% and Japan Airlines departures offer 53% reductions in carbon emissions. ANA is another airline that lowers emissions by more than 50% over the industry standard on this route.
  • Passengers who prefer to park & fly can take advantage of convenient parking facilities and rates at London airports. London Heathrow offers a wide range of options including Short Stay and Business parking with free cancellation up to 2 hours before your scheduled booking.

The beefsteak on the lunch menu was excellent! I usually do not eat airplane food. I loved it.

The beefsteak on the lunch menu was excellent! I usually do not eat airplane food. I loved it.

Flight was too cold. I wore a regular cotton tee and it wasn’t enough. It was a night time flight so I would have thought a blanket would be provided to passengers. A 4 hour flight and no options for a meal? I flew Asiana the next day from Seoul to Manilla. Same duration, 4 hours. They give everyone a pillow and blanket and serve a meal. Why is United so cheap and holding back meals and amenities? Also, they promote too much gay stuff and DEI in their advertisements. Please be mindful of other beliefs and don’t shove your gay ideology down my throat.

Staff always with a smile and very helpful with my mom who has mobility issues.

It was amazing. I was not expecting the phenomenal customer service Asiana provides.

It was all perfect and very pleasant for such long flights

The seats felt very small. We were supplied with pillows and blankets, which was nice. Lots of noise from the bathroom, plus exterior noise. Made it hard to hear the entertainment system, even using my own noise-cancelling headphones. The food was really bad. I generally request a vegetarian meal and one was supplied, but the pasta was cold and hard and there was nothing pleasant about it. Two meals were served on this flight; one was a repeat of the meal I had had on the flight immediately preceding this one, which was bad enough I didn't even try it. Drinks were very limited. All I wanted was water, and on a 10.5 hour flight, I was given 3 cups of about 3 ounces each.

We took business class, It was comfortable and I was able to sleep.

Everything was perfect. A flight attendant even brought me snacks after I declined food due to my desire to force myself to follow the destination time zone.

Only process that my luggage didn’t make it to my destination because of short connection but I understand

Short staffs, I ask stewardess to bring me cognac twice during dinner but they didn't bring it!

Flight was delayed at the last minute for six hours. Instead of delaying it to a normal hour, they moved it to 10 pm to essentially make it a redeye. There was no compensation or benefit offered for this inconvenience. Once on the plane, Inpaid for WiFi twice with both times it not working because of a “weak WiFi signal”, according to the flight attendants. They also chose the farther possible gates in both airports from the entrance/exit, even though they were one of the few active flights left so late in the evening. Overall it was pretty horrible.

I had high expectations but met with a below average experience. I hope the Airline will take a notice and improve.

Special request meals are really below average. Vegetarian options are very limited if you didn't prebook.

Everything was fine and I have no complaints or things to note.

The flight was delayed for 30 mins. The overall experience was good.

Highly impressive. On time. Smooth and fast boarding and disembarkment. Really great service

It was okay overall but the food was very, very bad.

Fast boarding flight on time boarded plane back to front instead of stupid zone groups like US airlines do...

Baggage delayed for 2 days and still chasing for reimbursement of basis items. Very horrible customer care service.

Wow very impressed by the quality and attentiveness of service of China Southern. Lived the blankets! Will definitely fly with them again. Despite language barriers, a few attendants know enough English to understand our rudimentary Mandarin and respond to basic questions. Although they don’t explain the beverage and meal service on the website or ticketing documents, they offered regular beverage cart and snacks during the beginning hours and end hours of the long, transoceanic flight. A full meal at the beginning and end of the flight as well, and a midflight small sandwich (dinner roll sized) but we weren’t hungry and didn’t try that one. The expectation is that every sleeps during the middle of the flight. We were on a “redeye” departure from LAX with a morning arrival in China, so I don’t know if this service pattern is the same for other flights. The domestic flight we took from Guangzhou to Harbin offered conventional refreshments and meals like a US flight service. Note that they didn’t offer diet sodas. If you like to stay hydrated, I recommend bringing plenty of your own. It is served in small cups like any other drink. You can ask for a bottle but they’re tiny - about 6 ounces.

China Southern was not the problem. I booked my flight through Kayak and also received a booking reference and alert details regarding departure time and gate numbers… however Kayak NEVER actually booked my flight! We were stranded at the airport without a flight for a long awaited holiday!

The connection between LA and Atlanta was too much stress

Terrible boarding experience,,food is very poor that I I . Never going book this airline again.

The crew were kind, patient and responsive. The service was excellent, even though we travelled the cheapest economy class. We arrived at our destination 40 min early, which for a 15+ hour flight is a great bonus. The boarding seemed a bit "loose", but got us boarded on time, and the plane was off exactly @ 0:30 hrs.

The airport didn‘t give me the ticket. I called customer service to ask for a refund but they kept giving me a perfunctory response and refused to refund me.

The flight was delayed hours and most flights from CS are always delayed. Plane was efficient and got us home but not the best food and no entertainment system at all.

Not good - chair back could not move back for premium economy. Not worth the price

The back of the chair - premium economy could not move back - not worth the price

It was okay. Boarding the staff made you feel rushed like we were late or something

Super surprised with the entire experience. Business class is incredible. Flight attendants around the world could learn customer service from these people. Simply fabulous experience all the way around.

Pillow and blanket are dirty. My son got multiple bites during the flight

Flight was on time. My group paid for seat’s so that us four can be seated next to each other. We all got separated. We all got middle seats, which made it more difficult to be able to get up and stretch or use the restroom. We tried talking to the employees at China Eastern and they were of no help. We will not be taking this flight or recommend this route to others in the future. Also I will be contacting customer service on how I can get our money back for paying for assigned seats.

China eastern was fantastic. I had read so many bad reviews that had made me nervous. However, I found that the flight attendant’s, and customer service check in etc. etc. was excellent. I had no problems. I would fly with them again!

Excellent! I had read some negative reviews but I found out that it was not all was not true! The staff was courteous and helpful. The flight take off and landing was nice & easy. The food was good! I asked for a second and I got it easily and without an attitude! All was wonderful!

Excellent experience however older aeroplanes used by China Eastern Airlines.

The crew were excellent, service amazing, blankets and pillow good, cabin temperature perfect, the flight on time, food was unusual selection however plentiful, price for tickets unbeatable through Kayak. Older aeroplanes used by China Eastern was the only down side.

Delay in off-boarding due to customs at SFO... pilot announcement should have come earlier so passengers don't clog aisles.

Better good than most, if not all European airlines. If you’re stuck in an economy seat anyways, China Eastern is a good choice because of shorter flight time, being able to overfly Russia

The temperature of the plane cabin is too hot. Sweat and uncomfortable. Also my food tray was broken down drinks fall off

Communication between the captain/crew and the passengers needs to be improved.

Food and service are good. Bathroom was lack of lotions and cleaning. That should be improved.

Food & service very good next I will pick up again

Chinese flight attendants didn't speak english well. They didn't care enough to remember that I (east asian who isn't Chinese) wasn't Chinese and spoke English. Announcement in english on board was poor and I find it very difficult to understand what was announced. Also, a cabin bag allows only 5kg!

Everything was not satisfactory - the flight was delayed, staffs were ok but they didn't speak English well. I am from east Asia (not Chinese) and they didn't care enough to remember that I wasn't Chinese but persistently spoke chinese to me. The flight announcement in english wasn't clear to understand.

I wish I had been able to choose a vegetarian meal. Crew friendly and helpful. Seat was ok. All quite efficient and pleasant. Would recommend for inner China travel for sure.

The flight is not bad, but the Business Lounge is not big enough for the quantity of people they accept and there is a limited options for food and beverages.

It was simply bad and on top of that my luggage hasn't been delivered until now. They can't even localize it which is just unacceptable when they are supposed to scan the bar code they put when we check in

We bought premium Economy, thinking it would be more comfortable, but the seat is so narrow ,that my legs and feet are swollen , I can't wear shoes !
