FAQs - booking United Kingdom flights

  • Where are the main airports in the United Kingdom?

    The most well-known international airports in the UK are in London – Heathrow, Gatwick, London City Airport and Stansted Airport, as well as the perhaps lesser-known Luton Airport. The other major UK cities and those in other UK countries also have their own airports, so you can land in virtually any region. Glasgow and Edinburgh have two main Scottish airports, with Belfast the home of the main Northern Ireland one. Back in England you can land in Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds or Newcastle, among others.

  • How can I reach Manchester city centre if I land at Manchester Airport (MAN)?

    Passengers landing at Manchester Airport have plenty of convenient transport options to reach the city centre. You can take the Metrolink tram from the airport train station, which is connected to the Arrivals terminals by moving walkway systems. You will also find taxis located outside the terminals.

  • What major events are worth flying to the United Kingdom for?

    The UK offers several annual festivals and events that are world-famous tourist attractions. Music lovers flock to the Glastonbury and Reading Festivals each year, and tennis fans have Wimbledon to look forward to. Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park is worth visiting in the Northern Hemisphere winter, and London’s New Year’s Eve fireworks are something to behold.

  • Where should I fly to if I want to visit the Isle of Skye?

    If you want to visit the Isle of Skye in Scotland’s Outer Hebrides, you can fly to Inverness Airport (INV) and reach Skye by car, via the Skye bridge, in around 2h 30min. You can also fly to major Scottish Airports, such as Edinburgh (EDI) or Glasgow (GLA). From both these cities, you can drive to Skye in around 5h. Flying to larger airports, like GLA and EDI, may save you money and allow you to fly direct from other UK airports.

  • How much time should I budget to travel into London from its three main airports?

    It’s pretty convenient getting to the centre of London from any of its airports. Heathrow is the closest, and the easiest way to travel to central London is to take the Heathrow Express, which will get you there in about 15min. From London Gatwick, you can catch a Southern Service train that leaves every 15min to London Victoria Station. If you’ve landed at Stansted Airport, the Stansted Express gets you to London in about 50min.

  • Do I need a visa for flights to the United Kingdom?

    UK passengers on flights to the United Kingdom do not need to have a visa to travel within the UK. Although you do not need a passport for visiting other parts of the UK, including Scotland, Ireland, and Wales, most travellers take their passport to use as ID when checking in at the airport.

  • What are the closest airports to the UK’s coastal resorts?

    Southampton Airport is well-placed for you to reach all the seaside resorts on the south coast of England, most notably the hugely popular Brighton and Hove area. The other desirable coastal region in the country is Blackpool, with Manchester Airport and Liverpool John Lennon Airport the closest. To reach the Cornwall coast you could land at Exeter or Bristol airports, but public transport from Heathrow will get you there quicker, making it the best option.

  • Which is the best airport for visiting the Lake District?

    The Lake District is located in the north of England and is close to several major airports, including Manchester, Newcastle International Airport (NCL), and Liverpool John Lennon Airport (LPL). While all these airports are located around 1h 30min from the Lake District by car, you will find Manchester the most convenient if you are relying on public transport to reach rural areas.

  • Are direct flights available from London to other parts of the UK?

    You can find a range of direct flights to the United Kingdom from London airports. British Airways offers direct flights between London Heathrow and Manchester. You can also fly direct from London Stansted (STN) to Edinburgh Airport with Ryanair and from London Luton (LTN) to Glasgow with EasyJet.

  • Can you fly direct between Northern Ireland and Wales?

    Direct flights are available between Belfast International Airport (BFS), Northern Ireland, and Cardiff Airport (CWL) in Wales with Ryanair, British Airways, and Aer Lingus. These flights take around 1h 15min.

  • How long is the flight to the United Kingdom?

    An average direct flight from the United Kingdom to the United Kingdom takes 1h 25m, covering a distance of 300 miles. The most popular route is London - Edinburgh with an average flight time of 1h 25m.

  • What is the cheapest flight to the United Kingdom?

    The cheapest ticket to the United Kingdom from the United Kingdom found in the last 72 hours was £11 one-way, and £31 round-trip. The most popular route is London Heathrow to Edinburgh Turnhouse and the cheapest round-trip airline ticket found on this route in the last 72 hours was £65.

  • Which airlines fly to the United Kingdom?

    British Airways, easyJet & Qatar Airways fly the most frequently from the United Kingdom to the United Kingdom.

  • What are the most popular destinations in the United Kingdom?

    The next most popular destinations are Belfast (22%) and Edinburgh (19%). Searches for flights to Glasgow (8%), to Manchester (3%) and to Aberdeen (3%) are also popular.

  • How does KAYAK’s flight Price Forecast tool help me choose the right time to buy?

    KAYAK’s flight Price Forecast tool uses historical data to determine whether the price for a given destination and date is likely to change within 7 days, so travellers know whether to wait or book now.

Top tips for finding cheap flights to the United Kingdom

  • Enter your preferred departure airport and travel dates into the search form above to unlock the latest United Kingdom flight deals.
  • To be centrally located when you land in the United Kingdom, choose Manchester Airport as your destination – while London is the capital it’s located in the south of England.
  • London is the main travel hub for visiting southern England. From London, you can get to most southern cities, including Southampton (1h 25min), Bristol (1h 40min), and Birmingham (1h 20min), by train.
  • When flying in from the Southern Hemisphere on holiday, remember that the climate can be pretty inclement in winter, with the summer months being from around June to August.
  • Passengers who want to visit the north of Scotland, or travel to Orkney or Shetland, can fly to Aberdeen Airport (ABZ). Aberdeen has a range of direct flights from London available with EasyJet and British Airways. From Aberdeen, you will find transport links to northern areas, like Thurso and Wick, as well as ferries to the northern isles.
  • If you prefer to hire a car from or to the airport, all major airports in the UK host a selection of car hire company kiosks in their Arrivals halls. All UK international airports have advanced modern facilities for passengers with hidden disabilities and limited mobility, including personal assistance from the terminal entrance to your seat on the plane.
  • If you want to stay overnight at the terminal after flights to the United Kingdom, most London airports have convenient on-site hotels. For instance, if you land at London Heathrow (LHR), you can stay at the Hilton at T4 or the Sofitel at T5. Meanwhile, Gatwick (LGW) also has a Hilton Hotel located at its North Terminal.
  • When you want to fly to London, consider taking an indirect flight that travels via one of the other UK cities, as these can often be more cost-effective.
  • If you’re doing some exploring, save money on domestic flights in the UK by booking with the budget airlines like Wizz Air, easyJet and Ryanair.
  • The UK requires children under 12 to travel in car seats when you hire a car from the airport, which you can arrange as a bookable extra.

Everything! Not sure if there's really anything that could make it any better

Everything! Not sure if there's really anything that could make it any better

Very quick trip from Southampton to Edinburgh Arrival a long way from baggage and up 3flights of stairs no lifts or escalators

Cons: "The flight was cancelled and we were asked to leave the departures lounge. There were no Logan Air ground staff actually working so we relied in the customer services desk at the airport to give us direction on what to do, and we were told that we would be eligible for compensation. I have now been told ( almost 2 months later) that the flight was only delayed and not cancelled so we are not getting a compensation payout to cover the huge additional cost I had to spend to fly another airline to get me to Aberdeen. Awful customer service, unreliable flights"

Not great! Rude staff in London and the worse baggage reclaim I’ve ever seen. Great staff in flight but doubt I’ll fly with them again

You booked my 7 year old son to sit on his own without his mum and dad in s separate row between two unfriendly adult strangers. The plane was disgusting and dirty, aisles and everywhere sticky. The lounge waiting area was filthy carpet and had insufficient seats so we had to sit on it to wait for 35 minutes and my 7 year old sone played on this filthy lounge carpet. The outside of the plane appeared clean. The pilot was helpful with the route and what to expect weather etc.

Comfort isn’t a word one uses on economy airlines! Boarding was okay, delayed but okay, the flight was good, quick and time was made up.

The seat leg room seemed much tighter on the way home My cheese toasty wasn’t that hot - didn’t realise till half eaten

With stairs on a rainy tarmac, EasyJet flights are ok for younger travelers with backpack only. Seniors with mobility issues find it challenging 😰. However, the crew and disability assistance folks at both ends eased that discomfort as much as possible for their various roles. Kudos to airport and EasyJet employees for their kind service.

The flight boarded a little late but made up the time in flight - much appreciated. The staff were efficient and fairly friendly One of the toilets wasn’t working - having only one functioning toilet for a flight of hundreds isn’t really acceptable. I still find it amazing that the budget airlines can’t even offer free tap water to passengers.

Speedy boarding is a waste of money when they herd you on to a bus and take you to the plane and it turns in to a free for all …very unsatisfactory

Plane out was great, one back was cramped. Awful. Thankfully great crew!

3 hours delayed Don’t understand why when you have paid for ‘speedy boarding’ they call you forward to then make you stand fir another 20 minutes in a confined space before boarding the plane.

Delayed and ketone runway. Was told some nonsense about thunderstorms slowing down flights. Why not just come out and tell customers NATO and BRITISH FORCES were doing defence exercises and were in control of AIR SPACE.

Everything’s went straight forward, no issues, good service and friendly crew

Left on time and arrived on time both ways, thank you

The flight was 45 mins delayed but the crew provided water and necessities like tissues

Cheap flights as you expect with Ryanair. I would take cheaper flights over entertainment and comfort for short haul travel. Main issue is usually delays at airports. In this case we landed roughly 2hr30 later than planned due to earlier delays with the plane. Not the worst I imagine

We each paid for 10kg checked in luggage. Flying out there were no issues sharing one case (20kg). Not so coming back. Additional £48 charge and unable to provide an explanation of why it was ok on one journey but not the other, or indeed what material difference it makes between 2x10kg cases vs 1x20kg case. Scam, and appalling from Ryanair.

Easy process and good flight experience The food good be better

I didn't like. The seats and the floor were very dirty and it is not the first time

Unfortunately didn't realise how far away Frankfurt Hahn airport is from Frankfurt the city. Outbound flight was delayed by 2.5 hours and no communication at airport, just a whisper emknating through the packed crowd ready to board at the gate as someone read out an email they had received. All rather poor and pathetic

Pros: "Cheap, saved me when I was in a pinch, and easy check in. I loved being able to check in on the app and check my own bag!"
Cons: "It was difficult to understand what the flight attendants were saying over the intercom. Between the masks and the intercom, nothing came across well. Please continue to wear masks, but perhaps find a clearer way to communicate for those of us that are hard of hearing. I was too embarrassed to say “what!?” 84 times. It’s not their fault."
Pros: "Nothing amazing its opposite, ryanair.com its the worst airline in Europe or maybe on the world. EU parliament should closings this airlane"
Cons: "no chance to be better, I think its all Passenger should expect only its will be worse"

The crew on this flight were attentive, efficient and friendly. It really made for an enjoyable flight.

They canceled my flight , they put me on a different flight that was delayed and the connection was lost . They lost my luggage. And now I’m stuck with any of my belongings.

4 hour technical delay. Cancelled second meal. Crew and flight were great.

British Airways canceled our plane and gave us a new flight scheduled to leave in only three hours, so we had to drop everything and rush to the airport. The new itinerary only left us a one hour layover in Madrid, which was too short because the plane landed late and so we missed our connecting flight. We were then booked onto a flight scheduled to take off 8 hours later, and were not given any compensation or remedial measures.

It took over an hour to check in my bag a there was just one person at the counter. Security lines for business class also took a while. Although I reported 3 hours before my flight I made it to the gate 20 mins before boarding. To add to that jewelry was removed from my checked in baggage. I am submitting a separate complaint to Mumbai airport for that.

Everything was great except for online checkin. That was through BA- glitchy and needed help on seat choice in person at the airport (and the staff were fantastic). Unclear if the problem is due to booking lower fare thru kayak vs directly with Finnair or BA but seems to be the norm.

Seat layout, flight/club attendant service, food variety and quality could have been better. Business class Standard is visibly low compared with 6 other airlines that we have traveled for the past two years.

Despite many attempts to work out a change, neither British Airways nor Kayak nor Chatdeal would allow us to cancel or change this flight so we lost all of the payments when we were not able to fly. Absolutely terrible customer service. We will never use either of the services again.

It said that there was wifi. During the flight there was no wifi and while waiting at the gate the phone services already got cut off so I wasn’t able to say I am taxiing from the gate to my husband. This left me with an uncomfortable feeling. So I was waiting on the WiFi connection during flight and that never happened.

The check at Accra was very bad . I had to be in the queue for solid two hours simple because your staff were pushing people and lifting the balustrade for them to jump the queue. This situation made us very made with your Accra check in crew. I have video of what I am putting across and I am happy I have the opportunity now.I can send the video to you if you are ready to punish those involved.

We bought tickets for £30 from kayak but we paid £55 for check in to rayan , they slaught us

Flight was delayed so long we missed our second flight. Entire trip had to be cancelled. Ryanair refused to help us.

Stanton airport is outdated, pure equiped, airport. Fire alarms, power outages is a common routine, wich result ir flights delay , additional money spending and huge gathering of people in airport wich is unsafe.

After you made us check-in I tried to add a suitcase in the internet and also to get help by chet. Nothing work and we pay 60 pounds at Airport. Comper to Easyjet to do the same, was easy and customer friendly.

Boarding was like being hoarded like cattle, all penned in in an area way to small

I missed the flight from Manchester to Dublin because of poor informations from Aer Lingus and the airport, no possibility to check in online, they don't respond to phone calls, I had to buy another tickets to enable me travel to Dublin from Manchester. I want my money to refund.

I were there 20min before departure and they didn’t let me on the board with 5 other people, after all they admitted it was their(Ryanair) fault.
