Get a suitcase that is EasyJet sized, no more baggage fees. When it's that size, it's easy to carry, No wheels, no extending handles (why use your luggage allowance for the weight of the case?). No worries that you'll get fined when the bag doesn't fit.

The overhead luggage bins are very small so they required us to check our hand carry luggage. I had to take my rechargable batteries out of my bag and put them in my rucksack. It would be a good idea to pack you hand carry luggage assuming you might need to check it in at the gate.

Research the airline baggage allowance and hidden fees. Allow a few extra minutes when checking baggage as attendants don’t check the bags for you. Customers check their own bags at a kiosk.

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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 does KAYAK find such low prices on flights from the United Kingdom to the United Kingdom?

    KAYAK is a travel search engine. That means we look across the web to find the best prices we can find for our users. With over 2 billion flight queries processed yearly, we are able to display a variety of prices and options on flights from the United Kingdom to the United Kingdom.

  • How does KAYAK's flight Price Forecast tool help me choose the right time to buy my flight ticket from the United Kingdom to the United Kingdom?

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

  • What is the Hacker Fare option on flights from the United Kingdom to the United Kingdom?

    Hacker Fares allow you to combine one-way tickets in order to save you money over a traditional return ticket. You could then fly from the United Kingdom to the United Kingdom with an airline and back with another airline.

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

    Sometimes travel dates aren't set in stone. If your preferred travel dates have some wiggle room, flexible dates will show you all the options when flying from the United Kingdom to the United Kingdom up to 3 days before/after your preferred dates. You can then pick the flights that suit you best.

  • What is the cheapest day to fly to the United Kingdom?

    Based on KAYAK data, the cheapest day to fly to the United Kingdom is Friday when return tickets can be as cheap as £246. On the other hand, the most expensive day to fly is Wednesday, when return prices are £357 on average.

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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 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.

Everything was fantastic. My trip was short and sweet. No problems. Just remember. My paid checked in was i belive 2 to 3 lbs overweight. I believe I could have been given a discretionary pass rather than paying or unpacking. Especially as flight was probably half full only. Thank you

I really enjoyed the good hot tea and biscuits. I loved the tartan plaid head-rests on each seat and the fact that there were all different. The crew’s uniforms are very sharp looking, too.

I booked this flight thru Kayak and then had to cancel within 24 hours of booking. They only refunded part of the fare, saying that was the usual practice. I was not pleased.

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

Poor. Plane left EWR late hence missed connecting flight in Dublin. No pro active info from flight staff on connection, only when probed a couple of lies on where we would dock, and on lilelyhood catching connecting flight. Lies as they will have known our EWR-DUB would be parked furthest away from the transit spit - lying it would be next to the AMS flight.

delayed flight stayed whole night at washington Dallas airport at seats , uncomfortable . i am senior citizen , very tired , worst travel.

There was a 6h delay with limited updates . When we got to Manchester the bus took ages to get to arrivals and we missed our train, dinner reservation. Basically lost a whole day due to arrivals Lingus!!

Great. Has a problem with DOB. Fixed 4 us. Led to a 5 hour earlier flight to London!

One of the best flight experience I have had in along time. Would fly with them again.

Like getting a bus. No great luxury but will get you there

Got us to destination alive, albeit a bit late. Luggage was left behind. No live tracking app available (available on some other airlines). Supposedly going to be delivered in next couple of days.

The connection time between the regional flight (from Newcastle) to an international flight (to The States) was too short. To require as second security scan and customs clearance within an hour and 20 mins is not enough time to make the actual connection. We had a final boarding call the minute we walked out of US customs and had to sprint (with two small children) through 20 gates to make it in time before the door closed. The concept is great in theory to clear customs before leaving Europe, but the timing needs to be adjusted. We travel abroad frequently and won’t be using this route again. Thanks.

The biking process was confusing and I was called for a seat assignment from I number I repeatedly though was spam, but the flight itself was great

My experience with Aer Lingus was not too good. First, because of the last minute delayed flight from Amsterdam to Dublin we almost missed our flight from Dublin to Philadelphia. Secondly, the flight from Dublin to Philadelphia had very uncomfortable seats especially it was a very long flight. My buttocks were constantly in pain for sitting on these seats for this long. Lastly, the service in the plane was also slow. I asked for a second cup of water and the hostess told me he'll be right back with that where it took him over an hour to come back with water. It was warm in the plane and I was very thirsty. Overall this airline needs much improvement in their services.

Whole way through - far more professional and slick than I expected

Good news was that Bag Check was open two and a half hours before the flight, which is essential with the chaotic immigration process. Flight was okay, but sitting at the back of the aircraft, 3 overhead bins on both sides were filled with crew bags and other misc items, so we couldn't put our cabin bags anywhere near us. To add insult, twice the crew managed to drop items that they were taking out of the overhead bins onto my wife's head, who was sitting in an aisle seat.

You need to make signage at Berlin Airport clearer. Having checked in online we had our boarding passes onlour phones. You do not make it clear that you need to check in again to receive a printed luggage tag. You get to baggage drop off and it says you can only do it with a luggage tag BUT not how to get this.

We were bumped despite seats existing on flight While checkin attendants were helpful Easyjet management was not. Only after threats were we allowed on plane at last minute. The online help desk was useless and waste of time (over an hour of useless chats)

It was good except they could offer free water and tea/coffe

Sitting on the last row in between the aisle and a massive person, all people going to the bathroom bumped into me including the flight attendants.

Sat at rear of aircraft and was very cold. As a frequent flyer for many years, this is was the coldest I have ever been. Other passengers and some crew were complaining how cold it was. Sitting near the doors always risks being colder, just the way the aircraft works - but this was exceptional, bring a good jumper. Everything else was pretty standard easyJet - good value low cost carrier.

The best budget airline in Europe. Flight was on time, crew friendly and worked hard during flight and were able to meet our needs. Only downside (not the airline's fault), there were no rear steps.

It was transportation nothing more. I will give a positive rating over Ryanair. We missed our Ryanair flight the night before and received rude and unconcerned treatment from the Ryanair customer service. It was late. We were very tired and stressed after doing our best to get to the airport. The so called customer service ladies were completely unconcerned from the start. Aside from that, the flight to London seemed to be their opportunity for advertising. No time to relax as attendants were constantly in the aisle selling. I will never fly Ryanair again!!

Boarding could be better. To get through your gate but to be stood in a corridor for 20 minutes is not great.

No problems except for a completely full flight. But we were add one because of a previous delayed flight.

Cramped seating but standard in all smaller aircrafts today no matter what airlines. Crew very helpful, friendly & attentive so makes up for that.

The crew on the flight were not particularly pleasant and fluid restriction was an issue. I was not allowed to fill my water bottle. Crew didn't check on passengers other than meal service.

Entertainment system didn't work well. Also no new movies and limited choice of other programmes. . And only one USB A charger option. Most modern electronic items needs USB C. Planes should offer both

The space in the seat was okay, the staff were friendly, the entertainment system, my touch screen was not working and some of the films listed on the website for the flight were not available.

I like everything about British Airways. Excellence. Perfect. Exquisite service.

Ohooo it's fantastic 👏 I love it 😀 😍 ❤️ it's on time ⏲️

Big queues on arrival at airport despite having already checked in and only needed to drop bags off. Flight delayed which impacted on connecting flight.

The check-in baggage belt was broken (which is understandable) but what was surprising is they would check you in, give a baggage tag and then you have to drag the baggage to a different counter at the end of airport. No vegetarian option in in-flight meal. British Airways remains the worst big name airlines and always my last option while booking.

The boarding process was very poorly organized. Too many people had way to much carry on and resulted in loading overhead bins being the gating factor. Time for change.

The flight was on time, great value and very helpful crew. This direct flight was the most convenient I ever had coming to Sarajevo over the years. Will definitely use this flight again in the future without hesitation.

The flight was delayed by a bird strike. We were held in boarding area with no toilet facilities.

Very late to leave, poor communication on expected departure time and when boarding actually started.

Everything was perfectly fine, it’s exactly what you would hope for from a budget airline. You get what it says on the tin, what more could you ask for?

Cheap flight but I didn't like the almost one hour delay because of paperwork!!!!

Gate is far at Leeds Bradford Airport. However, as the flight was less than half full, it was calm and not stressful. Great take off and landing. Friendly staff

Boarding was started early and we were lined up in. A glass tunnel on the tarmac we were left standing there for an hour with no information the flight left and arrived 30 mins late

It was great. We arrived a few minutes late but the crew were concert and kind about it. It was a nice smooth fly thanks be to Jesus. I prayed for smooth flight and Yahuwah answered my prayer.

Need more check in desks at Marrakech. Even if you are travelling with hand luggage only, you still need to 'check in' to get the old style boarding pass. Unfortunately they haven't thought to separate out the people checking in luggage to a separate desk. Flight was delayed leaving but arrived on time. Limited food options on board and very overpriced.

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