Flights from London
Every destination we track, priced from London on its own search rather than borrowed from another airport. Each fare is a return for one person, taxes in, on the week it was found — and beside it, what the cheapest airport in the country charged for the same place.

Winter sun from London
Fares measured on 30 September 2026, cheapest first. A dash means nothing from London came inside our limits — one stop at most, twelve hours of travel at most — not that the route cannot be flown.

From the route tables
Where can you fly direct from London?
27 of the 30 destinations we track have a nonstop from London: Marrakesh, Agadir, Madeira, Istanbul, Lanzarote, Dalaman, Tenerife, Antalya, Paphos, Sharm el-Sheikh, Hurghada, Sal, Dubai, New York, Orlando, Miami, Montego Bay, Cancún, Las Vegas, Maldives, Sri Lanka, Los Angeles, Bangkok, Tokyo, Cape Town, Mauritius and Phuket. Everything else is a one-stop trip from here.
The airlines are from each airport's published route table, which we re-check every season. A fare above can still be a connection on a route with a nonstop: the search allows one stop, and sometimes the connection is the cheaper ticket.
Against the other nine
Is London the cheapest UK airport to fly from?
London was the cheapest UK airport for 24 of the 30 destinations it priced. Where a regional airport beat it, the gap averaged £10, widest on Zanzibar, where Bristol came in £22 under London.
Every airport is searched separately across the same six months and quoted at its own cheapest week, so the dates in the table are London's, not the country's. A gap of a hundred pounds is worth pricing against the train, the parking and the extra day before you drive to another airport — but most people never find out it is there.
