Flights to London Heathrow

Search for cheap airfare to London Heathrow and book a flight to London

As Europe’s busiest airport for passenger traffic, and the world’s busiest airport for international passenger traffic, London Heathrow Airport (code: LHR) needs no introduction. Due to its close proximity to so many major capitals, it’s probably easier to get cheap airfare into London Heathrow than into any other airport in the world. Sure, taxes and landing fees are on the high side, but the intense competition from so many airlines makes sure that prices are always as low as they can be.

Now that Terminal 5 is officially open, this already-huge airport can handle even more traffic. It’s not commonly used by Europe’s many low-cost airlines, but it’s used by all the major international carriers of the world so finding flights into LHR is never much of a challenge.

Flights from North America

You can fly into London Heathrow nonstop from most of the larger cities in the United States and Canada, but those nonstop flights aren’t always the cheapest. Unless you are leaving from Atlanta or New York City you might find that a one-stop flight will save you money. Nearly all flights in this direction are overnight flights, arriving in London in the morning, so the few morning flights that land late in the evening in London tend to be expensive.

Flights from within Europe

You can fly into Heathrow from nearly any city in Europe as well as every major city in the UK and Ireland. As mentioned above, the low-cost airlines tend to fly into other airports in the London area, so if you are flying from within Europe it’s worth it to use the code LON, which is for all London airports at the same time, or at least try London Gatwick (LGW), London Standsted (STN), and London Luton (LTN) if the system doesn’t accept the LON code.

Flights from Asia

You can get a nonstop flight into London Heathrow from every major city in Asia, and many lower-tier cities as well. You can get a nonstop flight into Heathrow all the way from Tokyo, but often you can get a cheaper flight changing planes. There are also major hubs in the Middle East and several airlines that have cheap airfare going through those, so you might be changing planes in the UAE or Kuwait, which is kind of exotic in itself.

Flights from Africa

You can get nonstop flights from most major African capitals, but getting cheap airfare isn’t too easy.

Flights from Australia

Several airlines fly between Heathrow and Australia, but you have to stop at least once. You’ll likely change planes in Singapore, Hong Kong, or Bangkok, but you can also get good airfares on some Middle East airlines changing in UAE or Kuwait.
