London When to Go

London has a reputation for being wet and dark, and while the reputation holds up in the fall and winter months, when a spot of sun is something to celebrate, visitors to London get good weather if they know when to go.

The best time to visit London is summer, when temperatures average in the low to mid 70s and precipitation is minimal. This, of course, is when airfare and hotels are at their peak prices. But good weather in London can be worth the extra cash.

Most travelers avoid London from October through January, when temperatures are coldest. That said, you’ll find great winter deals on airfare and hotels. If museums and other indoor spaces are on your to–do list, this season may be a great budget option for you. Hearty raincoat required.

Transport options from London to Heathrow

If your holiday begins by going from Central London to Heathrow Airport, then you’ll need to plan ahead for a relaxed journey. There are two main options when getting to London Heathrow Airport from Central London. Both of these options service all terminals.

Transport options to Gatwick airport

If you need to transfer from Heathrow to Gatwick airport and need to make it to your connecting flight in plenty of time and within budget, we’ve got you covered. There are two main options when getting to Gatwick from Heathrow Airport and both serve both the north and south terminals.

How to book the cheapest flight to London?
Picking up cheap flights to London is as simple as booking your ticket with Orbitz. But if you’d like to make sure you’re grabbing the best flight deals around, here are a few tips your wallet will love:

  • Depending on where you’re taking off from, select the ‘Nearby airports’ function (located under the departure and arrival form fields). In some cases, alternative departure points will have more competitive fares.
  • Similarly, click on the ‘Show flexible dates’ option to view the airfares on days either side of your selected departure. It’s possible to pick up cheaper flight deals if your travel plans are flexible.

  • Book your airfare as soon as you know your travel dates. While you can get lucky on occasion, airfares rarely get cheaper as your departure date gets closer.
  • Combine your flights, hotels and car rentals into a package deal and score great discounts. Save your dollars for things you’re really excited about, like discovering every corner of London.
  • If possible, don’t fly during the busy season. Airfares are usually at their most expensive during school breaks, summer and other vacation periods like Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas.

What do I need for the flight to London?
A long-haul flight can be daunting, but it’s nothing a little preparation can’t fix. We’ve compiled our top tips and tricks to ensure your trip is a stress-free one:

  • Nothing is more important than having your travel documents. Which to bring and how many depend on whether you’re flying international or domestic. It’s best to check with your airline. In both cases, you’ll need to show photo identification.
  • If you’re flying directly to London, chances are you’re going to be in the air for quite some time. Pack lots of snacks and entertainment to keep you occupied. Now is a good time to get stuck into that novel you’ve haven’t finished!
  • Cabin temperatures are often chilly enough to give you goose bumps. Bring a hoodie even if you’re heading off during the height of summer.

How many direct flights are there to London?
You can lock in a seat on one of 185 flights that travel directly to London every month. British Airways, KLM and Luxair are just some of the carriers that will take you there comfortably in one go. SWISS, Lufthansa and Loganair also fly nonstop.
How do I get cheap first-class/business deals to London?
Experienced travelers have a knack for finding business or first-class fares to London without the sky-high price tag. Be like them with these helpful tips:

  • Flexibility is key. By being open to a few travel dates, you’ll have better odds of picking up a deal on first or business-class airfares.
  • Low-cost airlines offer first or business-class seating at a fraction of the usual cost. Skip the full-service carriers and consider these cheaper options.
  • Make a bid for an upgrade. Some airlines hold online auctions that let you offer a price for a seat up the front. You may also be able to upgrade with points earned through a flight loyalty scheme.

How to get into London from the airport?
You may opt to drive the 8 miles west to central London. If so, there are numerous London City Airport (LCY) car rental offices for you to choose from at London City Airport (LCY), for example Avis, Hertz and Budget. Otherwise, use public transportation or take a taxi downtown, then choose your wheels from London car rentals.
