Editorial snapshot
Flying to London rewards the planner. Book eight to twelve weeks ahead for the best fares, avoid July, August, and the Christmas period unless you enjoy paying peak prices for the privilege. The city suits everyone from solo culture-seekers to families on a budget who know how to use the Tube. BNPL coverage is genuinely strong here, making it one of the more practical European destinations to book on instalments.

Summer (July to August) and the Christmas-New Year window drive the sharpest price spikes. Shoulder months like March, April, and October offer the best balance of reasonable fares and decent weather.
