London Flights:  Cheap Flights for the Budget Traveler

The London airports are busy every day with incoming and going flights.  Many of the airlines taking tourists to this wonderful place are commercial airlines coming from the different parts of the world.  Visit websites offering information about London flights and catch a discounted airfare or try unconventional flights that fly you at the fraction of the cost of commercial airlines.

Cheap Flights

There are cheap flights to London all year round.  To get cheap tickets, visit websites offering direct booking with different airlines.  The website will require information such as place of origin, date and time of travel and return, the London airport nearest to your target London destination, and flight preferences - non-stop or with stopovers. 

Ticket prices are cheaper if you get a round trip ticket, choose flights with stopovers, or get a red eye to London.  Stopovers can be inconvenient but think of the money you save.  As for the red eye or early morning flights, you have to be ready to lose some sleep - but it will be worth the trouble, money-wise.

If you are a student, check out agencies that cater to student travel.  Show your ID and you can get a cheap flight to London.

There are five major airports in London.  These are London City Airport, Heathrow Airport, Luton Airport, Gatwick Airport, and Stansted Airport.  From these airports, you can get a taxi, rail, tube or coach to your London destination.    

Budget Accommodations

Stretch your budget further by renting a holiday apartment for a week's stay in London.  These apartments are cheaper than hotels if you are planning to stay in London for a week, fortnight, or a month.  If you are traveling with friends, split the rent to further lower your lodging expenses.

London apartments offer hotel-style amenities - bed and bath and full-service.  You can opt for self-catering services and cook in the apartment's equipped kitchenette.  Cooking your meals and making your own coffee during your stay in London extends your budget, too.  You can use the extra money for more sight-seeing, museum hopping, and visiting the countryside.   

There are apartments all over London - in the busy commercial center, suburbs, and quieter neighborhoods.  These apartments are stylishly decorated and have modern amenities including free WIFI.  Experienced budget travelers can choose apartments nearest to Tube or rail.  Instead of getting a taxi or bus, they can walk the stretch to the closest public transport system.   

If you are planning a London trip on a budget, time your visit during off season.  London flights are cheaper and more apartments are available.  Also, book your holiday apartment online - it's faster and convenient.  Online sites offering London holiday rentals also show off the different apartments and the amenities that go with the rent.
