Top destinations to explore from London
A curated starting point for your trip, rather than a passenger-volume ranking.
Rome
Rome rewards a flight that leaves time and energy for walking. Compare Fiumicino and Ciampino transfers, then choose arrival times that let you settle in before tackling the historic centre.
Compare London to Rome →Barcelona
Barcelona combines a city break with time by the sea. For a weekend, focus on El Prat access and useful flight times; nearby regional airports are a different journey, not simply another city terminal.
Compare London to Barcelona →Amsterdam
Amsterdam is a compact city-break choice where airport access is relatively straightforward. Look at arrival and return times before choosing between a short visit and an extra night.
Compare London to Amsterdam →Dubai
Dubai flight planning starts with the right airport and arrival time. Consider where you are staying, how much time you want outdoors, and whether a night flight leaves you needing an early hotel check-in.
Compare London to Dubai →Tokyo
Tokyo is easier to plan when you compare Haneda and Narita alongside the flight itself. An arrival that connects well with your hotel transport can be more useful than a small saving on a long journey.
Compare London to Tokyo →Singapore
Singapore works as a destination or a planned stopover. Decide which you want before comparing flights: a short airport connection does not give you the same time in the city as a deliberately booked stay.
Compare London to Singapore →Seoul
Seoul flight choices should account for the arrival airport and an overnight journey. Give yourself a gentle first day rather than expecting to step off a long flight straight into a full sightseeing schedule.
Compare London to Seoul →New York
New York airport choice depends on which borough you are staying in. Compare JFK and Newark transfers as part of the flight, especially if your visit is short or your arrival is late.
Compare London to New York →Sydney
A Sydney trip is shaped by the long journey and the date you arrive. Compare the stopover, total elapsed time and first hotel night together, then leave space to recover before planning coastal outings.
Compare London to Sydney →Bali (Denpasar)
For Bali, compare the flight with the journey to your chosen base. Denpasar airport serves the island, but a late arrival followed by a long road transfer can change the value of a seemingly convenient itinerary.
Compare London to Bali (Denpasar) →Cape Town
Cape Town combines a city stay with weather-dependent outdoor days. Compare overnight flights and airport transfers, then keep your mountain or coastal plans flexible rather than fixing every day before arrival.

COMPARE THE WHOLE COST
Finding cheaper flights from London
Compare the full cost from your home to your destination. For a short break, a closer departure airport or a more useful flight time may be worth more than a small saving on the ticket.
We do not yet have a comparable fare sample for a reliable average. Request a quote for your dates, cabin and baggage needs; a single advertised low fare would not tell you the average cost.
