Flights and hotels in London

Airports that serve London

LHR is the obvious one, but 11 other airports sit within 200 km — often for a good deal less. LetzGo searches on the city, not on one runway.

They spread from 13 km out to 180 km, and the order below is distance — not size, and not how many flights leave from each. A big hub an hour further along the motorway routinely undercuts the field at the end of the road, which is why LetzGo searches the catchment rather than the nearest runway.

How far it is from Luxembourg

London is 490 km from Luxembourg in a straight line — roughly 1 h 10 in the air non-stop. LetzGo is built here, so Luxembourg is the origin these pages measure from; the search itself starts from wherever you tell it to.

Great-circle distance and a rough non-stop block time — not a schedule. Real flights route around airspace, and most of these city pairs are also flown with a connection.

When to go

Warmest around Jul, wettest around Oct, driest around Feb.

One search, both halves

Search once and London comes back as flights you can hold and rooms priced for the same nights. An overnight flight that lands the next morning buys a night fewer, and LetzGo counts it that way rather than charging you for a bed you slept over.

Questions about London

Which airports can I fly into for London?

12 airports sit within 200 km of London, starting with LCY (13 km), LHR (23 km), LGW (40 km). The list runs out to 180 km. LetzGo searches on the city rather than on one runway, because the nearest airport is often not the cheapest one to fly into.

How long is the flight to London from Luxembourg?

London is 490 km from Luxembourg in a straight line, which is roughly 1 h 10 in the air non-stop. Great-circle distance and a rough non-stop block time — not a schedule. Real flights route around airspace, and most of these city pairs are also flown with a connection.

When is the best time to visit London?

Our climate table has London warmest around Jul, wettest around Oct and driest around Feb. That is a readout of typical monthly averages rather than a recommendation — the right month depends on what you want from the trip, and prices move on school holidays more than on weather.

If my flight lands the next morning, do I pay for that night?

No. An overnight flight that lands the following morning buys you one night fewer on the ground, and LetzGo counts the trip that way rather than pricing a room you slept over. It is the most common way a flight-plus-hotel total comes out wrong elsewhere.

Are the prices on LetzGo final?

Flight prices are held for a stated period with a live countdown, so what you see is what you pay while the clock runs. Room prices are estimates and you book them directly with the provider, which is where the final figure is confirmed.

How London compares to home

In January London averages 5 °C against Luxembourg’s 1 °C — 4 °C warmer. In July the gap is 1 °C warmer, at 19 °C against 18 °C. Across the year London sees roughly 630 mm of rain to Luxembourg’s 845 mm.

Worth knowing because the month you pick moves the price as much as the weather does. School holidays and long weekends fill the same flights every year, so the shoulder either side of a good month is usually where a trip gets cheaper without getting worse — and LetzGo prices the flight and the room together, which is where that difference actually shows up.
