Arrival: London Heathrow, Gatwick or Stansted (LHR / LGW / STN) and getting into London

You arrive at London Heathrow, Gatwick or Stansted (LHR / LGW / STN). The Elizabeth line and Heathrow Express, the Gatwick Express, the Stansted Express and the Luton train are all fast to a central station; from there the Tube with suitcases means stairs, gaps and crowds, and Wembley, Windsor or an Oxford Street hotel each add a change, which is why families and groups book a car from the terminal door. If you would rather not think about it, we book a private transfer from the airport to your hotel in London, with the driver tracking the flight in case it is late.

Onward flights or trains from London the same day can be added to the booking; tell us and we choose a Melbourne to London departure that leaves a safe connection.

Baggage, seats and classes on the Melbourne to London flight

Baggage is the item that most often changes the real cost of a flight from Melbourne to London. Full-service fares usually include a checked bag and a cabin bag; low-cost fares start with a small cabin bag and add the rest. We tell you the allowance of the fare we send, and whether adding a suitcase at booking is cheaper than at the airport (it almost always is). Seats can be selected on most airlines for a fee or free at check-in; in economy and business the differences are space, meals and flexibility.

• Infants under two travel on a lap at a reduced fare; children have their own seat and fare
• Meals included on full-service airlines; special meals ordered in advance on request
• Business class: bigger seat, meal, lounge, priority boarding - we send the cost beside economy
• Cabin bag on every fare; checked bag included on full-service fares, optional on low-cost ones

Flying with children, families and groups from Melbourne to London

Families fly the Melbourne to London route with us all year round. Infants under two travel on a lap at a small fare; children have a seat and a child fare where the carrier offers one; pushchairs are checked free at the gate on most airlines. We seat the family together, order children's meals where they exist and choose a departure time that suits nap and bedtime. For groups, we book the seats in one reservation and ask the airline for a group fare where the numbers justify it.

Things to do in London when you land

London is served by more airports than any city in the world: Heathrow (LHR) about 25 km west of the centre, Gatwick (LGW) about 45 km south, Stansted (STN) about 60 km north-east, Luton (LTN) about 55 km north and London City close to Canary Wharf; the West End, the City, Westminster and Kensington form the centre, with Windsor, Oxford and Cambridge within reach by road. The reasons passengers fly from Melbourne to London include Big Ben and Westminster Abbey, the London Eye and the South Bank, Hyde Park and Harrods, the West End theatres and Windsor Castle. For the first meal, try afternoon tea, a Sunday roast in a pub and curry on Brick Lane.

We offer tours and transfers in London as well as the flight ticket - one conversation, one plan for the whole trip.

Best time to fly from Melbourne to London

London is busy all year, with summer, the Christmas lights and the January sales at the peak; the M4 from Heathrow, the M23 from Gatwick and the M1 from Luton are slowest at weekday rush hours, and a Sunday evening back into town. On the flight from Melbourne to London, seasons show in fares more than in schedules: holiday departures fill first, so we recommend booking early for summer, Christmas, New Year, Eid and Easter journeys.

Return flight from London to Melbourne

The London to Melbourne flight is the same route in reverse, about 22 hours 30 minutes. Haqqi Tours provides the return ticket in the same conversation; if you are not yet sure of the return date, we can book a flexible outbound or wait, and explain which is cheaper.

How much is a flight from Melbourne to London?

The cost of a flight from Melbourne to London depends on the date, the time of day, the carrier, the fare class and how far ahead you book. Airlines sell seats in tiers that rise as the plane fills, so the same seat can cost several times more on a holiday weekend than on a quiet Tuesday. That is why Haqqi Tours does not print a price on this page: we look up the live fares for your exact date across every airline on the route and send you the real cost in the WhatsApp chat, with the options side by side.

The figure we send is the total: ticket, taxes and the baggage included in that fare. If a departure two hours earlier is cheaper, or a different airline includes a suitcase for the same money, we say so, because the cheapest Melbourne to London flight is frequently not the one at the top of a search.

Cheapest flight from Melbourne to London: how to pay less

The cheapest flight from Melbourne to London is normally booked early, flown mid-week and chosen with the baggage you actually need. These are the rules our staff applies on every booking:

• Pack to the fare: a hand-luggage-only ticket is cheaper if you do not need a checked bag
• Compare airlines - on this route the cheapest carrier changes from day to day
• Book both directions together when a return fare is cheaper than two singles, which we verify
• Ask about infant and child fares and about group bookings for four or more
• Book early - low fare tiers open months ahead and sell first, especially for holidays
• Fly mid-week - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday departures are generally cheaper than Friday, Sunday and Monday

Send us the form with your dates and we tell you which departure is the cheapest flight from Melbourne to London that day and what a slightly different day would cost.
