Arrival: London Heathrow and Gatwick airports (LHR) and getting into London

Baggage, seats and classes on the Lyon to London flight

Baggage is the item that most frequently changes the real cost of a flight from Lyon to London. Full-service fares normally 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.

• Cabin bag on every fare; checked bag included on full-service fares, optional on low-cost ones
• Adding baggage at booking is cheaper than at the airport - we add it for you
• Seat selection free or paid depending on the carrier; families seated together on request
• Infants under two travel on a lap at a reduced fare; children have their own seat and fare

Best time to fly from Lyon to London

Flights from Lyon to London run all year, several flights a day. 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. If you can travel outside those weeks the same seat costs less and the airports are quieter. Whatever the month, early booking is the single biggest saving.

Return flight from London to Lyon

Coming back? Say so on the form. A return flight ticket from London to Lyon booked with the outbound is often cheaper than two separate bookings, and it keeps the trip on one WhatsApp thread with one point of contact.

How much is a flight from Lyon to London?

"How much is the Lyon to London flight?" is the question we get most, and the honest answer is that it moves every day. Low fares open months ahead and disappear as seats sell; peak seasons, school holidays and the most convenient departure times cost more; a fare with a checked bag and a flexible ticket cost more than a hand-luggage-only seat. Haqqi Tours provides the current cost for your date quickly of receiving the form - the actual fare, not an estimate.

Ask us for two or three options and we send the cost of each - for example the cheapest fare with hand luggage only, the same flight with a checked bag, and the best-timed departure of the day - so the comparison is in front of you before you book.

Cheapest flight from Lyon to London: how to pay less

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

• Fly mid-week - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday departures are generally cheaper than Friday, Sunday and Monday
• Consider early-morning and late-evening departures, which often carry the lowest fares
• Let us know if your dates are flexible - moving by a day can change the fare a lot
• 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 look up

When you fill in the form, mention if you can move your dates. We scan the fares around them and send the cheapest Lyon to London flight first, then the alternatives.
