Return flight from London to Bucharest
The London to Bucharest flight is the same route in reverse, about 3 hours 25 minutes. Haqqi Tours can provide 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 Bucharest to London?
The cost of a flight from Bucharest to London depends on the date, the time of day, the airline, 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 check 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.
What the price we send includes: the ticket in the fare class you chose, the taxes and airport charges, the baggage that fare carries, and our service - comparing the airlines, booking, sending the e-ticket and helping if the flight changes. We tell you clearly if a bag or a seat costs extra on that fare.
Cheapest flight from Bucharest to London: how to pay less
A cheap Bucharest to London flight ticket is rarely luck. It is the right airline, the right day and the right fare class - which is what we check for you:
- Fly mid-week - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday departures are typically cheaper than Friday, Sunday and Monday
- Consider early-morning and late-evening departures, which frequently carry the lowest fares
- Tell us 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 verify
Send us the form with your dates and we tell you which departure is the cheapest flight from Bucharest to London that day and what a slightly different day would cost.
How to book flights from Bucharest to London with Haqqi Tours
Here is how to book Bucharest to London flight tickets with Haqqi Tours: use the booking form on this page - date, one-way or return, passengers, class - and send it. Shortly afterwards we write to you through WhatsApp with the options for that day, the fare that includes the bags you need and the price. Once you confirm and payment is arranged in the same conversation, we issue the ticket and send the e-ticket and booking reference.
- Step 1 - fill in the form: date, one-way or return, adults and children, class
- Step 2 - we message you by WhatsApp with the flights, the baggage included and the cost
- Step 3 - you confirm the flight you prefer and we arrange payment in the same chat
- Step 4 - we issue the electronic ticket and send it; we stay in touch until you land in London
Because a person books it, we can do what a booking site does not: seat a family together, choose the fare with the right bag, add an infant correctly, line up the Bucharest to London flight with a transfer from your hotel to Henri Coandă International Airport (Otopeni) (OTP) and a driver waiting at London Heathrow, Luton or Stansted (LHR / LTN / STN).

Departure: Henri Coandă International Airport (Otopeni) (OTP)
Your journey starts at Henri Coandă International Airport (Otopeni) (OTP). We tell you the terminal for your airline, when check-in and bag drop close, and whether the airport has fast-track security worth booking. Bus 783 and the airport rail link reach Gara de Nord for a small fare, and the metro serves the centre; a private car from the terminal is simpler with luggage, for the Old Town at night, and for Sinaia, Brasov or Bran, which have no direct public transport from the airport.
- Online check-in opens 24-48 hours before; we send the link and the booking reference
- Keep the passport or ID used for booking with the e-ticket - names must match exactly
- Check the baggage included in your fare - we tell you before you book
- Haqqi Tours arranges a private transfer from your hotel in Bucharest to Henri Coandă International Airport (Otopeni)
Arrival: London Heathrow, Luton or Stansted (LHR / LTN / STN) and getting into London
Arrival is at London Heathrow, Luton or Stansted (LHR / LTN / STN), and the first decision is how to reach the city. 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. We provide airport transfers in London with a driver at arrivals, and we also tell you honestly if the train or metro from the airport is the better choice for where you are staying.
Onward flights or trains from London the same day can be added to the booking; let us know and we choose a Bucharest to London departure that leaves a safe connection.
Baggage, seats and classes on the Bucharest to London flight
Baggage is the item that most often changes the real cost of a flight from Bucharest to London. Full-service fares generally 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 Bucharest to London
Families fly the Bucharest to London route with us week in, week out. 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. Start with the London Eye and the South Bank, Hyde Park and Harrods and the West End theatres, then Windsor Castle and Oxford Street and Regent Street. A tip from our desk: Tell us which airport and terminal - Heathrow alone has four in use - and the hotel's full postcode; London hotel names repeat across the city and the postcode sends the driver straight to the right street.
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 Bucharest 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. For the fare itself, the cheapest flights from Bucharest to London are found outside school holidays and major events, on mid-week days, booked early. Peak weeks sell out first and cost most; shoulder months give the best mix of weather, availability and price.

No - the e-ticket and the booking reference on your phone are enough for check-in. We send both and remind you to carry the passport or ID used for booking.
How do I book flights from Bucharest to London?
Fill out the form on this page with the date you travel, one-way or return, the number of adults and children and the class. Haqqi Tours messages you by WhatsApp with the flights, the baggage included and the cost; you confirm, we book and send the e-ticket.
Can Haqqi Tours arrange airport transfers?
Yes - a private car from your hotel to Henri Coandă International Airport (Otopeni) and a driver waiting at London Heathrow, Luton or Stansted, with flight tracking, on the same confirmation as the ticket.
Which airport do I fly from in Bucharest?
Departures are from Henri Coandă International Airport (Otopeni) (OTP). We send the terminal and the check-in deadline with the ticket, and can add a private transfer from your hotel to the airport.
When is the best time to book the Bucharest to London flight?
As early as your dates allow. Low fare classes open months ahead and disappear as the plane fills; holidays, weekends and summer departures sell first.
Is baggage included in the Bucharest to London flight ticket?
Not always. Full-service fares generally include a checked bag; low-cost and basic fares include hand luggage only. We state exactly what each fare includes before you book and add a bag where it is cheaper to do so at booking.
What if my flight is delayed or cancelled?
The airline rebooks you and, depending on the rules that apply, may owe assistance or compensation; our WhatsApp desk helps you through it. If you have a transfer booked with us the driver tracks the flight.
Do children and infants need a ticket?
Yes, at their own fares: infants under two travel on a lap at a reduced rate, children from two need a seat and typically pay a child fare. Give the ages on the form and we apply them.
Do you provide flights in the other direction or to other cities?
We do. Haqqi Tours books any route - the return from London to Bucharest, or onward flights from London - and puts it all on one booking.
What is the difference between economy and business class?
Space, food and flexibility: business class adds a bigger seat, a meal, lounge access and priority boarding, and normally a more flexible ticket. We send the cost of both so you can decide.
What is the cheapest flight from Bucharest to London?
Normally a mid-week departure booked well ahead, on whichever airline has the lowest fare that day, with only the baggage you need. Give us flexible dates on the form and we search the cheapest Bucharest to London flight across all of them.
Can I change or cancel my flight ticket?
Change and refund rules depend on the airline and the fare class; some tickets are flexible, the cheapest are not. We tell you exactly what applies before you confirm and handle any change through the same WhatsApp thread.
Are there direct flights from Bucharest to London?
Yes - Wizz Air, Ryanair, British Airways and TAROM fly non-stop from Bucharest to London, 10+ a day. We book the non-stop flight unless a connection is much cheaper and you prefer it.
