Direct flights from Basel-Mulhouse EuroAirport reach London in about an hour and a half, landing at Gatwick or Luton depending on the flight. The airport lies just across the French border, about twenty minutes from central Basel, and you check in through the Swiss sector. The UK is outside the Schengen area, so allow time for passport control and check whether you need the UK electronic travel authorisation (ETA).

Arrival: London Gatwick and Luton airports (LGW) and getting into London

You arrive at London Gatwick and Luton airports (LGW). 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.

Arriving late at night? We note it and, if you have booked a transfer, the driver tracks the flight; a delay costs you nothing.

Baggage, seats and classes on the Basel to London flight

Before you compare the Basel to London flight prices, compare what they carry. A fare with hand luggage only can look cheapest and end up dearer once a bag is added. Haqqi Tours offers the fare that matches your bags: cabin bag only for a short trip, checked bag for a holiday, extra allowance for a long stay. Seat selection, meals and priority boarding are optional extras on many airlines; we tell you which are worth it.

• 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
• 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

Flying with children, families and groups from Basel to London

Three things to know about the flight from Basel to London with children: infants under two fly on a lap, children get their own seat and normally a lower fare, and a folding pushchair goes free. Groups get seats together and, on many airlines, a group rate. Tell us the numbers and we handle the rest, including the transfer with enough room for everyone.

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 travellers fly from Basel 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 curry on Brick Lane, Borough Market street food and fish and chips.

Best time to fly from Basel to London

Flights from Basel 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 Basel

The London to Basel flight is the same route in reverse, about 1 hour 30 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 Basel to London?

Flight prices from Basel to London follow demand: book early on a quiet day and you pay a fraction of a last-minute fare in high season. The airline you choose, whether the fare includes baggage, the seat class and the time of the flight all change the total. Rather than quote a number that will be wrong tomorrow, Haqqi Tours checks the fare for the day you want to fly and sends it to you by WhatsApp before you decide.

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 Basel to London flight is often not the one at the top of a search.

Cheapest flight from Basel to London: how to pay less

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

• 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
• 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 typically cheaper than Friday, Sunday and Monday
• Consider early-morning and late-evening departures, which frequently carry the lowest fares

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