Flights from London to Athens leave from London Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted or Luton (LHR / LGW / STN / LTN), serving London - 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. Plan to be at the airport about two hours before an international departure and ninety minutes before a domestic one; earlier at peak times. Online check-in opens 24 to 48 hours before and we send the link with your ticket. Getting to the airport: 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.

- Just ask about the terminal and fast-track options at London Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted or Luton

Arrival: Athens International Airport (ATH) and getting into Athens
Arrival is at Athens International Airport (ATH), and the first decision is how to reach the city. Piraeus is the port of Athens and the main gateway to the Aegean islands, linked to central Athens by metro in about half an hour. We provide airport transfers in Athens 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.
Many passengers continue from Athens to somewhere else. We provide those tickets too, so one WhatsApp conversation covers the whole itinerary.
Baggage, seats and classes on the London to Athens flight
On board, the London to Athens flight is about 3 hours 45 minutes: economy is perfectly comfortable, and business class adds a bigger seat, a meal and lounge access for those who want it. Baggage rules differ by airline and fare; children and infants have their own allowances. Let us know who is flying and what you are carrying and we choose accordingly.
- 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
- Adding baggage at booking is cheaper than at the airport - we add it for you
Flying with children, families and groups from London to Athens
Three things to know about the flight from London to Athens with children: infants under two fly on a lap, children get their own seat and typically 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 Athens when you land
Piraeus is the port of Athens and the main gateway to the Aegean islands, linked to central Athens by metro in about half an hour. The reasons travellers fly from London to Athens include the Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion, Lycabettus Hill, the Panathenaic Stadium, Delphi, a day away and the Athens Riviera beaches. For the first meal, try Greek salad with feta, grilled octopus in Piraeus and loukoumades.
We offer tours and transfers in Athens as well as the flight ticket - one conversation, one plan for the whole trip.
Best time to fly from London to Athens
April to June and September to October are ideal; July and August are very hot; winter is mild and quiet; the Attiki Odos motorway from the airport is quick outside rush hour. On the flight from London to Athens, 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 Athens to London
Coming back? Say so on the form. A return flight ticket from Athens to London booked with the outbound is frequently 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 London to Athens?
"How much is the London to Athens 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 offers the current cost for your travel date in a few minutes 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 London to Athens: how to pay less
The cheapest flight from London to Athens is usually booked early, flown mid-week and chosen with the baggage you actually need. These are the rules our staff applies on every booking:
- Book early - low fare tiers open months ahead and sell first, especially for holidays
- Fly mid-week - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday departures are normally cheaper than Friday, Sunday and Monday
- Consider early-morning and late-evening departures, which frequently 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
We answer "what is the cheapest way to fly from London to Athens?" many times a day; the answer for the date you travel comes back on WhatsApp with the booking ready to confirm.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to what travellers ask us most, before they book.
Is baggage included in the London to Athens flight ticket?
It depends on the fare: full-service fares normally include a checked bag, low-cost fares include a cabin bag only. We tell you exactly what is included before you book and add a suitcase at the cheaper booking rate if you need one.
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?
Infants under two travel on a lap at a reduced fare; children two and over need a seat and typically pay a child fare. Give the ages on the form and we apply the right fares and seat the family together.
Do you provide flights in the other direction or to other cities?
We do. Haqqi Tours books any route - the return from Athens to London, or onward flights from Athens - and puts it all on one booking.
What is the difference between economy and business class?
Business class means a much larger seat, a meal, lounge access, priority boarding and normally a more flexible ticket; economy is the practical choice for a 3 hours 45 minutes flight. We send the cost of both.
What is the cheapest flight from London to Athens?
Normally an early-booked mid-week departure on the airline with the lowest fare that day, with only the baggage you need. Tell us if your dates are flexible and we find the cheapest London to Athens flight across the days you can travel.
Can I change or cancel my flight ticket?
It depends on the airline and the fare class - flexible tickets can be changed, the cheapest typically cannot. We spell out the conditions before you confirm and handle any change for you afterwards.
Are there direct flights from London to Athens?
Certainly. British Airways, Aegean Airlines, easyJet and Ryanair operate non-stop flights from London to Athens 10+ a day, and non-stop is what we book unless a connection is clearly cheaper and you prefer it.
How early should I be at London Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted or Luton?
About two hours before an international flight and ninety minutes before a domestic one; more at peak times or if you have bags to check. Low-cost airlines close bag drop strictly on time.
Which airlines fly from London to Athens?
On this route: British Airways, Aegean Airlines, easyJet and Ryanair. Fares, departure times and baggage rules differ between them, so we compare all of them for your date and send the sensible options side by side.
Can I book the London to Athens flight for a group?
Certainly. Give the number of passengers on the form; we book everyone together in one reservation and, when the numbers justify it, ask the airline for a group fare.

For this route the flight is the practical choice - about 3 hours 45 minutes in the air. We provide trains and transfers too and say honestly which is better for your dates.
Can I book a return flight from Athens to London?
Of course. Tick "return" on the form with the date you come back; we compare a round-trip fare against two one-ways and book the cheaper one. Not sure of the return yet? We spell out the flexible options.
Can I add extra baggage or sports equipment?
Yes - extra bags, skis, golf clubs and bicycles can be added at booking on most airlines, at a lower rate than at the airport. Let us know what you are carrying.
