How much is a flight from Washington to London?

Flight prices from Washington 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 through WhatsApp before you decide.

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 electronic ticket and helping if the flight changes. We tell you clearly if a bag or a seat costs extra on that fare.

• Consider early-morning and late-evening departures, which often carry the lowest fares

Departure: Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD)

Flights from Washington to London leave from Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD), serving Washington - washington is the US capital of the National Mall, the Smithsonian museums, the Capitol and the White House. 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 Metro's Yellow and Blue lines link Reagan Airport to the centre in about 20 minutes, and the Silver Line now reaches Dulles, but that ride takes around 55 minutes with changes; BWI relies on a shuttle to the MARC or Amtrak train to Union Station. A private car suits late arrivals, families, Georgetown (which has no Metro station) and Dulles or BWI transfers with luggage.

• 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 Washington to Washington Dulles International Airport

Arrival: London Heathrow Airport (LHR) and getting into London

Arrival is at London Heathrow Airport (LHR), 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.

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 Washington to London flight

Before you compare the Washington 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 can provide 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.

• 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
• Seat selection free or paid depending on the carrier; families seated together on request

Groups - a company, a school, a wedding party - are booked together so everyone sits in the same section and one confirmation covers the whole party. Haqqi Tours also provides the minivans and Sprinters that carry a group between the airport and the hotel at both ends.

Best time to fly from Washington to London

Flights from Washington to London run all year, several 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.
