Four London airports — the real cost math

Your “cheap” fare can evaporate on the transfer, so match airport to plan:

  • Gatwick (LGW) — 30 minutes from Victoria by Gatwick Express (~£20), cheaper Southern trains available. easyJet and BA territory.
  • Stansted (STN) — Ryanair’s base. Stansted Express to Liverpool Street takes ~45 minutes (~£20). Usually the cheapest flights, furthest from central London.
  • Luton (LTN) — budget carriers; train plus shuttle bus to St Pancras takes about an hour. Only worth it if the fare is clearly lower.
  • Heathrow (LHR) — best connected (Piccadilly line, Elizabeth line) but rarely the cheapest.

Palma (PMI) itself is a big, smooth single-terminal airport 8 km east of the city; buses 1 and A2 and the EMT line connect central Palma in 15–20 minutes. In July–August allow extra time — it’s one of Spain’s busiest seasonal airports.

When to fly: price seasons

  • Cheapest: January to March and November — London’s grey months are your discount.
  • Fair: April–June, late September–October. Book 6–8 weeks out.
  • Expensive: July–August, Easter, and UK school half-terms (February, May, October) when British demand floods the route in both directions.

Midweek flights — Tuesday and Wednesday — are consistently the cheapest days on this corridor.

Money-saving tips for Palma–London
