Cheap Flights Seville to London: Which Airport, Which Airline, Which Month
Compare Seville–London fares on TopTravelCentre →
Cheap flights from Seville to London hinge on one decision most travellers get wrong: which of London’s five airports you land at. The route itself is competitive — four airlines fly it directly in under three hours, and low-season round trips appear from £60–90 / €90–130. But a £35 fare to an airport 60 km from central London can cost more door-to-door than a £70 fare to one with a fast train. Start by searching all Seville–London flights on TopTravelCentre, then read on for how to pick.

Airlines on the Seville–London corridor
- Ryanair — the volume player, flying to Stansted and (depending on season) Luton. Usually the lowest base fare on any given date; everything beyond a small under-seat bag costs extra.
- easyJet — flies into Gatwick, which many travellers consider the best-value London airport (direct 30-minute train to Victoria). Fares are competitive and cabin bags are included on standard fares.
- Vueling — rarely direct on this pair; usually connects through Barcelona. Worth checking when its sales hit, since the connection can occasionally beat direct pricing.
- British Airways / Iberia — connections via Madrid or Barcelona into Heathrow or Gatwick. Full service with hold luggage included; usually pricier but convenient for Heathrow connections.
The honest approach: put your dates into TopTravelCentre’s search, compare every airline and airport at once, and add the ground-transfer cost mentally before choosing.
London airports compared (the part that actually saves money)
- Gatwick (LGW) — Gatwick Express to Victoria in ~30 min (£20ish), or cheaper Southern/Thameslink trains. Best balance of fare and location for this route.
- Stansted (STN) — Stansted Express to Liverpool Street in ~45 min. Ryanair’s hub; cheap flights, decent rail link.
- Luton (LTN) — train to St Pancras plus a shuttle bus to the terminal. Workable, slightly more friction than Stansted.
- Heathrow (LHR) — Elizabeth line or Piccadilly line into town. Only via connecting itineraries from Seville.
And Seville airport itself is easy: one terminal, 25 minutes by bus (EA line, ~€4) or 15 by taxi from the centre. Show up two hours early and you’re done.
Cheapest time to fly Seville to London
- Cheapest: January, February. Post-holiday slump on both sides; London hotel prices also bottom out, doubling the saving.
- Good value: late September–October. After the summer rush, before the Christmas climb.
- Expensive: June–August, Easter, Feria & Semana Santa weeks. Seville’s own festivals push outbound demand up sharply; book months ahead or avoid.
Ranges are indicative — always check live prices for your dates before booking.
Five ways to pay less
- Add the transfer cost to the fare. Stansted Express return is ~£40. A “cheaper” Ryanair fare can lose to easyJet into Gatwick once you’re on the train.
- Fly Tuesday–Thursday. Weekend departures carry the premium on every Spain–UK route.
- Book 4–8 weeks out. This corridor’s pricing punishes last-minute bookings harder than most.
- Mind your bags before you pay. Low-cost bag fees can exceed the fare itself; two one-ways with correct pre-paid bags beat a “cheap” fare with airport-rate luggage fees.
- Check UK entry rules. The UK is outside Schengen — EU ID cards are not accepted; you need a passport. Factor nothing extra in money, but don’t get turned away at SVQ.
Direct or connecting: what makes sense here
This is a high-frequency leisure corridor, so the calculus differs from thin routes. Direct flights on Vueling, Transavia and Ryanair run at times spread across the day, meaning you can often find a direct option that fits a Friday-to-Sunday city break without overnighting anywhere. Connections via Madrid or Barcelona (Iberia, Air Europa) add 2–3 hours and rarely price below the direct low-cost options except during Easter and August peaks, when direct inventory sells out and legacy carriers are the only seats left. If you do book a connection, avoid routings with under 90 minutes of change time — Madrid’s T4 to T4S shuttle and Barcelona’s terminal-to-terminal transfers eat tight buffers quickly, and separate tickets offer no protection if the first leg is late.
