Answers to the questions we hear most about booking international flights with us.
How do I find the cheapest international flights to London from Australia?
+
Prices vary depending on the time of year, departure city, airline, and how early you book. Booking three to five months ahead generally gets the most competitive fares. Connecting routes and midweek flights also tend to be cheaper. EaseTravel compares fares across all major airlines on Australia to London routes.
Which airlines fly from Australia to London?
+
Airlines on this route include Qantas, Emirates, Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Malaysia Airlines, Thai Airways, and Etihad. Qantas also runs a direct non-stop Perth to London Heathrow flight, one of the longest in the world at around 17 hours. Other airlines connect through the Middle East or Asia.
Which London airport should I fly into?
+
Most travellers from Australia arrive at Heathrow (LHR) or Gatwick (LGW). Heathrow connects to central London via the Elizabeth line, Piccadilly line, and Heathrow Express. Gatwick is about 45 kilometres south and served by the Gatwick Express. We show which airport your flight arrives into before you book.
How long is a flight from Australia to London?
+
The direct Qantas flight from Perth takes around 17 hours. From Sydney or Melbourne, connections through the Middle East with Emirates, Etihad, or Qatar Airways typically take 22 to 26 hours total, and routing through Southeast Asia takes about the same. We show total journey time for every option.
Do I need a visa to travel to the UK from Australia?
+
Australians can visit the UK for up to six months without a visa, but need an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) before arrival. It's applied for online, approved quickly, and linked electronically to your passport. Longer stays or work and study need a full UK visa.
What is the best time of year to fly to London from Australia?
+
Summer offers the best weather but the highest fares and biggest crowds. Spring and autumn balance decent weather with lower prices. Winter is quieter and cheaper, with a distinct atmosphere around Christmas. January and February tend to have the lowest fares overall.
Are there any hidden fees added at checkout when booking international flights to London?
+
No. The fare shown on EaseTravel includes all taxes, carrier charges, and applicable fees. There are no extra costs added at the end of the booking - what you see during your search is what you pay.
What baggage am I allowed on an international flight to London?
+
Full-service airlines like Qantas, Emirates, Singapore Airlines, and Cathay Pacific include at least one checked bag on economy fares, with more allowance on business and premium economy. We show the full baggage details before you confirm your booking.
Can I change or cancel my international flight to London after booking?
+
This depends on the airline and fare type. Flexible and business fares usually allow changes with little or no fee, while discounted economy fares may be non-refundable. We show the full fare conditions before you confirm.
How will I receive my e-ticket after booking an international flight to London?
+
Your e-ticket and confirmation are emailed within minutes of payment. If it doesn't arrive, check your spam folder first, then contact our support team and we'll resend it.
Do you offer last-minute international flights to London?
+
Last-minute fares to London do come up occasionally, though availability is more limited than on domestic routes. If you need to travel at short notice, contact our team and we'll check what's available.
Can I book a one-way international flight to London?
+
Yes. One-way, return, and multi-city options are all available. If you're travelling on through Europe and returning from a different city, our multi-city booking lets you customise the routing.
Do you offer group bookings for international flights to London?
+
Yes. For groups of six or more, contact our team directly. We'll search for the best group fares, help with seating where possible, and support you from enquiry through to departure.
Is London a good destination for a family holiday?
+
Many of London's top attractions, including the Natural History Museum, Science Museum, and British Museum, are free to enter. The Tower of London, London Eye, and a Thames cruise are worth paying for, and Kensington Gardens gives families open space in the city.
What is the best way to get around London after landing?
+
The Tube covers most of the city and runs from early morning to midnight on weekdays. An Oyster card or contactless bank card works across the Tube, buses, and most rail services. Walking is also one of the best ways to see central London.
What are the best things to do in London for a first-time visitor?
+
A walk along the South Bank from Tate Modern to Tower Bridge covers a lot of ground. The British Museum is worth a morning, and Borough Market on a weekday is quieter than weekends. Covent Garden, Soho, and Shoreditch each offer a different evening out.
Is London good for business travel from Australia?
+
London is a major global business hub, home to the City of London and Canary Wharf financial districts. Heathrow connects well to the city, and the volume of flights from Australia means good scheduling flexibility. Flexible fares let you adjust your booking if plans change.
