London Is a City That Rewards Every Kind of Traveller

London is less a single destination than a collection of worlds layered on top of one another. One trip might mean the red buses and black cabs of Westminster, and the next might mean wandering the cobbled lanes of Camden Market or catching a show in the West End. Then there are the leafy parks of Hampstead, the street art of Shoreditch, and the historic pubs along the Thames — each one a completely different reason to book a flight.

Whether you're planning a week exploring museums and galleries, a city break catching Premier League football and theatre, or a wider UK tour taking in Edinburgh and the Cotswolds, we compare international fares from Australia across all major airlines so you get the best available price without spending hours searching for it yourself.

Travel Tip: Fares from Australia to London tend to peak around the Northern Hemisphere summer (June to August) and the December holiday period, so for lower prices and thinner crowds, we recommend flying during the shoulder months (March to May or September to November) when fares are typically lower and popular attractions are far less crowded.

Real reviews from people who booked their London flights with EaseTravel.

  • "

    Booked a one-way from Sydney to London three weeks out and still landed a fare well below what I'd seen on the airline's own site. The comparison tool genuinely saved me money.

    Rachel Hughes

    Frequent Business Traveler

  • "

    We flew the whole family out to London for two weeks and the booking process couldn't have been simpler. Having the UK ETA requirement flagged upfront saved us a last-minute scramble.

    Called their support line after a schedule change on my Melbourne to London connection and had a real person sort a new routing within minutes. Genuinely reassuring for a trip this long.

    Flew in for a conference in London and appreciated that pricing was upfront with no surprise fees at checkout, exactly what the FAQ promised.

  • "

    Went during the shoulder season like their travel tip suggested, fares were noticeably lower and the British Museum was blissfully uncrowded. Booking the day-trip add-on to the Cotswolds was seamless too.

  • "

    Booked a group trip for eight people ahead of a wedding in the Cotswolds and their team handled the group booking without a single hiccup. Secure payments gave everyone peace of mind too.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions we hear most about booking international flights to London with us.

How do I find the cheapest international flights to London from Australia? +

Fares to London can vary widely depending on how far ahead you book and which airport you're flying into. Booking ten to fourteen weeks ahead usually gets the best price, and midweek departures tend to be cheaper than weekend ones. EaseTravel compares fares across all major airlines flying out of Australia in one search.

Which airlines fly from Australia to London? +

Qantas, British Airways, Singapore Airlines, Emirates, Qatar Airways, and Virgin Australia all operate regular routes between Australia and London. Some routes fly direct, while others connect through hubs like Singapore, Doha, or Dubai.

Which Australian cities have direct flights to London? +

Perth offers direct flights to London with Qantas. Sydney and Melbourne also have direct services on select carriers, while Brisbane, Adelaide, and other capital cities generally connect via one of these hubs or through Middle East and Asian gateways.

How long is a flight from Australia to London? +

Flight times vary by departure and arrival city. Perth to London direct is around 17 hours, Sydney to London direct is roughly 22 to 23 hours, and flights from Melbourne and Brisbane typically take 23 to 24 hours. Connecting flights can take 24 to 30 hours door to door depending on the layover.

Do I need a visa to travel to London from Australia? +

Australian passport holders travelling for tourism or short business trips generally don't need a full visa but must apply for a UK ETA (Electronic Travel Authorisation) before departure. It's a good idea to apply well ahead of your flight, as approval can take up to 72 hours.

What is the best time of year to fly to London from Australia? +

Fares are generally lower outside the Northern Hemisphere summer and the Christmas and New Year period. March to May and September to November tend to offer the best combination of lower fares and pleasant weather across most of the country.

Are there any hidden fees added at checkout when booking international flights? +

No. The fare shown on EaseTravel includes all taxes, carrier charges, and fees. There are no surprise costs at checkout - the price you see when you search is what you pay.

What baggage am I allowed on an international flight to London? +

This depends on the airline and fare type. Most full-service carriers on London routes include at least one checked bag on international fares, while basic economy fares may only include carry-on. We show the full details before you book.

Can I change or cancel my international flight to London after booking? +

This depends on the airline and fare type. Flexible fares usually allow changes with little or no fee, while sale fares may be non-refundable. We show the full fare conditions before you confirm your booking.

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? +

Yes. Last-minute fares come up often, especially on the London Heathrow and London Gatwick routes. If your dates are flexible or you need to book at short notice, contact our team and we'll check what's available.

Can I book a one-way international flight to London? +

Yes. You can book one-way, return, or multi-city flights to London. One-way fares are shown alongside return options so you can compare and pick what suits you.

Do you offer group bookings for international flights to London? +

Yes. For groups of six or more, contact our team directly. We'll find the best group fares, help with seating where possible, and support you from booking through to departure.

What are the best cities to visit in the UK for a first-time traveller? +

London, Edinburgh, and Bath are the classic first stops, each offering a completely different side of the country. Manchester and Liverpool are popular add-ons for travellers wanting music and culture, while the Cotswolds and Lake District suit those after countryside and villages.

Is London a good destination for a family holiday? +

London is one of the world's most family-friendly destinations. The Natural History Museum, Science Museum, and Tower of London all suit different ages, and most attractions have well-developed public transport and family-friendly accommodation nearby.

What is the best way to get around the UK once I arrive? +

It depends on your itinerary. London has extensive public transport including the Tube, buses, and trains, while a rental car is often the easiest way to cover ground in the Cotswolds, Lake District, or Scottish Highlands. Domestic trains and flights are also common for longer hops, such as London to Edinburgh.
