How these were read
- Fares, bundles and lounge prices on each airline's, lounge's, airport's or seller's own site, last read 9 November 2026.
- One holiday route per airport to an airport this site covers, 1 adult one way, on Thursday 28 January, Wednesday 28 April and Wednesday 28 July 2027, or the nearest day within 3 days where no flight ran; the cheapest fare that day.
- Airlines price a single bag or seat only after passenger details, so the checked bag shown is the fare bundle or bag price shown before that step, as the extra over the cheapest fare. Nothing was booked.
- Prices change as seats sell. Air Passenger Duty from GOV.UK.
