How to book the cheapest flight to London?

Accepted Answer

Picking up cheap flights to London is as simple as booking your ticket with Orbitz. But if you'd like to make sure you're grabbing the best flight deals around, here are a few tips your wallet will love:

Depending on where you're taking off from, select the 'Nearby airports' function (located under the departure and arrival form fields). In some cases, alternative departure points will have more competitive fares.
Similarly, click on the 'Show flexible dates' option to view the airfares on days either side of your selected departure. It's possible to pick up cheaper flight deals if your travel plans are flexible.
Hit 'Show options' to refine your search results. You can choose your preferred airline and seating class here. Under 'Sort & Filter' to the left, you can even specify whether you want to fly in the morning, afternoon or evening.
Book your airfare as soon as you know your travel dates. While you can get lucky on occasion, airfares rarely get cheaper as your departure date gets closer.
Combine your flights, hotels and car rentals into a package deal and score great discounts. Save your dollars for things you're really excited about, like discovering every corner of London.
If possible, don't fly during the busy season. Airfares are usually at their most expensive during school breaks, summer and other vacation periods like Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
