What is the best airport to fly to in Essex?

Stansted Airport (STN) is a popular gateway to Essex. While many make this their entry point to the region, others choose to fly into Southend Airport (SEN). Compare prices and work out which is best based on where you'll be staying.

How much is a flight to Essex?

How to book the cheapest flight to Essex?

With some of the most affordable flight deals around, bagging a bargain is easy with Orbitz. The following handy hints will help you pick up cheap flights to Essex — and leave you with more cash to play with:

Departing from or landing at nearby airports can sometimes help you save on airfares. Type in your preferred departure and arrival points. Next, select the 'Nearby airports' function below the form fields to compare your options.
Similarly, click on the 'Show flexible dates' link and you'll see the fares on days around your selected departure. You may be able to pick up cheaper flight deals if you're flexible with your schedule.
You can also use the 'Show options' function to filter results for your preferred airline, seating class, nonstop flights and refundable flights. Under 'Sort & Filter' to the left, you can even choose the time of day you want to fly.
Reserve your fare as soon as you've worked out your travel dates. While you can get lucky on occasion, airfares rarely get more affordable as your date of departure approaches.
Think about combining your hotels, flights and car rental with Orbitz — the more you book, the more you save.
Don't fly during the busy season if you can. By steering clear of summer, school vacations and other popular dates, you can make superb savings on your airfare.

What is the best time to book a flight to Essex?

Generally speaking, January is the cheapest time to book your plane ticket. This is closely followed by February and August. Keep this in mind while you search for a cheap flight to Essex.

What day of the week is the cheapest to book a flight to Essex?

Make a booking on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Saturday. Typically, these are the cheapest days to purchase tickets to Essex. The vacation of your dreams starts with an incredible flight deal!

What is the cheapest day of the week to fly to Essex?

Everybody loves a great bargain, so we recommend leaving earlier in the week for cheap flights to Essex. Orbitz data from 2020 suggests you can pick up the best deals on flights leaving on Mondays. Tuesday is the next most affordable day, while Saturdays are likely to cost a bundle. Many passengers like to start their vacation on weekends, so leave those Saturdays for catching up with friends.

What is the cheapest month to fly to Essex?

To score cheap flights to Essex, pack your bags and fly out in August. Orbitz data shows that generally, this is the best month to save serious money on your fare. If you're considering flying to Essex in June, it's worth noting that this is the most expensive time to take a trip.

Which airlines allow free cancellation?

If you think your travel plans may change, Orbitz will help you lock in a flexible ticket. All you need to do is select "Filter by flexible change policies" when searching for your flights. We'll show you all the airlines that include free cancellation and no change fees — all on top of irresistibly low prices.

What do I need for the flight to Essex?

The trick to having a smooth and stress-free flying experience is to be prepared. Here are some tips to take note of before departure:

In all cases you'll need a form of identification. How much? This depends on where you're traveling to and from. When booking, we suggest to use the same name, birth date and gender as shown on your government-issued ID.
If you're flying directly to Essex, chances are you're going to be in the air for quite some time. Pack some snacks and entertainment to keep you occupied. Now is the time to pick up that novel you haven't read yet!
Long-haul trips are known to get very cold, especially if you're flying overnight. If you don't want to spend your journey shivering in your seat, pack a warm layer and some wool socks.

How many direct flights are there to Essex?

Roughly 600 per month. Ryanair is among the airlines that head directly to Essex. Use the Orbitz search tool to see if Ryanair has any nonstop fares from your point of departure.

How do I get cheap first-class/business deals to Essex?

If you think a business or first-class airfare is beyond your reach, you may want to think again. Here are some practical tips to help you score a premium flight to Essex for less:

Flexibility is important. By being open to a variety of travel dates, you'll have better odds of landing a great deal on business or first-class airfares.
Low-cost airlines offer first or business-class seats at a fraction of the usual price. Ditch the full-service carriers and look into these cheaper options.
Make a bid for an upgrade. Some carriers hold online auctions that let you put down a price for a seat up the front. You can also try upgrading with points earned through a flight loyalty scheme.

Fare, taxes & fees: Fares include all taxes and fees, except baggage fees. Rates shown reflect fares found by other Orbitz users over the past 7 days. Due to rapidly changing airline prices & seat availability, these fares may no longer be available.

Refunds/changes/cancellations: Itinerary changes, if permitted for the fare, will have a $30 service fee charged by Orbitz. Additional airline charges may apply.

Other conditions: Schedules, fares and rules are subject to change without notice. Seats are limited and may not be available on all flights/dates or in all markets. Lower fares may be available. Fares will not be honored retroactively or in exchange for any wholly/partially unused ticket. Tickets are non-transferable and non-refundable. Fare rules are provided for the selected itinerary before booking.
