The majority of travellers in the UK will probably fly from the two largest UK airports, based in London; Gatwick and Heathrow. Heathrow is the busiest airport in Europe, and Gatwick is the busiest single runway airport in the world. There is a fantastic range of budget airlines and international airlines operating from both of these airports, including EasyJet, Ryanair, Flybe, Monarch Airways, British Airways, Air France and Lufthansa. You can get to virtually anywhere in the world from one of these airports, from Europe to Australia, Asia to America.

 

Gatwick and Heathrow are great for those living in the south of England, but those living in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales may find getting to London to fly is a little inconvenient. Fortunately, there are a number of equally impressive UK airports in other parts of the country. Belfast Airport offers numerous bargain flights for those travelling from Northern Ireland, Aberdeen, Glasgow Prestwick and Edinburgh airports will be more convenient for people living in Scotland, and Cardiff Airport is the closest international airport if you live in Wales. Whichever UK airport is closest to you, you can find low-cost flights using the directline-flights search facility.
