What is the cheapest month to fly to Asia?
indicative
On average, September is the cheapest month to fly to Asia, with return fares around £161, and March is another good-value option at about £168. Prices peak in July, when return tickets average around £315 because of higher demand. If your travel dates are flexible, shifting your trip into a cheaper month can save you a meaningful amount.
What is the cheapest day to fly to Asia?
The cheapest day to depart to Asia is usually Tuesday, when fares start from around £155 — midweek departures tend to be quieter and cheaper. Monday is typically the most expensive day to fly out (around £162), as weekend travel is popular with leisure and business travellers alike. Where your plans allow, moving your outbound to a cheaper weekday can noticeably lower the total fare.
What is the cheapest time of day to fly to Asia?
Flights to Asia are generally cheapest departing in midday, with fares from around £157. Departures in the morning tend to cost more (about £211), as those slots are more convenient and in higher demand. Picking an off-peak departure time is a simple way to trim the price without changing your dates.
What is the cheapest London airport to fly to Asia from?
The cheapest return flights to Asia depart from London Stansted (STN), from around £138. London has several airports serving this route and fares can vary between them — Heathrow (LHR) is often the priciest at around £199. It's worth checking which London airport is both cheapest and most convenient for you before booking.
Can I save money by flying with a stopover to Asia?
For Asia, prices are generally cheapest when you fly direct, with fares from around £154 versus about £206 for a 1-stop itinerary. A direct flight also saves you time and the hassle of a connection, so it's usually the better all-round choice on this route. Stopovers only tend to pay off here if a particular date or airline happens to be cheaper.
How far in advance should I book a flight to Asia?
To get a below-average price to Asia, aim to book roughly 4 weeks before departure, when fares tend to dip to around £162. Leaving it to the final week is usually the most expensive time to buy, costing about 12% more, as availability tightens. Booking extremely far ahead isn't always cheaper either, so a few weeks to a couple of months out is typically the sweet spot.

Excellent airline with great service, comfortable flights, free Wi-Fi, and fantastic entertainment. The five-star hotel and transfers in Istanbul made my trip even better. Highly recommended!

About flights to Asia
Overview of flying to Asia
Asia is the world's largest and most varied continent — from the temples and beaches of the south to the megacities of the east and the mountains of the Himalayas. For UK travellers it offers culture, cuisine, adventure and family connections, with excellent flight links to gateways right across the region.
Best time to visit
The best time depends on where you're going: November to March suits much of South and Southeast Asia, while spring and autumn are ideal for East Asia. Monsoon seasons vary by country. The price charts on this page reveal the cheapest dates for your route.
Popular countries & cities
India (Delhi, Mumbai): history, colour and unforgettable food.
Thailand (Bangkok): temples, beaches and buzzing street life.
Pakistan (Islamabad, Lahore): heritage and family travel.
Sri Lanka (Colombo): tea country, beaches and wildlife.
Malaysia & Singapore: modern cities and tropical islands.
Airlines and routes
UK travellers reach Asia direct or via a single hub. British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, Emirates, Qatar Airways, Etihad, Singapore Airlines and Turkish Airlines serve the region from London, Manchester and other UK airports.
Top tips for finding cheap flights to Asia
Book several weeks to a few months ahead for the best long-haul value.
Compare Gulf-hub connections — they often beat direct fares.
Travel outside festival and monsoon peaks where possible.
Be flexible with dates and consider regional UK airports.
Travel essentials
Visa rules vary by country — many (e.g. India) offer a quick e-Visa. Always check requirements before you fly.
Currencies differ by country; carry the local currency for each destination.

Packing & baggage tips
Full-service carriers (e.g. British Airways, Turkish Airlines, KLM) usually include a checked bag on long-haul economy fares; basic/low-cost fares often don't.
Cabin (hand) bag size is commonly around 56 × 45 × 25 cm — confirm your airline's limit before you pack.
Liquids in hand luggage must be in containers of 100 ml or less, inside one clear resealable bag.
Weigh your bags at home — airport excess-baggage fees are far higher than pre-booked allowances.
Extra or heavier bags are almost always cheaper added online in advance than at the airport.
