Tips for UK and Irish travellers
- London has six airports – always compare Stansted, Luton and Gatwick, not only Heathrow.
- Low-cost fares often include only a small under-seat bag, so check cabin baggage rules before booking.
- School holiday weeks are the most expensive – travelling just before or after them usually saves money.
