London is served by a network of airports with different roles and price perceptions. Heathrow (LHR) functions as the city’s main international hub, hosting many full-service carriers and long-haul flights; it’s about 15–25 miles from central London, reachable by the Heathrow Express (15–20 minutes, premium fares), the Piccadilly Line tube (45–60 minutes, lower cost) and taxis (30–60 minutes depending on traffic). Gatwick (LGW) is a large international and leisure gateway popular with low-cost and charter operators as well as some legacy airlines; it lies roughly 25–30 miles south and is linked by Gatwick Express or regular trains (30–45 minutes) and coach services. Stansted (STN) and Luton (LTN) serve many budget carriers and point-to-point European routes, positioned 35–45 miles north/northwest; both offer express trains and coaches into central London (35–60 minutes) and are often perceived as cheaper but can require longer transfers. London City (LCY) is a compact, business-oriented airport very close to Canary Wharf and the financial district (10–15 minutes by DLR), primarily handling business jets and short-haul flights with restricted aircraft types. Overall, trade-offs include Heathrow’s broad connectivity and higher costs versus the budget-friendly fares and longer surface transfers from Stansted, Luton and Gatwick; public transport options are plentiful but journey times and fares vary by airport and time of day.

Fly direct from London to Helsinki for the quickest, most convenient way to bridge the UK and Finland — fewer hassles, no long layovers, and more time to enjoy your trip. Direct services shave hours off travel time and offer a more comfortable journey, though connecting options can sometimes be cheaper if you’re watching the budget. Book a nonstop flight to maximize convenience and arrive ready to explore Helsinki sooner.

Helsinki is served primarily by Helsinki Airport (HEL), Finland’s main international gateway and a Nordic transfer hub that handles a mix of full-service carriers and low-cost airlines. Located about 17–20 km north of the city centre, travel times are typically 25–35 minutes by direct train (commuter and airport trains) or 30–45 minutes by taxi, with public-transport fares generally moderate and taxis costing more. Bus services provide slightly cheaper transfers with longer journey times. The airport is modern and well-equipped for connections, which can make it comfortable for international itineraries, while fares to/from Helsinki can vary and may be perceived as mid-range for Northern Europe. Pros: efficient links and good facilities; cons: distance adds a short transfer and taxi costs can be relatively high.

The cost of a one-way flight from London to Helsinki ranges from $45 (January 2026) to $103 (February 2026). On average, the ticket price is about $71–$145.
