Santorini flight FAQs
You can fly from London Heathrow (LHR) or London City (LCY) to Santorini Airport (JTR) in just 4 hours.
The cheapest month to fly to Santorini is in March. Peak season is from June to early September.
Santorini is one of the most popular places to visit in Greece, and the prices can reflect that if you go in the summer peak season. Visit in the spring or late fall and you’ll still be able to enjoy the sunshine, but save money on flights and accommodation.
Once you touch down at Santorini Airport (JTR), catch an airport bus direct to the island capital of Fira where you can change buses for other towns. Taxis can be easily found outside the airport terminal and many hotels offer private transfers. The journey from the airport to Fira takes around 15 minutes.
If you want to explore the island on your own time, simply hire a car with British Airways and collect Avios on every rental.
Famous for its sunsets and the breath-taking landscape of whitewashed Cycladic houses on cliffs, this volcanic island seems to magically emerge from the turquoise sea.
