Duesseldorf to London flights

British Airways and Eurowings, which has its main hub at Düsseldorf, run direct services to London.

The flight usually takes around 1 hour and 20 minutes, and landing at London City rather than Heathrow can shave a little time off the journey. Cheap flights from Düsseldorf to London start from £43.

Flights depart from Düsseldorf Airport (DUS), the city's primary international gateway located just over 4 miles from the centre. You can reach the terminals in about 15 minutes by taxi or use the S11 S-Bahn line from the central station. The airport features two railway stations; the Flughafen Fernbahnhof serves long-distance Intercity trains, while the S-Bahn station is located directly beneath terminal C.

As the main hub for Eurowings, the airport is well-organised for short-haul European departures. Passengers can access a range of services including free Wi-Fi, duty-free shops, and various lounges before boarding their flights from Düsseldorf to London. If you are driving, the airport is easily accessible via the A44 motorway.

London is served by multiple airports for arrivals from Germany, including Heathrow (LHR), Stansted (STN), and London City (LCY). If landing at Heathrow, the Heathrow Express reaches Paddington Station in 15 minutes, while the Piccadilly Line offers a direct tube link to Piccadilly Circus in approximately 45 minutes. For those arriving at Stansted, the Stansted Express connects to London Liverpool Street in 45 minutes, and National Express coaches provide transfers to Victoria Station.

London City Airport is the closest to the centre, situated less than 9 miles away. The Docklands Light Railway (DLR) connects the terminal to Canning Town, where you can transfer to the Jubilee Line. Taxis and private hire vehicles are available at all terminals, though journey times to central London can vary significantly based on traffic conditions.
