Jersey to London flights

The island's only airport, in the parish of Saint Peter, handles every departure from Jersey to London. British Airways flies to Heathrow and easyJet to Gatwick, and with the flight taking about 1 hour, Channel Island residents can reach the capital quickly. Check-in times are short, too. Cheap flights from Jersey to London start from £15.

Whether you are travelling for business or a shopping trip, various airlines offer both direct and connecting options to suit your schedule. Booking cheap tickets to London from Jersey is simple when you compare the multiple daily rotations available to different London airports.

Flights depart from Jersey Airport (JER), about 5 miles from Saint Helier. The terminal is easy to navigate, and car hire services operate there.

When landing at Gatwick Airport (LGW), the Gatwick Express train is the fastest way into the city, reaching Victoria Station in approximately 30 minutes. If your flight arrives at Heathrow Airport (LHR), you can take the Elizabeth Line for a direct connection to central hubs or the Heathrow Express to Paddington Station, which takes about 15 minutes. London City Airport (LCY) is the closest to the centre, linked by the DLR to the London Underground network.

For other arrivals, Luton (LTN) and Stansted (STN) offer dedicated rail links and coach services that drop off at major stations like Liverpool Street or Victoria. Taxis and private hire vehicles are available at designated pick-up points outside every terminal. Car hire is also an option for those looking to explore beyond the city at their own pace.

Entry requirements for London

As Jersey is part of the Common Travel Area (CTA), British and Irish citizens do not require a passport to travel to London, although a form of photographic identification is usually required by airlines for check-in. Non-CTA nationals should ensure they have a valid passport and, if necessary, the correct visa for entry into the United Kingdom.

There are no routine immigration checks for travellers arriving from Jersey, but you should always carry your ID. Customs regulations still apply, so be aware of the duty-free allowances for goods brought into mainland Britain from the Channel Islands.

London offers an endless variety of experiences, from the major department stores of Oxford Street to the historic landmarks of the South Bank. You can escape the city pace with a stroll through Hyde Park or explore the royal history at the Tower of London, home to the Crown Jewels. For a panoramic view of the skyline, the London Eye provides a unique perspective of the Thames and the surrounding city.
