Flights for under 100: the cheapest destinations to visit from London this February

"British post-holiday chatter is frequently peppered with remarks and references to the pennies saved once we return home with more loose change than expected, our bellies as full as our hearts after days ticking a new destination off of the ever-growing bucket list. As any thrifty traveller knows, it's all in the planning - yet it's the endless search and consequential indecision that all too often keeps the trip in the group chat. Faff no more, we say!"

"Milan has long been one of the most affordable flight routes from London and, surprisingly, the arrival of the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026 hasn't changed that. Hotel rates may be higher than usual across the city, although Condé Nast Traveller's guide to the cheapest, nicest hotels in Milan may help with that. If in doubt, use Italy's fashion capital as a launchpad, whizzing into Milan's beating heart to soak up the sporting action over lunch (with a couple of attractions, hand-luggage-only-permitting)"

"Imagine sweeping views of the winding Danube River and the frosty vineyards beyond from a castle turret, or slow afternoons feasting your way through cobblestone streets before settling into a bar as folk music welcomes the evening crowd. Bratislava remains one of Europe's most underrated, affordable gems, and is an excellent choice for a February escape. Best of all, you may be well ahead of the crowds."

British travellers often return from affordable trips with extra loose change and full hearts after ticking destinations off bucket lists. Careful planning helps thrifty travellers secure bargains and avoid indecision that stalls trips. The cheapest destinations from London in February include short-haul options suitable for fans of winter sport, city breaks, and mild coastal escapes. Milan remains a consistently affordable route despite the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Games, though hotel rates may rise. Fast train links from Milan enable day trips to Lake Como and Verona. Bratislava offers Danube views, cobbled streets, folk-music evenings and low-season advantages for February visitors.
