Insights & trends for London to Zimbabwe flights
Data-powered insights to help you find the cheapest flights, the best time to fly and much more.
How much is a return flight from London to Zimbabwe?
Return flights from London to Zimbabwe typically cost between £653 and £865 in August, though fares move with demand, season and how early you book. The lowest fare our search found recently was £623 — a great price and well below the usual range, so a price near this is worth grabbing. Keeping your dates flexible and comparing nearby days is the easiest way to land at the cheaper end.
What is the cheapest day to fly to Zimbabwe?
The cheapest day to depart to Zimbabwe is usually Tuesday, when fares start from around £661 — midweek departures tend to be quieter and cheaper. Wednesday is typically the most expensive day to fly out (around £740), as weekend travel is popular with leisure and business travellers alike. Where your plans allow, moving your outbound to a cheaper weekday can noticeably lower the total fare.
What is the cheapest time of day to fly to Zimbabwe?
Flights to Zimbabwe are generally cheapest departing in the morning, with fares from around £604. Departures in midday tend to cost more (about £661), as those slots are more convenient and in higher demand. Picking an off-peak departure time is a simple way to trim the price without changing your dates.
What is the cheapest London airport to fly to Zimbabwe from?
The cheapest return flights to Zimbabwe depart from London Gatwick (LGW), from around £606. London has several airports serving this route and fares can vary between them — Stansted (STN) is often the priciest at around £730. It's worth checking which London airport is both cheapest and most convenient for you before booking.
Can I save money by flying with a stopover to Zimbabwe?
Yes — for Zimbabwe you can often save by taking a stopover: 1-stop fares start from around £638, compared with about £1024 to fly direct. The trade-off is a longer total journey with a connection, so weigh the saving against the extra travel time. If budget matters more to you than speed, a 1-stop option is worth considering.
Average return fare to Zimbabwe by month
The cheapest month to fly from London to Zimbabwe is typically May, with return economy fares from £623. Fares are usually highest in August (around £1293). Figures are indicative, from sampled live fares, and change with demand.

| Fare type | Hand baggage | Checked baggage |

Packing & baggage tips
- Full-service carriers (e.g. British Airways, Turkish Airlines, KLM) usually include a checked bag on long-haul economy fares; basic/low-cost fares often don't.
- Cabin (hand) bag size is commonly around 56 × 45 × 25 cm — confirm your airline's limit before you pack.
- Liquids in hand luggage must be in containers of 100 ml or less, inside one clear resealable bag.
- Weigh your bags at home — airport excess-baggage fees are far higher than pre-booked allowances.
- Extra or heavier bags are almost always cheaper added online in advance than at the airport.
