The lowest fare our search found recently was £395 — 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 Kuwait?

Thursday is typically the most expensive day to fly out (around £395), 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 Kuwait?
Flights to Kuwait are generally cheapest departing in the afternoon, with fares from around £381. Departures in midday tend to cost more (about £443), as those slots are more convenient and in higher demand.

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 Kuwait?
Yes — for Kuwait you can often save by taking a stopover: 1-stop fares start from around £381, compared with about £491 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.

About flights to Kuwait
Overview
Kuwait is a compact, oil-rich state at the top of the Arabian Gulf, where glass towers overlook a calm bay and the old souqs still trade in gold, spices and oud. For UK travellers it works well as a long weekend or a Gulf stopover, with a direct flight from London taking a little over six hours. Trips centre on Kuwait City, a modern, walkable capital known for its waterfront corniche, museums and excellent Gulf and Levantine food. The country is dry, so plan for alcohol-free evenings.
Best time to fly to Kuwait
The comfortable season runs from November to March, when daytime temperatures sit in the high teens to mid-20s Celsius and evenings turn cool. This is the best time for sightseeing, and fares over Christmas and February half-term rise, so check the When to book chart above first. From June to September temperatures often pass 45°C, which keeps prices lower if you can handle the heat. Seats also tighten around Ramadan and Eid, when many residents travel.
Main gateway cities & airports
Nearly all UK travellers arrive into Kuwait International Airport (KWI), about 16km south of the centre and a 20–30 minute taxi from the main hotels. It is the country's only commercial passenger airport, so every direct and connecting flight from the UK lands here.
Airlines and routes
British Airways and Kuwait Airways both fly direct from London Heathrow to Kuwait, with a typical flying time of about six and a half hours. Jazeera Airways, Kuwait's low-cost carrier, has also served London. There are no direct flights from Manchester, Birmingham or Edinburgh, so you would connect through a hub such as Doha with Qatar Airways, Dubai with Emirates, Abu Dhabi with Etihad or Istanbul with Turkish Airlines. Allow around nine to thirteen hours from Manchester with one stop, and compare direct and connecting options in the price charts on this page.
Popular places to visit in Kuwait
- Kuwait Towers: the national landmark, with a viewing sphere high above the Gulf.
- Souq Al-Mubarakiya: historic covered market for spices, dates, gold and street food.
- Grand Mosque: Kuwait's largest place of worship, with free guided tours by arrangement.
- The Scientific Center: one of the region's largest aquariums, plus an IMAX and dhow harbour.
- Failaka Island: a short ferry ride to Bronze Age and Hellenistic ruins and wartime relics.
Top tips for finding cheap flights to Kuwait
- Book roughly two to four months ahead for winter travel; Gulf fares rarely drop at the last minute.
- Use the When to book chart above to spot the cheapest weeks and set a price alert.
- Weigh a direct Heathrow flight against a one-stop from your local airport, as connecting fares are often lower even with a domestic leg added.
- Travel in shoulder months like October or April for near-winter weather without peak prices.
Travel essentials
UK passport holders normally need a tourist visa for Kuwait, usually an eVisa arranged online before departure, though visa-on-arrival is available at times; check the latest FCDO advice and carry a passport with at least six months' validity. The currency is the Kuwaiti dinar (KWD), one of the world's highest-valued currencies, and cards are widely accepted. Kuwait is three hours ahead of the UK. Book a few months ahead for winter and use the price charts on this page for live fare trends.
Baggage & hand-luggage allowance for flights to Kuwait
Your allowance to Kuwait depends on the airline and the fare you book. The table below shows typical long-haul allowances so you know roughly what to expect — always confirm the exact limits with your airline before you fly.
| Fare type | Hand baggage | Checked baggage |
|---|---|---|
| Basic / Light economy | 1 small under-seat bag | Usually none — add for a fee |
| Standard economy | 1 cabin bag + 1 personal item | Typically 1 × 23 kg |
| Premium economy | 1–2 cabin bags + personal item | Typically 2 × 23 kg |
| Business / First | 2 cabin bags + personal item | Typically 2 × 32 kg |
Indicative only. Allowances vary by airline, route and fare — always check your airline's baggage policy.
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.
