The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- Christmas lights, Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park and festive markets
- Delta leaves Omaha 5:38 PM, lands London 11:40 AM Friday
- Four Points Flex rated 8 from 1,335 reviews, free cancellation
The catch: There's one stop and 12h 2m of travel on the way out, rain shows for Dec 4 and Dec 7, and a checked bag is about $140 for two.
Worth it if you want museums, theatre and Christmas markets and don't mind the cold; skip it if you need a nonstop or sunshine.
Worth it if you can live with one stop and a gray, chilly week. The total is $3,183 for two, all in: Delta flights at $1,922, Four Points Flex by Sheraton London Shoreditch East at $1,081, and $180 in fees paid at the hotel, with taxes included. The dates are Dec 3–8, 2026, for 5 nights, on Delta with one stop and 12h 2m outbound; a checked bag and spending money aren't in that total.

Why now
Numbers first: $3,183 for two, all in, covers Delta flights at $961 per person and 5 nights at Four Points Flex by Sheraton London Shoreditch East, including $180 in fees paid at the hotel. That $961 fare is the lowest of the 2 checks we've run on this route in the last 30 days. It's the price we found, and we can't promise it will hold. Early December is when London puts on Christmas: the lights, Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park and the festive markets. Expect highs of 46–49°F and lows near 39°F, with rain on Dec 4 and Dec 7, so pack a warm coat and save the museums for the wet afternoons. Five nights gives you room for the Tower, a West End show and a slow morning at Borough Market without rushing any of it.
The kind of trip this is
This is a winter city break for two: museums, theatre, pubs and markets, with Christmas lights over the streets. It suits a couple or two friends who like to walk a city and duck indoors when it rains. You set the pace: one big sight a day, a long lunch, a show at night. There's no language barrier, just a 6-hour time change to sleep off.
