London from Salt Lake City, Dec 3–8: $2,782 for two, all in
The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- $867 per person, $192 below the typical fare on this route
- Moxy London Stratford: 8.4 from 4,441 reviews, free cancellation
- Christmas lights, Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park and festive markets
The catch: The outbound has 3 stops and takes 52h 57m into STN, and a checked bag is about $240 for two, not in the total.
Worth it if you'll trade a long 3-stop flight for a Christmas-lights week in London; skip it if you need a short, simple trip.
Worth it if you can live with a long 3-stop flight: $2,782 for two, all in, is the flights at $1,734 plus Moxy London Stratford at $1,048, taxes and fees included. That covers Dec 3–8, 2026, 5 nights, on F9 + FI + FR, not nonstop. Checked bags and spending money aren't in that total.

Why now
The fare is $867 per person, $192 below the typical fare on this route of $1,059. That's 18% under, and it's the lowest in 30 days of our checks. Across 12 offers we saw, fares ran from $867 to $982 per person. Early December is when London puts up its Christmas lights, opens Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park and fills up with festive markets, so the season does a lot of the work for you. Expect typical highs of 46–49°F and lows near 39°F, with rain on Dec 4 and Dec 7 in the seasonal normals, so plan the museums for wet afternoons. The $2,782 for two covers flights and the hotel; plan on about $1,900 more for spending, or $190 per person a day. These prices are what we found when we checked and they can change.
The kind of trip this is
A winter city break built on culture, history and food: museums, theatre, palaces and pubs, with the festive markets and lights as the backdrop. It suits a couple or two friends who like to walk all day and duck indoors when it drizzles. The pace is full but flexible, with a show or afternoon tea filling the dark early evenings. Plan for coats and comfortable shoes rather than sunglasses.
