London from Savannah, Dec 3–8: $3,552 for two, all in
The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- Christmas lights, Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park and festive markets in December
- $960 per person, $350 below the highest fare we saw
- The Drey scores 8.3 from 1,125 reviews, near Kensington's museums
The catch: It's 2 stops and 41h 44m of total travel time round trip, and a checked bag is about $180 for two on top.
Worth it if you want museums, theatre and Christmas markets and can handle a long trip over; skip it if you need a nonstop.
Worth it if a long travel day doesn't bother you. The total is $3,552 for two: flights at $1,920, The Drey - Kensington, Earl's Court at $1,419 and its $213 in property fees, with taxes and fees included, but not checked bags or spending money. It's Dec 3–8, 2026, 5 nights, on JetBlue (B6) with 2 stops, so not nonstop.

Why now
At $960 per person, $350 below the highest fare we saw for these dates, this fare is 27% under the top of the 12 offers we checked. The whole trip comes to $3,552 for two, all in. Early December is when London puts up its Christmas lights, opens Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park and runs festive markets, so the city is lit up through the short days. Expect highs of 46–49°F and lows near 39°F. The seasonal normals show rain on Dec 4 and Dec 7, so plan museums and theatre for those days and save the long park walks for the others. Five nights is enough for the Tower, a West End show and Borough Market without rushing. These prices were all in when we found them, and they can change before you book.
The kind of trip this is
A winter city trip built on culture: museums that are mostly free, royal history, a West End show, a long graze through Borough Market and a pub when it rains. It suits a couple or two friends who like to walk, eat well and duck indoors. The pace is easy, one or two big sights a day, in a city that speaks your language.
