Why Cyprus

Larnaca or Paphos — then pick the coast

Cyprus is two useful airports and several different holidays. Larnaca (LCA) handles most east and south-east resorts. Paphos (PFO) is the west-coast door. Confirm the code before you buy a night flight that dumps you on the wrong side of the island with a two-hour coach still to go.

From the UK the airborne part is typically around four and a half hours. Direct flights are common in summer and thinner in winter. There are no live prices on this page. Add bags and the airport-to-resort transfer before you rank a low-cost seat.

Airport transfers — quick guide

  • LCA: Match east-coast resorts here — cross-island taxis eat a short holiday.
  • PFO: Better for western resorts; painful if you then drive to Ayia Napa.

Larnaca (LCA) versus Paphos (PFO)

Larnaca (LCA) is the island’s main international airport, close to Larnaca town and the usual landing for Ayia Napa, Protaras and much of the east. Paphos (PFO) serves the west: Kato Paphos, Coral Bay and hotels that actually mean Paphos on the booking screen.

Limassol sits between them. A cheaper fare into the farther airport is not a bargain once the transfer is honest. Partner searches should resolve to the code that matches your hotel, not a generic Cyprus label.

easyJet, Ryanair, Jet2, TUI and Cyprus Airways appear. Compare LCA (Larnaca) vs PFO (Paphos) against your resort.

Non-stop versus a stopover

From the UK, non-stops into LCA or PFO are common in the summer season and more mixed in winter. A connection via Athens or a Gulf hub is rarely the first choice unless it restores bags or matches a regional UK departure. From farther away, one-stop is normal.

When the island is busy

UK school holidays, Easter and July–August firm up both seats and east-coast rooms. May–June and September–October often balance swimming weather with saner transfers. Winter is quieter; some beach tavernas close.

Transfers, cars and the rest of the week

Prebooked transfers beat arguing with a meter at 01:00. A hire car pays off for Akamas and Troodos, not for a lagoon-pool week. Use the Cyprus stays guide before you lock the airport. Related sun: London–Heraklion.

Flights to Cyprus — FAQs

Which airport should I use for Cyprus?

Larnaca (LCA) for Larnaca town, Ayia Napa, Protaras and much of the east. Paphos (PFO) for west-coast hotels. Confirm the code on the ticket.

How long is the flight from the UK?

Typically around four and a half hours non-stop from London or Manchester. Check live block times for your airport.

Do I need a stopover?

From most of the UK in summer, no. Use a connection when it is clearly cheaper all-in or when winter frequencies thin.

When are Cyprus fares usually lower?

Shoulder months either side of peak summer, and winter weeks if you accept quieter beaches. Easter and UK school holidays need earlier searching.

How long is the flight to Cyprus?

Non-stop block time is usually about 4 hours 30–5 hours. Door-to-door is longer once you add departure-airport transfers, security and the hop into Cyprus after landing.

Which airlines fly to Cyprus?

easyJet, Ryanair, Jet2, TUI and Cyprus Airways appear. Compare LCA (Larnaca) vs PFO (Paphos) against your resort.

What fees should I add before comparing Cyprus fares?

Add cabin bag, hold bag, seats and payment fees, then the hop to your departure airport and the transfer after you land. Personal-item-only fares often look cheapest until those extras are included.

When should I book flights to Cyprus?

For ordinary dates, start comparing about three to eight weeks ahead. School holidays, events and peak leisure weeks need earlier searching — confirm on live partner results.

Which Cyprus airport should I use?

Match the airport to your hotel or resort. A cheaper ticket into a distant airport can lose once coach time and a lost evening are included — especially on a short break or late arrival.
