Flights From Cyprus to London
Cyprus to London: Transport Guide
Flights from Cyprus to London usually last around 7 hours and 30 minutes. Since Ercan International Airport (ECN) is only open for flights to and from Turkey, you will need to take a connecting flight from Turkey. Yet, even though layover times are often brief, they can provide a unique opportunity to explore and experience the charm of tourist cities like Antalya or Istanbul. As your journey involves a connection in Turkey, it is important to be aware of potential visa requirements. Depending on your nationality, you may need a transit visa for Turkey. Typically, if you remain in the designated transit area and do not pass through Turkish immigration, a visa is not required. However, for those wishing to leave the airport to explore the city, securing a visa beforehand may be necessary.
