FAQs for booking flights from London to Osaka

  • How can I get from Osaka airports to the centre of the city?

    From Kobe Airport, you can get the Portliner local train to Sannomiya station, where you can change for your onward journey to Osaka. From Itami Airport, you can get the monorail to Senri-Chuo, where you can continue your journey using the Kita-Osaka Kyuko Railway. If you’re leaving from Kansai Airport, you can catch the Haruka Express, which stops in the centre of the city and is a very convenient way to complete your journey.

  • Are there direct flights that connect me from London airports to Osaka airports?

    Unfortunately, there are no direct flights that you can catch between London airports and airports in Osaka. However, that doesn’t mean there aren’t great options available for you that require one or more changes. You can fly from London Heathrow Airport, London Gatwick Airport or London City Airport with one change, which is often at Munich Airport (MUC), Shanghai Airport (PVG) or Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS) respectively.

  • Can I fast track through security?

    Yes, you can make sure you don’t waste time at the security gates if you are travelling from London Heathrow Airport or London Gatwick Airport. Available at all terminals at these two airports, you can expect to pay around £12.50 and £5 respectively for this benefit. Unfortunately, London City Airport does not offer a fast-track service, unless you are a first-class passenger.

  • Are there hotels at the airports I can stay in?

    If you have an early flight, you can certainly stay at a hotel to make your trip to the airport easier in the morning. At Heathrow, if you were to fly with Lufthansa, you would leave from Terminal 2, so you could stay at a hotel such as Aerotel London Heathrow, which is very conveniently located. A flight from Gatwick Airport, with China Eastern for example, departs from the North Terminal, so a stay at the Travelodge would be easy for your onwards trip; whereas the ibis Budget is very close (around 0.4 miles) to London City Airport.

  • What is the cheapest flight from London to Osaka?

    In the last 3 days, the lowest price for a flight from London to Osaka was $479 for a one-way ticket and $605 for a round-trip.

  • Do I need a passport to fly between London and Osaka?

    A passport is required to fly from London to Osaka.

  • Which aircraft models fly most regularly from London to Osaka?

    We unfortunately don’t have that data for this specific route.

  • Which airline alliances offer flights from London to Osaka?

Air China is also a great choice for the route, with an average price of $818 and an overall rating of 6.8.

  • How does KAYAK find such low prices on flights from London to Osaka?

  • What is KAYAK's "flexible dates" feature and why should I care when looking for a flight from London to Osaka?

    Sometimes travel dates aren't set in stone. If your preferred travel dates have some wiggle room, flexible dates will show you all the options when flying to Osaka from London up to 3 days before/after your preferred dates. You can then pick the flights that suit you best.

Top tips for finding a cheap flight from London to Osaka

  • There are 3 airports in London that offer fast flights to Osaka, these being London Heathrow Airport (LHR), London Gatwick Airport (LGW) and London City Airport (LCY). These serve the west, south and east of the city respectively, which may help you determine which is most convenient for you to leave from.
  • London Heathrow Airport and London City Airport are easily reached using London’s transport system, which includes buses, trains and taxis. London Gatwick is a little further afield, but it can be reached via the Gatwick Express, which takes about 30min and leaves every 15min or so.
  • Osaka is served by 3 main airports, Osaka Itami Airport (ITM), Osaka Kansai International Airport (KIX) and Kobe International Airport (UKB). These can be found to the north, east and west of the city respectively, should you want to make your onward journey more convenient.

  • Before your long flight to Japan, you can relax at Heathrow Airport or Gatwick Airport, which both offer lounges such as the Aspire lounge, where from as little as £25 per person, you can shower and enjoy complimentary drinks.

Staff was excellent. Food could use more variety. -More vegetable options. Menu didn't have juice or soda listed. -The croissants were outstanding!

Asian Vegitarian food was test less No Salt or pepper served Need to improve with Chef who can caters for Peaple from India I am sure Chef knows different varieties of food Indian People like

Flight attendants rude, they disappear for almost 3 hours not doing rounds to see what people needed. The laboratories were full of empty water cups, because they never come back to collect them.

Amazing service and fabulous syaff. Loved the jumbo jet too, comfortable.

The entertainment screens are dated and needs to be changed to new screens. Then when we got home, I found out 2 of our luggage’s were damaged (huge) and some items stolen.

I could not choose my seat prior to check in

I had the most wonderful experience from CEB bag drop through deplaning. The staff, the aircraft, food, and cabin crew were all amazing. I want to give a kudos to Marky from Mactan Cebu's Asiana airport staff for his exceptional customer service and assistance.

JetBlue's check-in was great, but there was an in-flight attendant who was very rude and unkind. I didn't realize that the bathrooms were already locked 30 mins prior to landing and needed to use the restroom. Instead of politely asking me to return, she rudely told me, 'NO, bathrooms are locked! Go back to your seat!' The JetBlue flight was more than an hour delay, which made me almost miss my connecting flight with Asiana. I understand the reasoning, but the action they took to get a hold of maintenance was time consuming. It took them more than 30 mins to get a hold of maintenance and for maintenance to get started. The Asiana flight and crew were wonderful, in general. They waited for us who were delayed from the previous flight before they took off and were very kind to take my checked baggage's info. Seats were a little uncomfortable for such long flight, but service and flight attendants were great! However, my 3 checked baggages are missing! They're lost somewhere in the transition. I'm writing this review 3 days after my arrival to the Philippines, and my 3 checked baggages, where my wedding dress is, are all still missing! I and the CEB airport crew have sent multiple emails to both JetBlue and Asiana, and neither has responded to any of our emails. Although, I was able to get in contact with JetBlue's Interline Department who confirmed that the bags were turned over to Asiana without confirmation details.

Airfare was ok . Food not good , seat ok but not comfortable. Lay over too long , crew was ok Overall just ok

The crew was amazing and really nice. The OS on the entertainment system could use an update, though. It felt old and outdated but had anything you'd need to keep busy. I usually never use it anyways, but that did stand out.

Very comfortable Prem economy seats for a long haul flight. Had a problem with the tv that the crew fixed so was great!

Cathay Pacific seems to be an airline in trouble and on its way out. Lots of broken or poorly functioning things like entertainment screens, seats, and enough well trained staff to handle a full flight. Sad...

Excellent. Planes are a little older and could get some refurbishment, but besides that everything was excellent.

The boarding experience was as expected and went well. The plane's economy seating plan is not designed for a positive customer experience but rather for company profit. When the passenger in front of me reclined, the distance from the screen to my face was the span of my hand (thumb tip to pinky fingertip). There is no such thing as personal space in this setting. This results in the domino effect, for when I recline the person in back of me reclines and so it goes. This is not to say that reclining is the answer as the experience is not increased, but simply managed.

Flight crew was especially thoughtful and attentive, made sure our seats were comfortable so we could rest on the long flight

One of the worst flight in business class by qatar airways and I’m no stranger with qatar airways businesses class, I travelled with the extensively in the past 12 years

Very comfortable flights. Not so many new releases in terms of films.

Everything went smooth. All flights were on time No changing gates, . No changing flights . It was like a completely different airlines tha n the last time I used Cathay Pacific . The last flight, 2 months ago, I had before this one was from Philippines also . I got changed in Manila and was told it only added 2 hours onto my flight . My 20 hour return trip ended up being 30 hours return with a 10.0 hour layover in New York with no seats anywhere . Everyone was sleeping or sitting on the floor . Unlike the hotel I was given in Manila to wait for this flight home . I never thought I would use Cathay Pacific again . But I did and this time you were great! I should have complained about the flight and layover from Hell a couple months ago. Consider that I am complaining about that august/23 flight now . Thank you got the great flying experience on my way home from philippines .

Flight was delayed. Drink was only offered during meal. Would have been nicer if crew walk around to offer drink after take off or in between meals.

Cathay much better than other options Imigration was a total mess on arrival in KL but not Cathay s fault

Cheapest option from Gatwick £400 cheaper than Emirates and Qatar. Entertainment no where near as good as Emirates and Qatar, but saved £400 so all good.

Great staff and food. Seats pretty uncomfortable but plenty of legroom. Entertainment system outdated.

Gatwick London-Shanghai -Bangkok.. Would have liked entertainment screens, but I know these planes are not that new. Cheap flights at the time of booking, Emirates wanted double so you get what you paid for. I would fly again with them, but if Emirates was the same price I would go with them.

We were cutting it close on our connecting flight and notified all staff at departing gate and flight attendants. From the start, we were told to check in with the international transfer desk by everyone, except for one lady who wanted to argue the time difference that was already taken into account. We also asked if we could try to exit the plane first (our family of 4 and 8 others on the same connecting flight). They just told us to check in with international transfers. We landed and had very little time to make our next flight. We were not offered any assistance or communication to the receiving gate. We ran all the way to the international transfers gate only to be turned away. I think we could have made it if we were allowed to exit and a call was made to other check in counter. After that we spent 6 grueling hours with our kids trying to rebook a flight. No food of any type of compensation was offered besides a dirty hotel room. The ladies with China Eastern at the Shanghai International counter were rude an unhelpful. We were directed to 3 different counters and waited before they said they forgot about a hotel. It was a long, miserable day. I believe this could have all been avoided.

The landings were smooth . Being unable to check-in online was terribly stressful and the queue at Haneda exemely long. We paid extra for window seats and did not get them.

How do you run out of beer after one hour of a twelve hour flight?!

Flight was fine, however we were not able to check in online, this adds to travel stress. Luckily check-in at Heathrow was quick, but we did not get the seats we paid extra for. We paid for a window and 2 aisle seats from Shanghai to Tokyo leg, but they changed us to middle seats. Not good :(

Again, I was presented with birthday pastries two times as a celebrated my birthday on both legs of my trip. I will keep flying to China using China Eastern airlines. As they made this trip a special one thank you.

2 hours delay on the 1st plane out of the day!!!!!

Pros: "Price"
Cons: "Hotel provided was ok but I expected more . The wait to get to the hotel was way too long and people at airport were not helpful. There was no clear instructions on where to wait, who we were to deal with . The directions were misleading."
Cons: "Everything was great. Very nice and friendly crew, clean plane, great food. Excellent overall"
Pros: "Because of our delay, we flew with Air Thai instead of Air China....much better airline"
Pros: "The crew was accommodating during the flight but spoke very little English and could not help with information on connecting flight."
Cons: "We missed our connecting flight due to a delay and the airline would not let us through because we could have made our second flight...."
Pros: "The price"
Cons: "Staff was not helpful and kind of rude unless you spoke their language. Food options were terrible and not very comfortable seat for 13+ hr flight."
Cons: "Connecting though Beijing from Taipei to LAX is not recommended if you can avoid it!"
Pros: "The food was good. It was nice that they supply wet hot towels before each meal. The seat was comfortable with the price I paid for. The rest room is nice and clean and quite spacious. The L’occitane toiletery bag was nice."
Cons: "It would be nice to supply mouthwash in the rest room. It would be nice to have a foot step at the bottom to open the trash container. The comforter is not washed and smells."
Cons: "Even for business class there is no TV screen on each seat. Just one small TV screen on the ceiling for a few rows to share. It would be much better with TV screen on each seat. I was sitting in the first row business class and the air hostess skipped me and didn’t give me a slipper. She gave me a used slipper at the end only without a packet. This is unprofessional to treat a business class passenger"
Cons: "Seats are narrow, leg room limited, and food is minimal."
Cons: "Seats are narrow, leg room poor, and food service is minimal."
Pros: "The crew was okay. The seating was great on all except for one leg."
Cons: "On one leg, it must have been an older plane, because the business class seats barely reclined."
