Peak Season:

The summer months of late May through to August are usually the best times to visit Brighton with temperatures averaging around 17 degrees, although you can never be sure about the British weather. Book flights to Brighton at this time to experience one of the many summer events that Brighton is home to such as TAKEPART Festival in June, Love Supreme Festival in July and the Tribal Earth Festival in August. Thousands fly into the UK and flock in high numbers to Brighton in July to get involved in the world’s biggest free beach and watersports festival, Paddle Round the Pier. The festival takes place annually at the beautiful venue of Hove Lawns and Brighton Hove, and features a program of fun events for everyone from novice to serious athletes such as surfing, paddling boarding, kayaking, windsurfing, kite surfing, mountain biking, live music, kids entertainment and many more unusual sporting events to dabble in.

However one of the biggest, fabulous and most famous event that takes place in August is Brighton’s Summer Pride which is considered as the best Pride festival in the UK. It is harder to find cheap flights to Brighton during this period because they are in high demand, people flock to the city to join over 160,000 spectators and participants who come together to celebrate everything extravagant, magnificent and marvellous about the parade; and people will continue partying, dancing and singing late into the night in many of the popular and buzzing bars the seaside town has to offer.

Off Season:

The busiest periods in Brighton are during summer, weekends and school holidays, when Brighton sees families, couples and friends travel to the seaside town to enjoy a break. Cooler temperatures arrive in Brighton in October until April, with temperatures averaging from 5 to 12 degrees. This is when you are more likely to find the best deals and a cheap flight to Brighton.

Flight was delayed 2 hours due to technical issues they were having at Zurich airport according to the swiss agent when I called. This caused my connection flight to be unviable. The swiss agent was helpful in finding me a partner airline to fulfill my need to get to final destination in eastern Europe. However, the only flight the agent was originally able to find me was a connecting flight through Frankfurt with a 7 hour layover and not only that but they didnt have space on the flight without upgrading me to a higher cabin class at my expense of 384 euro. I asked if this could be waived since the technical issues were not my fault from the beginning and the agent stated they arent. I ended up paying the extra 384 euro for the agent to call me back an hour later stating he found another flight through Munich with only an hour and a half layover which was great, but when I asked for the 384 euros to be refunded he stated that was included in the price difference for this flight and there was nothing he could do about that. I feel like I got scammed out of that 384 euros as that was a cabin upgrade for a flight I never ended up taking that was supposed to be my replacement for an error they were having on their end. I am grateful for the agent finding me replacement flights that worked in my favor time wise but not in being swindled out of extra charges. I also paid 85 USD to "pick my seats" (which honestly feels like a cash grab on behalf of airlines these days anyways) on my original swiss flight that I did not receive back either since I could not pick my seats on the replacement flights as well. Way to use flight delays for swindling your customers Swiss. Kayak was great as usual but I did not have any communications with Kayak directly for this ordeal it was all through Swiss airlines.

I feel like I got scammed out of that 384 euros as that was a cabin upgrade for a flight I never ended up taking that was supposed to be my replacement for an error they were having on their end. I am grateful for the agent finding me replacement flights that worked in my favor time wise but not in being swindled out of extra charges. I also paid 85 USD to "pick my seats" (which honestly feels like a cash grab on behalf of airlines these days anyways) on my original swiss flight that I did not receive back either since I could not pick my seats on the replacement flights as well. Way to use flight delays for swindling your customers Swiss. Kayak was great as usual but I did not have any communications with Kayak directly for this ordeal it was all through Swiss airlines.

Flight was delayed 2 hours due to technical issues they were having at Zurich airport according to the swiss agent when I called. This caused my connection flight to be unviable. The swiss agent was helpful in finding me a partner airline to fulfill my need to get to final destination in eastern Europe. However, the only flight the agent was originally able to find me was a connecting flight through Frankfurt with a 7 hour layover and not only that but they didnt have space on the flight without upgrading me to a higher cabin class at my expense of 384 euro. I asked if this could be waived since the technical issues were not my fault from the beginning and the agent stated they arent. I ended up paying the extra 384 euro for the agent to call me back an hour later stating he found another flight through Munich with only an hour and a half layover which was great, but when I asked for the 384 euros to be refunded he stated that was included in the price difference for this flight and there was nothing he could do about that.

Destination overview:

Also known as “London on Sea,” take a flight to Brighton and discover the coolest seaside destination on the South Coast. Popular since Regency times, Brighton’s architecture is particularly appealing, with winding streets (known as “the lanes”), packed full of trendy, arty and eclectic shops and cafés that lead down to the seafront. The hub of the town is Palace Pier, the seafront and its famous pebbled beach.

The Brighton Pavilion is an impressive affair; it looks like it belongs in a Far Eastern fairy-tale. It was built by the Prince Regent in 1815, in the style of the Taj Mahal. Visitors can tour the building to see its interiors and gardens.

The liberal attitude that the Prince Regent brought to Brighton lives on today. It is known as the “gay capital” of the UK and the area of Kemptown (along King’s Cliff to Black Rock) is full of bars and clubs that fly the rainbow-coloured flag.

Getting around Brighton

Those visiting Brighton will usually take a flight to London Gatwick Airport(LGW), located 28 miles (42 km) from Brighton, it is the closet airport to the city. It’s approximately a 50-minute drive away or you can travel on the Gatwick Express from inside the airport but expect to make changes to different trains along your journey.

What is good to know if travelling to Brighton?

  • Brighton Pavilion was the Prince Regent’s idea of a good place to host a party. Its interesting towers dominate the town, and when you do the tour you find that it is just as gloriously lavish and over the top on the inside, too.
  • Shop in the Lanes for all kinds of unusual and artistic things. All the chain stores are here, but there are many independent and unusual shops as well. This is a lively place with an active artistic and social life, and the largest gay club scene in England.
  • Buy some Brighton Rock from the Palace Pier. Then walk along the beach and throw pebbles into the sea. There’s no sand and they land with a satisfying splosh.
  • How long is the flight to Brighton?

    Flights to Brighton from other parts of the UK range from about 1.5h-4h. When your destination city is Brighton, you’ll fly into London’s Gatwick Airport. Your flight will be on the longer end of the spectrum if you experience layovers along your journey. When departing from cities that offer direct flights to Gatwick, despite how far north they may be, such as with Edinburgh, Scotland, you can book a direct flight and arrive in Gatwick at about an hour and a half.

If you’re departing from other cities in England, such as Manchester, Birmingham, Norwich, Newcastle, Leeds, or Liverpool, you’ll make one stopover en route to Gatwick, with no direct flights available. Flights from Cardiff and Swansea, Wales are not direct to Gatwick, and make at least one stopover along the way, the location of which depends on the airline.

  • How do you get from Brighton airport to the city centre?

For some impressive Indian-Saracenic inspired architecture, head to Royal Pavilion, where its towering presence and ornate detailing is sure to wow. Britain’s best performers, be it comedians, musicians, or actors, perform at Brighton Centre when in town, so be sure to check out its events calendar during your stay.
