Tallinn to London Travel Experience July 2022

////

Finally, I went to London in July 2022 after a good 2 years gap. This time I travelled from Tallinn to London. In this post, I will share my travel experience of what it’s like to travel from Tallinn to London.

Staying in Tallinn, Estonia for almost 3 months now. I definitely had to go to London. Knowing my Dad lives there, and I have not seen him for some time. We all decided that as the flights are open (Post Corona Virus Panedimic) from Estonia and from India both. We all can gather in London to celebrate my father’s birthday.

Tallinn to London Air Baltic Flight

Post-pandemic the flight cost has shot up and this was evident when we booked our Tallinn to London flights. We searched for our flights from Skyscanner. However, doing detailed research we found that if we book individual tickets from Tallinn (Lennart Meri) to London (Gatwick) one way and London to Tallinn one way. This way we can get the timing of the flight we want. This is not recommended approach however, we were able to save some money by doing this. Air Baltic flight from Tallinn to London for 2 people cost us €393 Euros. This one was not even direct, we first had to take a flight BT362 From Tallinn to Riga and then flight BT651 from Riga to London Gatwick.

The whole duration of the journey was 5 hours or so. Flight from Tallinn to Riga was for 50 mins and Riga to London was 3 hours or so. In total, if you are travelling from Tallinn to London the shortest time duration is 5 hours.

You can search for Air Baltic flights by clicking on the banner below:

I searched for the best deal for my Flight from Tallinn to London on Skyscanner. Check out the flights from Skyscanner below to get the best deals and offers:

London Gatwick Airport

Landed at the Third busiest airport in the UK. Gatwick airport and then I had to book a train to reach Central London. As we were hungry we took a quick bite from the Marks and Spencer Food store at the airport. I had my old University-time Oyster Card. However, for some reason, I was not able to top it up, even though I had GBP currency with me. Nevertheless, The fastest way to reach Central London that I figured out there was via the Gatwick Express. We bought a ticket one way from Gatwick Airport to London Victoria Station for £20 each. This was a little expensive but anyway, we had to buy one. The train came in at platform 2 and we hopped onto the train. There were about 2 stops before we reached Victoria Station, East Croydon and Clapham Junction.

London Victoria to East Ham Station

We reached London Victoria in about 30 mins. From there we continued our journey to East Ham. We took the district line towards Upton Park. This journey involved 19 stops. I mean this was the fastest we could travel to reach our destination at reasonable expenses. You may take a private cab but then they will be charging a lot more than a good old London tube.

You can plan your journey by visiting the TFL website, as there are a lot of disruptions due to construction and repair work done on the tube line.

Visa For London, UK

Thankfully I had a UK tourist visa before I moved to Estonia. I applied for a UK visa when I was in Delhi, India. As I have been a frequent traveller to the UK. I applied for a 5-year tourist visa from the New Delhi VFS Global Centre. In case you are Estonian and want to travel to the UK, You need not apply for a visa. Estonians can travel to the UK and stay up to 6 months without a visa. You also need to make sure that you meet the standard visitor eligibility requirements. To know more about the UK visa types and fees you can check out our Visa for London UK page.

Overall I had been missing London and finally got a chance to visit this beautiful city again. My Tallinn to London travel Experience had been good, and I will be travelling more frequently now. Knowing COVID-19 has taken more than 2 years of our life. Another reason being I have shifted to Tallinn, So Tallinn to London travel will be much more frequent than Delhi to London travel.

London Weather

However must say, summers here are getting unbearable. Climate change is playing havoc. All the underground trains are too old to cope with the heat. Especially the Central line does not have air conditioning. A lot is going to change in this big city. And the climate is going to play a pivotal role.

Bangkok to London tour Package

///

Bangkok to London travel is frequent for people who are generally ex-pats staying in Bangkok city and even tourists who want to explore London. Bangkok on its own is a great touristic place, however, people from this city also love travelling to new places and London is in their top 10 places to visit. Thailand is surrounded by Myanmar on the west, Laos on the east and the Gulf of Thailand on the South. The distance from Bangkok to London is about 5,930 miles by air and 7,765 miles by road route. You cross several countries and a continent to reach London. Though both the cities are tourist destinations the travel between Bangkok and London is also frequent for business travellers, tourists, and also employment.

We will be focusing on Bangkok to London tour packages on our website. How you can travel, where you can stay, what all places to see in London.

Bangkok to London Flights

The best and the only feasible way of travelling from Bangkok to London is by air transport. The best and most frequent services are provided by Thai Airlines and British Airways, as these are the only two airlines which provide direct non-stop flights from Bangkok to London. Then there are other airlines too like Singapore Airlines,
Lufthansa, Etihad Airways, Air India, KLM, Qatar Airways, and Sri Lankan Airlines. Thai offers daily flights to London Heathrow (LHR) from Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK). The cheapest ticket price varies and starts from as low as 40,000 Thai Baht. Bangkok to London flights from Thai airline takes about 12 hours and 20 mins which is way faster compared to other airlines. Singapore airline also offers a great service, but then they have a stopover at the Singapore Airport and then from there a direct flight to London Heathrow (LHR). The time taken by Singapore Airlines is a staggering 20 hours to reach London including the stop and change over at Singapore airport. Etihad Airlines also offers a Bangkok to London flight service, but then they too stop and changeover at the Abu Dhabi airport, which takes about min 16 hours in total to reach London Heathrow.



So I would thoroughly recommend leisure and business travellers if you are planning to take a flight from Bangkok to London, book your tickets from Thai Airlines or British Airways. These two airlines will help you reach London without any stopover or changeover in about 13 hours max.

Berlin is the capital city of Germany. The distance between Berlin and London is about 680 miles. If you plan to travel from Berlin to London by train, bus or flight you will be crossing 3 countries to reach London, the Netherlands, Belgium and France. Many people travel from Berlin to London for leisure and business.

Berlin to London Flights

Flight frequency between London to Berlin and Berlin to London is about 68 flights a week. The coronavirus Pandemic played havoc, however, the travel industry is bouncing back and the number of flights between Berlin and London is getting back to the 2019 number and even getting better. 69 flights a week is an astonishing number of flights being held between these two destinations. The service from Berlin Schoenefeld Airport (BER) and London Heathrow Airport (LHR) is excellent and frequent. So it’s very much advisable to plan your journey accordingly and also to choose the most frequent flying airports to get flexible dates and times. Berlin to London flight airfares start from as low as 150 Euros depending on how early you book your flights. The flight usually takes 4 hours from Berlin to reach London and 3 hours while coming back to Schoenefeld. The most frequent air travel service from Berlin to London is provided by Lufthansa, Eurowings, Ryanair and British Airways. So we prefer you to travel from Ryanair. The other option is Easy Jet, but it is not as frequent as Ryanair is between these two destinations.

Travel post-coronavirus Post-Pandemic has become pretty expensive. So book your flight from Berlin to London, well in advance to make the most of the flight availability and price.

Delhi to London Air India flight experience 3rd Feb 2018

/

So finally going from Delhi to London by Air India Flight on 3rd Feb 2018. Going to London again after Aug 2017 last year. This blog post is my experience of travelling from Delhi to London via Air India Flight. These are my honest views and experiences that I would like to share with you all the viewers and readers of the blog.

Planning and Booking Delhi to London Air India Flight

Last year I took an Emirates flight, it was awesome. This time I looked at booking flights via the MakeMyTrip website. Was looking for a cheap flight from Delhi to London this time, as was running low on budget, but as usual high on spirits. The plan was to get a morning flight from Delhi and arrive around the evening in London so that he gets his work done and come to pick me up at the airport. As per my criteria, I started looking and looked at no other website but MakeMyTrip, because I personally like this website, have travelled a lot locally within India and booked hotels and flights in the past. So finally I got a good deal and booked an Air India Flight.

Inside Indira Gandhi International Airport Terminal 3
Inside Indira Gandhi International Airport Terminal 3

Check-in and Boarding Experience

Checked in time, and boarded the Air India aircraft number AI – 111 from Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport Terminal 3. The flight took off like 20 mins late almost. Sat in an Air India Flight after a very long time I would say after 2 years or so. The plane which I boarded this time was Dreamliner Boeing 787-8. The flight started about 20 Mins late. That was all right really. I got my seat which was 16J and had no issues in boarding. All fine sat down. The flight was full and had a noisy crowd I would say.

Entertainment and Food On-Board

Opened up the Entertainment screen in front of me. And to my surprise, all the Hollywood movies were dated like I don’t more than a year old. I was totally disappointed by the fact that they had no new movies to offer. I already started comparing my experience with my last flight with Emirates. And then the snack time came. I generally drink red wine, or sparkling water while on the journey. So I asked for the usual red wine. And they didn’t have any. So they gave me the white whine instead. I was feeling utterly disappointed already by two experiences and was hoping the food would be good, as the last time when I flew with Air India, I remembered I had a good meal. Which was the reason I booked the flight with Air India again.

Main Course Meal in Air India AI-111 Flight
Main Course Meal in Air India AI-111 Flight

The food was average, I mean for the price just below this I was getting an Emirates flight, the only reason I didn’t book Emirates this time, was that it was not a direct flight and I wanted to reach London without any journey breaks. If I had known that the service and the standards would be so down in Air India this time, I wouldn’t have booked the flight with Air India in the first place. But there you go, this is the experience I had with them. And probably the last time I am going with them, Anyway, the tea time came and the shadiness continued, with cheap plastics replacing good quality stainless steel cutlery. They gave chocolate and a cheese-stuffed croissant, with cheap plastics all around.

Tea time in Air India AI-111
Tea time in Air India AI-111

Air India Delhi to London flight duration

It was a 9-hour and 40 mins flight, it was super boring and no good movies to watch. Overall I had been disappointed with Air India’s International flight service from Delhi to London. Personally, I don’t think I am planning to fly with Air India any time in the near future. Well if you are looking for a direct cheap flight from Delhi to London, where you are least bothered with infotainment available on the flight and don’t care about the service, not sure why you fly with Air India. There are better options in the market like British Airways, Jet Airways, and Virgin Atlantic.

While it may not be at the top, surely Estonians enjoy going to new places and exploring new cultures. London is no different due to its magnetic charm and culture.

London has always fascinated tourists from all around the world. Tallinn is the capital city of Estonia, a city surrounded by Stockholm from the west and Helsinki from the north, St Petersburg on the east and Riga from the south. The distance between Tallinn and London is about 1,474 miles by road and 1,109 miles by air. Often travellers prefer going by air to London, as it is much cheaper and less time consuming as compared to travelling by road to London, which will essentially consist of crossing 5 countries.

Tallinn to London Flights

The best way of travelling from Tallinn to London is by flight, and the most frequent flight services are operated by SAS, Air Baltic, KLM, Wizz Air, and Norwegian Airlines which operate frequent services between both cities.
