When to Choose EasyJet
- Weekend city break — If you travel light (just a backpack) for 2-3 days, EasyJet at 72 is unbeatable value.
- Flexible travel — The 72 RT deal we found proves budget flying pays off for short hops.
- Don mind Gatwick or Stansted — Further from central London than Heathrow, but train connections are fast.
When to Choose KLM
- Business travelers — KLM Schiphol-Heathrow frequency and included service make it smoother.
- Checked luggage needed — Included 23kg bag saves 30-60 each way vs EasyJet fees.
- Loyalty benefits — Flying Blue miles and SkyTeam lounge access add value.
Our Verdict
For a short weekend trip with carry-on only, EasyJet 72 is the clear winner. For longer stays or work trips where comfort matters, KLM higher fare is worth it.
