Flights from Seville to United Kingdom from 65USD*

Travel to the UK from Seville

A direct Vueling flight from Seville reaches London, Edinburgh, Manchester or Birmingham in between 2.5 and 3 hours, depending on which of the 4 British cities you choose.

The weather is the biggest change for anyone flying in from Seville. The airport sets the rest: London for the city, Edinburgh for Scotland and the Highlands, Manchester for the north of England and Birmingham for the Midlands and the Cotswolds.

What documents you need to travel to the UK

The UK is no longer part of the European Union and has never been in the Schengen Area, so a passport is mandatory and the Spanish ID card (DNI) is not accepted, not even for children.

On top of a passport that stays valid for the whole stay, Spanish and other EU citizens need an electronic travel authorisation (ETA), applied for online before boarding. Without it, you will not be allowed to board. No visa is required for short tourist or business stays.

If your children are travelling without both parents, bring the relevant authorisation with you. Entry requirements are changing, so check the current conditions on the travel documents page before you book.

As the flight leaves the Schengen Area, you will go through passport control. Factor in that extra time at the airport.

What to know when you land in the UK

From the airport into town. In London it depends on which airport you fly into, and the journey can take anywhere from half an hour to an hour by train or Underground, so it is worth checking before you book somewhere to stay. Edinburgh has a tram from the terminal to the centre in a little over half an hour, Manchester has direct trains from the airport itself, and in Birmingham they leave from Birmingham International station, linked to the terminal by a shuttle.

Plugs. Plugs in the UK are type G, with 3 rectangular pins, at 230V.

The pound. The currency is the pound sterling. Cards and contactless work almost everywhere, buses and the Underground included. Scotland issues its own banknotes, which are valid across the whole country, although they sometimes raise eyebrows in shops in England.

The time. The UK is 1 hour behind Spain all year round: both countries change their clocks on the same dates, but they sit in different time zones.

The weather is changeable and unpredictable all year, with rain and cool temperatures common even in summer. Layers and a packable waterproof jacket will see you through the whole trip.

What to do in the UK

London

The British Museum, the National Gallery and Tate Modern in London are all free to visit. Borough Market and Portobello Road each have a character of their own, and neighbourhoods like Shoreditch or Notting Hill feel like different cities within one. The food scene will surprise anyone who still thinks British cooking begins and ends with fish and chips.

Edinburgh and Scotland

Edinburgh brings together medieval history, striking architecture and countryside that starts right where the city ends. The castle on its volcanic rock, the Royal Mile and the climb up Arthur's Seat easily fill a weekend. The Highlands are a few hours' drive away, with Loch Ness and Glencoe.

Manchester and the north of England

Manchester is a city that has reinvented itself after its industrial past, with a music scene that set the standard, the Science and Industry Museum and the Northern Quarter. The Peak District is less than an hour away, and Liverpool is under an hour by train. It gets far fewer international visitors than London.

Birmingham and the Cotswolds

Birmingham is the country's second city, with a regenerated centre, navigable canals and a well-regarded food scene. It is the most practical base for Stratford-upon-Avon, Shakespeare's town, and for the golden stone villages of the Cotswolds, a little over an hour away by road.

Luggage for your flight to the UK

Your fare decides what luggage comes with you from Seville. The simplest fare includes a personal item that fits under the seat in front, and from there you can add cabin or checked luggage.

The UK's changeable weather can tempt you into packing more clothes than you need. If you plan to visit several cities or go hiking with your own gear, it is worth reviewing your luggage beforehand. Check the current conditions in Vueling's luggage policy.
