Flying from England to Ibiza in November can be surprisingly affordable if you know where to look. The summer crowds are gone, temperatures are still pleasant, and the island is much quieter — the perfect setting for a relaxed getaway. With a few practical tricks and the right timing, you can find low-cost flights and make the most of your budget while still enjoying everything Ibiza has to offer.
Why November is a great time to visit Ibiza
November is the calm after the summer rush. The weather stays mild, averaging around 20°C, and many restaurants, beach cafés and markets remain open. Accommodation prices drop dramatically, and flight fares follow the same trend. Travelling in November means more value for your money, less waiting time, and a more authentic experience of local life.
With fewer visitors, it is also easier to explore Ibiza’s natural landscapes, from the beaches of Cala Comte and ses Salines to the quiet trails of Es Amunts. You can walk through Dalt Vila’s old streets without the crowds or enjoy a coffee by the marina while watching local fishermen start their day. It is the perfect mix of good weather and lower prices.
Be flexible with your travel dates
The first rule to find the cheapest flights from England to Ibiza in November is flexibility. Airlines adjust their prices daily, so the more open you are with your dates, the more likely you are to find a good deal. Midweek flights are often much cheaper than weekend ones.
Try searching for departures on Tuesdays or Wednesdays and returns on Tuesdays or Thursdays. If you can, avoid the first week of November, which still falls close to the UK half-term holidays. The best fares usually appear from the second week onwards. Also, consider flights early in the morning or late at night — they tend to have lower demand and better prices.
Compare different UK airports
Looking beyond your nearest airport can make a big difference. The London airports (Gatwick, Luton, Stansted and Heathrow) offer the most connections to Ibiza, but prices are not always the lowest. Check Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol, Liverpool and Leeds Bradford, especially if you live outside the capital. A short train journey to another airport might save you more than £50 on the flight.
Using tools like Google Flights helps you compare routes visually and see which airport offers the best deal for your preferred dates. Remember to check the total cost, including luggage and transport to the airport, before deciding.
Choose the right airline
When it comes to affordable options, Ryanair, easyJet, and Jet2 are your best choices for direct flights. They reduce their schedules in winter, but several flights a week remain available from London and Manchester. Occasionally, British Airways or Iberia Express also offer competitive prices in November.
If direct flights are limited or expensive, try connecting through mainland Spain. Flying from the UK to Palma de Mallorca, Barcelona, or Madrid, and then taking a short domestic flight to Ibiza, can be a smart and economical solution. A route such as Manchester–Palma–Ibiza or Bristol–Barcelona–Ibiza often costs less than flying direct. Just make sure to leave at least three hours between connections if you are booking separate tickets.
Search smart: tools and techniques
Start your search with Google Flights, which offers a clear view of the cheapest days to fly. Once you find your ideal dates, check prices on Skyscanner and then confirm directly with the airline to avoid extra booking fees.
Set up price alerts on these platforms to receive notifications when fares drop. Sometimes booking two one-way tickets with different airlines — for example, flying out with Ryanair and returning with easyJet — can be cheaper than a round-trip fare.
Do not forget to compare ‘with luggage’ and ‘hand luggage only’ options. Some airlines now offer small add-ons for cabin bags that can still keep the total price under control.
Book at the right time
For short European routes like England–Ibiza, the best time to book is usually two to eight weeks before your trip. Because November is low season, you might find good deals even one or two weeks before departure. However, waiting too long can reduce your options, as low-cost airlines sell the cheapest seats first.
Checking prices once or twice a day is enough — airline fares do not usually change hour by hour. Tuesday and Wednesday mornings are statistically the most likely times for price drops.
Keep an eye on extra costs
Low-cost airlines make money through add-ons. Always double-check what is included in your ticket. The cheapest fares often allow only a small cabin bag, so measure your luggage carefully before heading to the airport. Adding bags, choosing seats or boarding early can quickly increase the total price.
Whenever possible, pay online in advance for any extras you really need — doing it at the airport will cost more. Also, pay in the airline’s local currency (GBP for UK-based flights) to avoid unfavourable exchange rates.
And make sure to uncheck any optional travel insurance or ‘protection plans’ that some booking sites automatically include.
Alternative routes and small tricks
If London routes are too expensive, try combining regional airports with flights via Spain’s main hubs. Spending one night in Palma or Barcelona before continuing to Ibiza can still cost less than a direct flight. It also adds a short city break to your journey.
If you are travelling with someone else, check the price for one ticket before booking two. Sometimes, only one seat remains at the lower fare class, and booking separately lets you secure at least one cheaper seat.
Forget the myths: what does not work
Clearing your browser cookies or using ‘incognito mode’ will not lower prices in any meaningful way. Neither will changing your location with a VPN. Airlines adjust fares based on overall demand and remaining seats, not on individual browsing history. Focus on comparing, being flexible and setting alerts instead — those methods actually save money.
Final advice before you fly
- Always check the final price directly with the airline.
- Download or print your boarding pass to avoid check-in fees.
- Leave enough time between connections if your trip includes stops.
- Bring a valid passport; ID cards are not accepted for UK travellers.
