Cheap flights to Oxford

Oxford, the famous city of gleaming spires, is one of the delights of rural England. Set among the hills of the Cotswolds, this is a city of unrivalled history. Home to the oldest university in the English-speaking world, Oxford draws visitors throughout the summer months keen to see the shaded cloisters and quadrangles of the famous colleges. And much will be recognisable from books and films. The city is the backdrop to a huge range of literature, from Thomas Hardy's Jude the Obscure to Philip Pullman's Dark Materials trilogy. Though well-connected for transport, the city does not have its own airport, so those looking for flights to Oxford should consider nearby airports. All London airports are convenient for the city, as the train from Paddington takes less than an hour. Heathrow is the closest, situated to the west of London. Travellers looking for cheap Oxford flights could instead fly to regional airport Birmingham, which again is a short train journey away.
