What LGW to AYT looks like
The LGW to AYT sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
London LGW to Antalya AYT is a medium haul sector of 2,908 km by great circle, flown nonstop 10.3 times a day.
At the cruise speed this site models for 2,908 km, 830 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 4h 13m.
London LGW is a major hub in the network held here, 203 scheduled destinations and 510.1 departures a day. Antalya AYT has 182 destinations and 518.9 departures a day.
Antalya runs 3 hours ahead of London in January and 2 hours ahead in July, because the two ends do not change their clocks together.
The pair sits inside Europe, a corridor where the site already publishes 14 written lanes that go into customs and ground detail this page does not.
Who flies the sector, and how often
Average daily frequencies on LGW to AYT from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| LGW to AYT | 10.29 | 72 | BA Euroflyer, British Airways, Corendon Air, easyJet, Jet2, LATAM Argentina |
| AYT to LGW | 5.14 | 36 | British Airways, easyJet, LATAM Argentina, TUI Airways, Wizz Air UK |
8 carriers are recorded on the sector, so a missed departure is normally a rebooking rather than a lost day.
The two directions are not level: LGW to AYT runs 10.3 times a day, the return runs 5.1 times a day, and a round trip has to be planned around the thinner of the two.
At 10.3 times a day there is usually another departure within a few hours, which is what makes a same day booking on this pair realistic.
Between them the two directions put about 108 departures a week on LGW to AYT, which is the number that decides whether a seat can be found today or on Thursday.
The clock from collection to signature
The same ground timings the route calculator starts from, applied to the 4h 13m block time on LGW to AYT. Change any of them in the tool further down and the total moves with them.
| Stage | Allowed | Elapsed |
|---|---|---|
| Collection and the run to LGW | 90 min | 1h 30m |
| At LGW before departure | 180 min | 4h 30m |
| LGW to AYT in the air, estimated | 253 min | 8h 43m |
| Formalities at AYT | 90 min | 10h 13m |
| Delivery run in Antalya | 45 min | 10h 58m |
| Door to door | 658 min | 10h 58m |
On the desk standard ground timings, ninety minutes to collect and reach the airport, three hours at the airport before departure, ninety minutes of arrival formalities and a forty five minute delivery run, the door to door figure for LGW to AYT is 10h 58m.
A courier who leaves London at 09:00 local is on the ground in Antalya at about 16:13 local and at the door by 18:28 the same day.
Working backwards from a six in the evening handover in Antalya, the last useful departure from London is around 08:32 local.
When the nonstop does not work
Every airport that joins the two ends, ranked by when they land, among the ones whose weaker leg is dependable enough to plan on. Connection time is allowed for the size of the hub. 57 of them join LGW to AYT.
| Connecting at | LGW to hub, flights a day | Hub to AYT, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Salzburg SZG | 1.14 | 0.71 | 2,913 | 5h 43m |
| Izmir ADB | 0.71 | 3.14 | 2,924 | 5h 48m |
| Tirana TIA | 1.57 | 2 | 2,942 | 6h 01m |
| Budapest BUD | 2 | 4.71 | 2,970 | 6h 02m |
| Prague PRG | 1.86 | 8.71 | 2,999 | 6h 04m |
| Cologne CGN | 2 | 15.71 | 2,946 | 6h 06m |
With 10.3 times a day on the nonstop, a connection here is a disruption plan rather than a routing, and it is listed because a closed runway or a cancellation wave is exactly when nobody has time to work it out.
57 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Salzburg SZG, where the weaker of the two legs still runs 5 times a week.
Through SZG the routing covers 2,913 km against the 2,908 km nonstop track and takes about 5h 43m in the air and on the ground at the hub, allowing 60 minutes to connect at an airport of that size.
That is only 1h 30m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Izmir ADB at 5h 48m and Tirana TIA at 6h 01m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
If nothing suitable leaves London, London LHR is 41 km away by great circle and carries 212 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.
If nothing suitable leaves Antalya, Rhodes RHO is 248 km away by great circle and carries 117 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.
Restricted hours at either end
Widely documented operating restrictions, checked 2026-09-07. Exemptions and seasonal variations exist, so confirm with the carrier before relying on any of them.
London LGW is shut to scheduled movements between 23:30 and 06:00 local, so a collection in London that runs late does not simply catch a later flight, it waits for the morning and loses a working day in Antalya.
London LGW, night restrictions: Night movements are capped between 23:30 and 06:00 local under a seasonal quota.

Where this came from, and where to look next
- Carriers and frequencies: AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics, retrieved 2026-09-07. Average daily flights, not a timetable.
- Distances: great circle from published coordinates. They read short against a flown track, which is why the block time above applies a factor to them.
- Block and connection times: the same model the route calculator lower down this page runs, at the same rounding.
- Restrictions: the airport notes file, checked 2026-09-07.
- Industrial sites: public company information. Nothing here says or implies that any company named is a customer of any courier operator.
Who publishes this. OnBoard Courier is a placement desk in Dubai. An assignment is carried out by a vetted partner operator, with the desk as the single point of contact from the quote to the signature. This page exists because our own dispatchers need the answer for LGW to AYT in the twenty minutes before a promise is made, and a reference only one operator can read is not a reference. Free to read, quote and cite. Found an error? Tell us and we will correct it.
If you need something moved rather than looked up, the desk prices a hand carry in fifteen minutes.
