Frequently cheap flights can be found on charter flights because the prices don’t change with demand.  Charter airfare prices are set in the fall for the following summer season.  Occasionally discount airfare can be found if charter flights have last minute seat sales.

Another thing to keep in mind when booking a flight to London Heathrow airport is if the flight is a direct, non-stop or connecting. What is more important to you, cheap flights or non-stop flights?  Non-stop flights are non-stop – no stops en route.  Direct flights make a stop in another city to pick up or drop off passengers but a there is no change of planes.  Connecting flights are flights that you actually get off one aircraft and board another aircraft. Most flights from Ottawa to London Heathrow are non-stop or direct.

Occasionally discount airfare and seat sales can be found at border cities. If it is more convenient or less expensive for you to fly out of the border cities you may wish to explore that option.  Just keep in mind any expenses or inconvenience involved with getting to a border city. Savings from cheap flights in border cities may not be real savings once the cost of getting to the different airports is compared. Cheap flights are only valuable if they save you money.
