"I'm hoping to visit my aunt in london, but i don't have to fly directly into london."

If you want to visit London on this trip, fly into London, and fly home from somewhere other than the UK. That way, you will avoid the high UK taxes on long-haul, premium class departures from London. (You can take the train or a short-haul flight to get from the UK to the Continent.)
