Flights from Asia to the United Kingdom: the best tips from KAYAK users

Insights shared by verified travellers who flew the route from Asia to the United Kingdom 
JohnFlew with Cathay Pacific-Jul 2026
Fly with an airline that allows early online check-in so that seat can be chosen free of charge. Always allow plenty of time at the airport and travel light with few bags.
ShandaFlew with Iberia-Jul 2026
Get to the airport early. Extra security check expected

Bring food with you. The food is not provided

I do not fly to Beijing that often, so cannot really offer best airline choices. However, I would stick to well known airlines known for good customer service. But one piece of advice is to try to get to the “international transfer area” as quickly as possible if you have a connection. We were one of the first and still waited almost 2 hours to get through. The process is very laborious and extremely slow.

Give yourself a lot of time at Mumbai! But not too long or you can’t enter the international terminal. It is a mess! I would recommend the taxi to the terminal 2 (negotiate around 10,000 rupees), free buses can take a long time as many people take them with their suitcases. Also, check if you need to pick up suitcases in Mumbai even if you travel internationally. It can happen.

On the 777w, it’s a noisy, long and dehydrating experience. I would recommend flying via Doha/dubai over a long single stretch to London.
Verified travelerFlew with British Airways-Mar 2025
Flying through Europe is best, as it breaks the journey into two approx equal halves. The 17-hour haul from MiddleEast is too tiring. I enjoyed flying on Lufthansa and also like both Munich and Frankfurt airports! Avoid London. They now charge and require a transit visa.
GautamFlew with British Airways-Dec 2024
I like the BA flight that departs at 8:50 am local time from Mumbai - it allows for a decent amount of sleep before heading to the airport early morning. The airport is also less crowded at that time, so security & immigration is a breeze.
JaiFlew with British Airways-Jan 2025
The morning flights are always recommended as you miss less sleep. Getting to the airport was easy. The airport security was not crowded.
Verified travelerFlew with British Airways-Jan 2025
Keep layover for more than 3 hours if you are flying to US 1. need time for security 2. Need time to walk to your gate
AdamFlew with Virgin Atlantic-Jan 2025
It's a big airport so just make sure you pay attention to the gate. Read the signs carefully
AmarjitFlew with Virgin Atlantic-Dec 2024
Get to DEL well in time because coming from Punjab there’s always something going on.
BarryFlew with British Airways-Jul 2024
Check if there are seats at the rear configured as 2-4-2. The extra space on the aisle is very good to have.
LiyingFlew with British Airways-Aug 2024
Be aware of the time for the connection flight at London. You will need to pass through security check with all other passengers
Verified travelerFlew with British Airways-Jul 2024
Be ready to book wheel chair assistance for senior citizens
IramFlew with British Airways-Aug 2024
Keep water bottles to avoid asking for more.
Verified travelerFlew with British Airways-Mar 2024
Get there early. No one from British Airways will tell you this but there are separate queues if you are traveling by business or first class. Do NOT keep any valuables in your checked in bag, they will be stolen. Eat before the flight if you can as the inflight meals as if January of 2024 are really bad. Do not carry any spices or pickle in your carry on bags, security will make you throw them away.
ChrisFlew with Malaysia Airlines-Feb 2024
It's 14hrs and feels like it. Pay the small amount extra for the "premium economy " seats- there are 3 rows in a separate cabin and it just feels more relaxed and comfortable with a bit of extra legroom
Verified travelerFlew with Korean Air-Dec 2023
Drink lots of water. Sleep to the destination time, not the original time and clean up after yourselves - the flight staff are already working hard, they should not have to clean up after adults.

Very bad service and food variety will never come back again

Very bad service and food variety will never come back again

Everything was perfect. Staff were informative and professional and flight boarding, flying and de-embarking was smooth. I would certainly travel with Emirates again.

My baby was with me it was really good experience with emirates

Fantastic as ever. Great staff super catering and excellent service.

Flight and entertainment great. Food needs to be improved, only one choice on the menu. Staff worked well throughout.

Crew were excellent and the bar service and chat fantastic. Cheese board delicious. Amenity kit good, very disappointing not getting pyjamas on this leg of the flight and needed to reuse from earlier flight.

Hospitality is good. Should improve on buggage handling because l lost a suitcase. Layover in Dubai was too long , 6 hours

They should resume the fast track for business / first class passengers

Everything was superb, only bad point was that the fast track on London Heathrow arrivals was not handed out to me and I had to go back to the gate to collect it.

All was good. Emirates should restart allowing fast track immigration for business class at Manchester airport. Saves a bit of time

Economy travel is really hard with no room to move especially when the person sitting beside you is an XL or XXL size person who if moving could hit your face

Being a QR Platinum member traveling in business class, I expected the staff to be more courteous. Unfortunately, the lady staff was rude attending business class 1K side.

Good staff, good intent, decent entertainment. More seat space would always be of benefit

After going through security and waiting for the flight at the gate, there was no access to bathrooms and no place to charge a phone while waiting for the flight. But once I was on the plane, everything was very good.

Terrible. The website insisted that I wasn't logging in correctly to confirm my flight. It also wouldn't let me register as a member. I was unable to get a boarding pass until 4 hours before the flight so I couldn't get through security and had to wait. It was unlike anything I've experienced in decades.

Food and Service inside the flight. Airport service from Qatar is not good mainly because of lack of coordination and not used of seeing so many ppl commuting

Qatar Airlines code share with Indigo has been a terrible experience for me on these notes: 1. Indigo changed by flight without informing me of the change, they did not ask me if I am okay with the change. I discovered this change when I was trying to do online check-in through the Qatar mobile app. When I called Qatar customer support, they mentioned Indigo changed my flight due to the original flight being cancelled, but the fact is that flight was scheduled and departed correctly, it was never cancelled. 2. When asked why my flight was changed without informing me, they mentioned that they sent email/phone call to my travel agent, and it is was my travel agent that did not inform me, which again was another false statement. 3. I called Qatar Airlines (third call on the day of my trip) to request them to put me back on the same flight, they mentioned that they could for an extra $2500, as the original class I was booked on was not available, we are still talking economy only not business class, I said no way. 4. I called the travel agent, and they mentioned that they will work with Indigo and asked me to be prepared to travel on the later flight I was bumped to. While I was making my hotel/taxi arrangements for the new flight, I got a call and email saying they were able to get me on the original flight with no extra cost. So, after 2+ hours of talking to customer support, and a lot of stress on my last day of vacation, I flew back as originally scheduled, but this nightmare is just a horrible experience that I will never fly on Indigo/Qatar again. Thanks and regards, Vijay

Qatar is the worst airline experience I had in a long time traveling business class, I believe the hype is all paid for by bloggers.

I liked the food and services provided. I think the seating should be updated cause it’s to congested for economic class.

The screen was not clean.It had stains of previous customer .Also the toilets..My daughter got urine infection. Not happy with the cleanliness of aircraft.Also requested multiple time hot beverages but not served at all sighting disturbances. Request on behalf of every passenger please sanitize and clean as we stay for 15 plus hours..

Connection booked by Etihad was delayed and upon arrival to counter they closed it and denied boarding although there was still 15 minutes to go . Manager Karen was very rude and did not want to listen seems there as overbooking and canceling boarding was the only solution..

Maybe some more information as to why the flight got delayed I understand may be tell your customers that missiles were fired at a specific airport wouldn't be reassuring to the customers and would cause mayhem but something like recent events have cause a delay on your flight or smth

I booked tickets for a family of five and specifically paid extra to select our seats together. We spent nearly $1,000 extra (around $100 per seat) for extra legroom so we could sit near each other. However, despite paying for this, we ended up being separated on the flight. This caused a major issue for our family because my parents do not speak English and rely on me to translate and assist them during the journey. I do not understand why Etihad changed our reserved seats without explanation. I am extremely dissatisfied with this experience. I expect the airline to do better, and I am requesting a full refund for the seat selection fees we paid.

It was excellent service in the snow storm gives us hotel and transportation. It will be more better if u can add one more meal because it’s a long flight boring journey. If you give extra meal time passes faster and can enjoy the trip better

Surprised at the lower quality of seats on the Boeing 777 in Business Class. Seats are tight and the whole Business class section is jam packed with seats. It doesn’t feel like Business Class at all. Also the way the tray tables are placed with a huge bulky solid metal hinge at knee level makes it so uncomfortable and always anxious that one will accidentally bang their knee on it. Quality of amenities has also declined. Over priced tickets with diminished quality of the entire experience.

Took a long time for boarding. The flight was comfortable.

Needs better seat for business class. My seat was falling apart. Also no WiFi on that flight

Online was good boarding also but a child was crying all the way with no intervention from crew member.

The food is good, but i am nit used to those foods so I can’t really be more detailed.

It feels like the seat did not have any cushion and just ply wood. The seats are so compact that no one would sit comfortably. I am a slim person and it was super hard for me to move in the seat just imagine what someone else would feel. This airline would be my last option. Singapore Air and Emirates are far far far better than this. Do not travel even for free.

Boarding from the SFO lounge is a big improvement. Although the first class dining room inside the lounge is becoming very crowded.

Decent flight, helpful middle seat blocking in business. Boarding staff was polite and helpful. Unfortunately the airport directions to this gate were a mess and the check in staff did not alert us to the confusing signage or any proactive information about the lounge. On board the flight, food and drinks were decent but average. Comparatively, SASs new business catering on this route shines above both in quality and service

we originally had premium economy seats when we booked, but because we were forced to re-book because the first leg of our journey was delayed for several hours, we had to fly economy. Less room, less comfortable.

Flight was fine. We were in business class, so lie-flat seats were appreciated. Kids were in premium and said it was nice. Flight was delayed by 3 hours, so we missed everything we had planned in London the first day.

Gates were changed at Heathrow with nothing show on the board about 200 plus people needed to take a tram to another section of the terminal. At JFK airport, we had to wait 1 hour(!) on the tarmac after a 7 hour flight to get a gate to deboard!!

I am very disappointed with the way my seat reservation was handled. My husband and I purchased Business Class tickets and also paid extra to reserve our seats. However, our reserved seats were changed without our consent, and we were assigned different seats, separating us. Since we paid specifically for reserved seats, the airline did not provide the service we purchased. I would therefore like to request a full refund of the seat reservation fees. I would appreciate your prompt response and resolution to this matter. Thank you.

I can't believe you have to pay L 3.20 for a Cup of British tea on an airlines with the name British on the plane.

Long haul flight and was really good. Comfortable plane and seats. Really great service all round and always willing to help. Lovely food and drinks (Tanqueray is my favourite Gin). Media was great and helped for the long journey.

Flight was good but couldn’t sleep because bed was so uncomfortable.

This was the return leg of my trip. Tried to do online check in several times, both on BA App and online but it kept saying " it was not possible, check in at the airport". Got to Airport 3 hours before the flight to be told the flight was overbooked and I was on standby because I hadn't checked in online!!! Was told I could go and wait at the gate in case of a no show but would actually be booked on the next flight in 4 hours. At the gate I did actually get in to the original plane... And had 2 empty seats next to me.. So much for overbooked. To add insult to injury, my baggage did not arrive in LHR and was finally delivered over 24 hours later. I don't travel with BA very often.. This experience will make it even less likely, particularly as my wife had exactly the same issue 2 days later.

They rescheduled flight..no customer care to even reach or accommodate

very run down aircraft. seat tilted. the mobile / magazine holder was broken. The entertainment screen was not working. The crew was good, polite and helpful

Other than the inflight video screen freezing for about four hours everything else was brilliant.

First and the foremost I was shocked to see airindia standards have come down so low . The food was horrible . They served us 3 meals for vegetarian and all the was paneer . The orange juice was not at all cold it was smelly . After you take this heavy price air India should learn from other air lines . I at one point felt like throwing up . After all this when we landed we were not given landing slip . We had to wait for 45 min at the immigration just because no one was given landing slip . To top it all we were 3 passengers and had checked in 4 check in luggage . Out of which 3 have not yet arrived . Basically status says the loaded it in our flight ( this was a direct fight ) and it never reached . We are still waiting . There is nothing great to tell about our flight . The he only good thing was the crew were very helpful .

The flight was dirty. The screens were not working and people were restless. Food and staff was okay.

Very poor no tv no entertainment no good food everything was very bad

Many TV screens were not working.In all vagetarian food paneer was there.So too much paneer.In connecting flight also paneer kathiroll.

The Entertainment system didn’t work in the long haul flight of 15 hours! The seat and the tray table were broken/shaking as if would fall on me.

Poor flight and poor service on Air India service back to US

No organized boarding procedure and TV screens in most of the seats didnt work. For a 14 and half hour flight, without any entertainment made it much worse. Recliners in the seats were not working properly.
