Flights from England to North America: the best tips from KAYAK users

Insights shared by verified travellers who flew the route from England to North America 
Verified travelerFlew with American Airlines-Jul 2026
Loved my flights with British airways and American Airlines. Be aware of long walking commute at Heathrow if you come from other airport. I found that a challenge. I had not asked for a wheelchair because I can walk but it's a long commute when carrying a heavy bag. Wished there were more travelators/moving walkways available at Heathrow. Otherwise very easy and very pleasant airport. Comfortable waiting areas at gates.
Verified travelerFlew with British Airways-Aug 2026
Ensure enough time between connections if you have one! Heathrow is a great and efficient airport but it’s big! Be kind! Everyone is there doing their best to help passengers!
ManyiFlew with British Airways-Jun 2026
London airport is huge - it took be an hour to transfer from one gate to another gate in the same terminal. Plan accordingly.
Verified travelerFlew with British Airways-Jul 2026
I still prefer BA for London-Boston but all services, especially food, have been declining over the years. Boston has some of the longest walks in Terminal E. Small carts like they have in many European airports would do a lot to help especially senior passengers.
CindyFlew with British Airways-Aug 2026
Make sure you allow at least two, if not three or four, hours between flights in large international airports. There are security checks and terminal changes that eat up time. Don't fly though Heathrow if you can at all help it!!
Verified travelerFlew with British Airways-Apr 2026
Give yourself plenty of time to go through security especially if you have to go from one terminal to the other. 90 mins minimum
CJ & LisaFlew with British Airways-Mar 2026
Get up and move around as much as possible and wear compression socks.
Verified travelerFlew with British Airways-May 2026
We were going to Dublin, with a layover in London. Because our return layover was 18hrs long, we were required to attain a "UK Visa", which included downloading an app, uploading images of our paperwork, and paying an extra fee. The app was finicky and hard to please, and we had to scramble to do it in the airport lobby. If you have a long layover in London, even though you are heading to a different country, be aware and complete this before arriving at the airport, to save time and stress. It somehow slipped our awareness, but we could not check in without the special visa.
AndreaFlew with United Airlines-Apr 2026
Flight connections can be risky with a 2:45-hour gap. Be aware that the Houston airport is very busy.
Verified travelerFlew with British Airways-May 2026
Take multiple screen shots when making reservations online!
ChakaFlew with British Airways-Jan 2026
LHR is a good airport to fly from and I would suggest booking an airport longue if you are in transit for a few hours to make the long flight comfortable
AntonFlew with United Airlines-Feb 2026
United has a cool arrival lounge in london but it is a bit hard to find, after customs look left
Verified travelerFlew with British Airways-Dec 2025
Bring a seat cushion or sit on the pillow/blanket they provide you.
Verified travelerFlew with American Airlines-Jun 2025
Boarding was easy, organized and moved quickly at Heathrow. Flying premium economy is worth it on the longer flights. More leg room and no checked bag fees to pay. You may order your meals 30 days in advance. One also gets a comfort bag at each seat that includes a blanket, small neck pillow, and toiletry kit with toothpaste, toothbrush, socks, lotion, eye mask. Very handy on those long flights! Bring a light weight jacket or sweater as night flights can be cooler than day flights. Be polite and smile as the crew try their best to keep you safe and comfortable.
Verified travelerFlew with British Airways-Jun 2025
I wish I'd known that there were food and shopping opportunities at the B gate area. This was a lovely, NOT busy place to spend time. I'd have gone directly there if I'd known. Definitely a nice place to wait.
Verified travelerFlew with British Airways-Mar 2025
Try to get an aisle seat and walk around the plane as often as possible. Your legs will thank you
Verified travelerFlew with British Airways-Apr 2025
Make sure to allow ample time between connecting flights. I have to hoof it when I realized that TSA required bags to be picked up and rechecked.
MichaelFlew with British Airways-Apr 2025
Have a light luggage as much as you can. Boarding gate walk is not a joke.
Verified travelerFlew with Singapore Airlines-Apr 2025
Book direct with the airline and not through an agent.
Verified travelerFlew with British Airways-May 2025
Gate assignments are made shortly before boarding and each letter dedicated terminal group is separated by a long walk or a crowded rail ride. The metro ride between the terminals and the city can be complicated if you go in with no research. We consider ourselves capable people but Londons rail system is a mess to get a grasp of.
Verified travelerFlew with British Airways-Jan 2025
Prepare for the unexpected. It’s a long flight and anything can happen. Have some snacks and drinks with you. And other emergency items you may need.
ShawnFlew with British Airways-Dec 2024
Know that gates are posted just about an hour before takeoff and it takes a bit of time to actually get to the gate. If you make a mistake there is no train back- you have to walk to the correct area and that are at least 10 minutes apart. Make sure to have ALL liquids ready to place in the tray at TSA
AlastairFlew with British Airways-Feb 2025
Make sure your free checked luggage is for outward and return flights.
786ottoFlew with Finnair-Sept 2024
If you have tight connection and previous flight is late , don't panic they will wait for you if you have connecting flight with same airline.
Verified travelerFlew with British Airways-Sept 2024
Flight overall is good. Service is very good. Bring yourself some snacks, in case the food isn’t up to your taste.
MeganFlew with Iberia-Sept 2024
Pack light and know you can always get stuff when you land.
CarolFlew with British Airways-Oct 2024
Take the 10.40 flight not the 14.30 as it took nearly 2 hours to clear Orlando airport as there weren’t many immigration staff on duty - when i did it last year I breezed through at the earlier time
Verified travelerFlew with British Airways-Nov 2024
Beware of London underground and bus schedules always allow plenty (double?) advertised schedule timing for services to LHR, from city and suburbs!
Verified travelerFlew with United Airlines-Sept 2024
Download all your music. Add shows and movies to your queue. Bring short so you can relax. Bring long charger cords.
KennethFlew with Iberia-Oct 2024
Heathrow is a large busy airport that requires a lot of walking.
ChristopherFlew with Air Canada-Sept 2024
Boarding of the plane is a nightmare, and the gate staff don’t allow sufficient time for each zone to board in order. Get in line ASAP and just start board as soon as they begin letting people on the plane. Also, the self service check in machines won’t print baggage tags (we tried four different machines and none of them would print a baggage tag even though we had done online check in to indicate that we had checked bags).
SYBIL BRENNANFlew with British Airways-Sept 2024
Beware that they can change your flight last minute and put you on a flight that arrives to a different airport from your connecting flight. You are responsible for finding the transport to your connecting flight
Verified travelerFlew with British Airways-Aug 2024
People have to make sure they have plenty of time (2 hours minimum) if they need to change terminals. Heathrow is a monster airport, it's giant, so if you want to shop or eat or just look around, you need more than 2 hours between flights. Otherwise, it's great, the security was fast but thorough. I loved that I did not have to remove my shoes and the employees were patient and polite, not like at JFK. The shuttle buses are annoying, but at a huge airport like Heathrow, it's a must. The drivers of the shuttles are crazy, they don't care if people are falling down or not, they drive aggressively. However, people cannot fall down because the buses are packed to the gills. So, instead of shuttles, a looping airtrain would be a much more convenient and probably faster way of connecting the terminals, just like at JFK. The frequent flights between London and New York are much appreciated.
Verified travelerFlew with American Airlines-Jul 2024
Make sure you are at the airport at least 3 hours early to ensure that you can check in, go through security, and so that you can find your departure gate within plenty of time so you are not rushing.
Verified travelerFlew with British Airways-Jun 2024
By your own food and have your own music. Upgrade your seat if you have the funds!
SimonFlew with British Airways-Jun 2024
If flying business class I’d research which cabin your aircraft operates. BA have some old business class on the 380 and new business class on the 777. (And 350). The new cabin is so much better. But the food just isn’t as good as it used to be
Verified travelerFlew with Air Canada-Jul 2024
Just know that if you were going to the US, you will have to go through an additional layer of security and an additional layer of customs when you get to your next to last city
JamesFlew with British Airways-Jun 2024
When Checkin in at the airport, if you request a window seat make sure it is a window seat and ask to see a seating plan before you accept the seat.
Verified travelerFlew with British Airways-Jul 2024
Gate 10 is a train wreck because there are multiple gates distinguished by a letter following A10. If possible get there as quickly as possible to find the appropriate gate.
KateFlew with British Airways-Jun 2024
Leave plenty of time for layover in US as the queues for immigration are very long and you are likely to miss your connecting flight
LydiaFlew with American Airlines-Jun 2024
Give yourself enough connection time in London to clear customs even for connecting flights.
PhilFlew with British Airways-Aug 2024
Sit in the front part of the plane if you want service.
WendyFlew with Iberia-Jul 2024
This is a good service to a smaller gateway airport. It's usually full. This service is why we selected BA. If you've prepaid for your seats be prepared for them to switch the plane configuration and reassign your seats. You'll have to apply for this refund too since it's not automatic. These refunds should be automatic not a chore for you to get your money back, especially when you have selected seats you personally want.
AntonellaFlew with Iberia-Jul 2024
London makes you take out every single toiletry even below 100ml and if they don’t all fit in one tiny bag, they make you throw it away. Check everything in your checked luggage!
Anne KatherineFlew with Iberia-Jul 2024
Need more snacks. As meals not big and need more to eat Also take own water on board as not enough drinks offered from cabin crew - can feel dehydrated during flight
PamFlew with Iberia-Apr 2024
If flown with various airlines over 25 years, they have all been very good, I wouldn't date one over the other fur service, baggage allowance and flight cost are my deciding factors. Terminal C the new term I am at Orlando is very spacious, clean, clear signage, but be aware there is a 10 minute walk from the plane to the luggage collection and border control area. Ask for assistance if you have any issues walking that far yourself or with children.
Verified travelerFlew with American Airlines-Mar 2024
Heathrow is vast, allow plenty of time to drop bags and go through security. At San Francisco the immigration takes a bit of time and we had to wait around 1.5hrs, bare this in mind when booking car rental. The is a shuttle train from the airport to the car rental area which is very slick and efficient.
Verified travelerFlew with British Airways-Mar 2024
If you are arriving on a late flight check in to an airport hotel at Logan. Good choice, easy access and good start to your trip
SuzanneFlew with British Airways-May 2024
1 - bring a portable battery backup because you can't rely on the outlets at your seat to be working. 2 - download movies/shows to your device, because you can't rely on your headphones or screen to be working. 3 - download any work, as possible, to your laptop, because you can't rely on WiFi to be working.
Verified travelerFlew with Air Canada-May 2024
It is a long walk to the gate so make sure to leave yourself time. We were told 4 hours ahead and we should have taken that advice.
JenniferFlew with United Airlines-May 2024
Good luck with the flight, make sure you eat before you board the plane because that's a long flight for the food that is served on that plane.
Juan LuisFlew with Delta-Apr 2024
- Enter as much information as possible using the Delta or Virgin Atlantic app. - Confirm which is the Terminal of your departure. - Arrive three hours early at the airport.
EmilyFlew with British Airways-Mar 2024
Bring as few liquids as possible or put them in checked bag. They are very strict at Heathrow about all of them fitting into one small ziplock bag
Ana-MariaFlew with Iberia-Mar 2024
In London triple check your flight they have multiple leaving for the same destination once - it is easy to get them confused
DavidFlew with British Airways-Mar 2024
Don’t fly to Dallas. This isn’t about BA, but DFW was a really bad experience. TSA was horrible- rude, seemingly delighted in just being unhelpful, actually yelling at pax to “come on, get moving!” then asking why we didn’t have (whatever) out. Uhhh, that’d be because I can’t do it while moving, and not moving isn’t an option. Followed sign to TSA Pre, not there, asked agent who just pointed back where we came and said “follow the signs”. “Yes, they pointed here” “just follow the signs.” Multiple gate changes (to other terminals!) requiring multiple train rides. Just unpleasant. Find another connecting airport.
Verified travelerFlew with British Airways-Mar 2024
Eat before your flight if possible as inflight meals are pretty bad.
KaishaFlew with British Airways-Feb 2024
If flying during Mardi Gras season, prebook a cab from the airport as you may be waiting a while. Security is swift
Verified travelerFlew with American Airlines-Feb 2024
The more you can do at home online before you leave makes it easier for you to just enjoy the airport before your flight. And just remember if you purchase food from WH SMITHS to eat it or bin it on the plane because it will add 30 minutes on your journey been escorted to extra security for having sandwiches. A reminder on the plane about food items to dispose it before you leave the plane would have helped.
Verified travelerFlew with British Airways-Feb 2024
Even if you have a long layover, be prepared to travel a long distance to your gate once it gets announced. Do not delay in heading to the gate. Be prepared for a very crowded airport experience.
MasumaFlew with Air Transat-Feb 2024
Yes! If you are flying Air Transat bring your own blankets, pillow and headphones/wired earbuds or be prepared to pay with a Credit Card as they do not accept Debit cards or cash.
WarrenFlew with United Airlines-Jan 2024
The ground transportation situation (Uber, taxis) at International Arrivals (Terminals D/E) is frankly pathetic for a major American city. Way too many people and cars for the allotted space. I would recommend taking the mini-train to another terminal (A,B or C) and getting an Uber there, rather than trying to navigate International.
Verified travelerFlew with Finnair-Dec 2023
If you’re looking for a hassle free and good customer experience, avoid BA; Fly American. As soon as you board the plane, set your watch to local US time to help adjust to the time difference.
