Flights from Heathrow to Charlotte: the best tips from KAYAK users' own experiences

Insights shared by verified travellers who flew the route from Heathrow to Charlotte 
Verified travelerFlew with British Airways-Oct 2026
London Heathrow airport is huge but very physically constrained due to surrounding development. The bus system at the airport can be confusing and pays to investigate before arriving. Bring multiple layers as cabin temperatures can be lower than expected. The Charlotte Airport is a breeze compared to Heathrow. Foreign travelers must expect long lines at immigration in Charlotte.
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.
