Flights from London to John F Kennedy Intl: the best tips from KAYAK users' own experiences

Insights shared by verified travellers who flew the route from London to John F Kennedy Intl 
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.
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-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.
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.
