Insights shared by verified travellers who flew the route from John F Kennedy Intl to Heathrow 
Verified travelerFlew with British AirwaysNov 2025
Sit at the back near the toilets and the food service, you’ll get served quicker lol x
RachelFlew with American AirlinesNov 2024
London Heathrow is absolutely disorganized. You need 2 hours between flights at a minimum.
Verified travelerFlew with IberiaJun 2024
For people flying from New York to London I would always use British Airways. The people are so nice. I would recommend getting to the airport 3 hours early as a minimum and booking well in advance. You will need to check in 24 hours in advance online or a 2-3 hours earlier than departure at the airport. There is no other option and this is a very serious policy. The flight is very easy and enjoyable though so I definitely would recommend.
CynthiaFlew with IberiaMay 2024
If you have a connecting flight it can be a bit confusing. Make sure you have enough time between flights. The flight to London was great. It's the airport experience, including all the security, which stresses you out.
JordanFlew with British AirwaysMay 2024
Connections can take some time to figure out at LHR. They often don’t assign connecting gate till just before boarding. So be ready for that.
VaitsaFlew with British AirwaysApr 2024
Be early and pay attention to gate changes.
leaniepenneFlew with British AirwaysJan 2024
Dress appropriate for the season and be comfortable, arrive early for checking in case there are unexpected changes or delays.
Verified travelerFlew with British AirwaysJan 2024
Check all flights, arrive at the airport alot earlier if you have your flights cancelled and then rebooted with another line, they didn't book us on and took neatly 3 hours to sort out, others arrived at the normal time and missed their flights
