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.

KAYAK’s top tips for finding a cheap flight from New York to London

  • Looking for a cheap flight from New York to London? 25% of our users found flights on this route for £200 or less one-way and £310 or less round-trip.
  • For travellers looking to fly from New York to London, you have a range of flights and airports to choose from. In New York you can fly either from JFK or Newark (EWR), arriving in Heathrow (LHR). Daytime flights generally go from JFK to Heathrow (LHR), with Virgin Atlantic, KLM, or Air France. Overnight options include Austrian Airlines and United Airlines flights from Newark (EWR) to Heathrow (LHR). If you prefer to fly from LaGuardia (LGA), there are indirect flights via Orlando with British Airways, or via Charlotte (CLA) with American Airlines.
  • If you’d like to relax in a lounge before flying, at JFK you’ll fly out from Terminal 1, 2, or 4 depending on the airline. Terminal 1 offers the Air France and Lufthansa lounges. In Terminal 2 there’s the Delta Sky Club, and Terminal 4 has a plethora of lounges including Delta Sky Club, Virgin Clubhouse, and Wing Tips. If you’re flying from Newark (EWR), each terminal offers several lounges. Terminal A has the American Airlines lounge, Terminal B has the Delta Sky Club and the Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse, and Terminal C has the United Club.
  • Since you will likely want to arrive at the airport at least two hours before your flight from New York to London, an excellent way to pass the time before your trip will be a must. British Airways First Lounge takes airport lounges to a new level. This lounge features a wine room, an opulent bar, and a secluded work area, as well as an upscale dining room. With upscale features like these, you will be downright disappointed when they call for boarding for your flight.
  • For families with infants, JFK has several nursing rooms around the airport. There are nursing stations in Terminal 1 by the Air France lounge, by Gate C70 in Terminal 2, and at Gates A3 and B31 or by the West Retail Hall in Terminal 4. At Newark, there are also plenty of nursing stations in Terminals A, B, and C.
  • If you or a member of your family needs help with accessibility, both JFK and Newark (EWR) offer full wheelchair services, oxygen, and kerbside unloading areas for passengers and baggage. Any help should be arranged directly with your airline. Within the airport, there is customer care staff on standby to assist – look for them in their red jackets.
  • For travellers seeking to change money before they fly, JFK has several places where you can do so. In Terminal 1 there’s a currency exchange shop at the departures level W near the concourse gates 1–3. In Terminal 2, there’s a Travelex branch near Gate 61. Newark (EWR) has multiple Travelex branches in Terminals B and C.
  • Upon landing on your flight from New York to London, you will need to clear both U.K. Border Force passport control and U.K. customs. While there is no guaranteed way to speed up this process, one way to expedite the procedure is by signing up for the U.K. registered traveler service. Members will enjoy faster entry at passport control since you can use ePassport gates and will not have to fill out a landing card, undergo an interview, or have any fingerprints taken as a visa holder.
  • Gone are the days of needing to go to a U.S. bank to get a bunch of European currency or traveler's checks before your trip. ATMs are just as plentiful in Europe as in the United States and the fees and exchange rates you will pay using your debit card to make purchases or get cash will be far less than traveler's checks and credit cards.
  • If you are connecting to a flight to another destination after your flight from New York to London, you generally will not have to pick up your checked bags. Once you exit the plane, you can follow the purple signs for flight connections. You will need to pass through border control and, if you are going to a different terminal, you may have to pass through security again.
  • By far the most budget-friendly way to get to London from the airport is the London underground. One thing to note is that, while this is an excellent option for your wallet, it may prove difficult if you have a lot of baggage to carry since space may be tight and there will be quite a few escalators and stairs to navigate.
  • If you are travelling to the north of London, you might want to choose New York to London flights that land at either Luton Airport (LTN) or Stansted Airport (STN). Both of these airports provide great access to locations such as Northampton, Cambridge and Norwich.
  • If you’re departing from Upstate New York and you’re flying to London, you might find it easier to depart from New York Stewart International Airport (SWF). This airport is especially convenient for those coming from cities such as Kingston and Albany.

Food has been disappointing in both legs of flight to india

Great staff great experience, made a 2 hour delay very bearable

Great staff, great experience, made a 2 hour delay very bearable

Food was the worst I’ve had on a VA flight. Normally it’s a lot better

I was my pleasure to fly virgin on my birthday for my first solo trip ever 🫶🏼

These are one of the older seat arrangements facing away from the windows! Not particularly convenient sets. No storage spaces. NO COAT HANGING HOOKS. Inconvenient business class seat compared to any other airlines of similar class. Staff are excellent! Extremely professional, friendly. Food is good too.

Overall, flight was excellent but check in was very slow for Premium Economy. Economy queue was shorter but we weren't allowed to use it.

The staff was not very polite but the flight was very very nice and comfortable and the entertainment was great

Great crew - old style upper class seats on the older fleet now feels dated

Premium economy more comfortable than economy, but not by much. Did was awful, do not try the omelette. Flight crew were helpful. Flight was delayed by over an hour. Overall but bad, arrived safely and thank God.

Aircraft was noisy, old and never dimmed the lights on a night flight even on business class! I flew 17 times on United and probably another 40 on other airlines United USA /Europe flights were the worst to include luggage delayed once going to europe and once coming back

Check how old the airframe is, some older ones have inoperable seat back entertainment or power.

Flight was delayed 8 times. We were sitting at the airport for 14 hours. We got 2 hours of sleep (if that) on what was not meant to be a red-eye.

Flight and crew were great. United didn't inform crew of immigration process which was disappointing!

Plane boarded early a quickly, was mostly full. We left close to on time. And landed early.

Friendly and professional flight crew. Aside from departure delay after boarding, easy flight and smooth landing.

Flight was timely, relatively comfortable, with decent entertainment and food served. Only problem encountered was with the free messaging which I highly appreciate, but it did not work from iphone to non-iphones.

Food was poorly timed and not good.. Hand held snacks, really. I kept asking for water and never got any. Service was rushed for a 7-hour flight.

Boarding was organized. Old plane. Seat fairly comfortable. Business Class much too large so you don’t receive as much attention as you should considering what you pay for the seat.

I had no checked baggage but was required to hand over carry on baggage at the door of the plane. There was a lot of overboard space in the plane and I was one of the last ones. I ran to get my carry on but it was gone. I was given back at the plane door in Toronto, so the wait was not as long as it would have been at the carousel.

The friendly staff. They kept time. Was suprised to get some drinks.

We did not even get on this flight as the plane never left London. I missed the email that was sent mid morning USA time, so we were not aware the flight was cancelled. There was absolutely no help from the staff at the Norse check in gates, we were told to take a picture of the board they were holding up, to try and claim our money back. We were told to book our own flights to London which ended up costing $10000 due to the last minute. And now we have to return to Miami in 2 weeks. I am not holding my breath about getting on board for that flight either.

Great experience. The flight was smooth with very little turbulence. We were in premium classic, so lots of leg room.

Didn’t know you had to pay for earbuds and food on flight. Sounds awesome and better way to not waste food or items. Comfort of flight is was amazing other than that

Unexpectedly was surprised with the space on flight in economy and the price.

I was not expecting having to pay for headphones, water and basic food in a 9 hours flight. Price for this flight was as high as any other, still I had to pay 4 lbs for a can of sprite. On top of that flight attendance gave a bothered look when I asked her for some ice for my soda. She reluctantly when to get it, brought me literally 3 cubes and walked away without looking at me to avoid another request. I couldn’t believe it. She was soooo rude. I will never book on Norse again and I will let everyone I know about this. Unforgivable, very bad customer service.

Great crew. Customer support is pretty much non existent. I had 2 tickets that were not used, the flight was overbooked. I think I should have been reimbursed for the unused tickets.

The movies were super old. The crew did not offer WATER???? 5 hours os flight and did not get WATER? Norse is the worst company I ever used and never will use again.

Why call us to board if we’re going to be made to stand in the tunnel for 20 minutes. Really hard for people with little children. Plus it took me ages to check in because my seat in Premium was overbooked so I didn’t actually have a seat. I did end up receiving my seat in Premium but there was a lot of stress and confusion beforehand. Hope is it possible to overbook seats? Especially in Premium!

We flew one way from Gatwick, London to JFK NY For 2 people $1200 and no food offered not even water. You had to buy food. Norse advertises as a low fare transatlantic airline, they may want rethink that. Crew, flight was fine. Ironically we flew American from JFK to Heathrow for $1000 (2people) and included food and drinks.

Plane delayed due to weather. Plane boarded, then told to unboard due to a maintenance issue.

the seats were so cramped you could barely move. it was difficult to eat when passengers would recline their seats. the seats were so flimsy and unstable that whenever someone got in and out of their seat, it bounced like a spring back in your face. the movies were nice. the food was terrible. even though the conditions were terrible, they tried to pressure passengers to relocate their seats to accommodate adults who were related and wanted to sit next to each other, even after the passengers expressed that they did not want to move for that purpose. on the connecting flight, the “service” consisted of items for purchase. even though the flight was only 45 minutes, once again passengers (including me) were pressured to relocate for people to sit next to each other. they couldn’t be apart for 45 minutes? this was much less compelling than being apart for an 8 hour flight.

Everything went smoothly, and we even arrived 40min earlier than scheduled, on an Orland-Madrid route.

The staff was very nice and helpful. Some of the best crew I have met.

Suddenly, I don't find my flight back on the app Help Ticket 0757345716866 Hoeflich Flight back Sunday ib5333 Ib2629 Ib4268

Was all good.l including a sofdrink. AA improved significantly. There was no entertainment.

I've taken British Airways before and it has been great. On this trip to Spain and Portugal we had two BA flights. On both flights we were taken by bus from the terminal out to the plane on the tarmac. There were many older folks on these flights, and to ask people in their 70s to lug their carry-on and personal items up the long mobile staircase to the plane entrance, is very disturbing. I won't be taking British Airways in the future. Many people on these flights were very unhappy.

The food on the flight was of marginal quality. Small bits of chicken, instant mashed potatoes and some carrots. The rolls were very dry, nearly inedible. The seats were quite small and didn’t allow for any shifting of position during the flight. There was limited leg room.0

The seats are so small that you can barely move at all. Don't try to eat with utensils in your seat either - you will elbow your neighbor in the face. Miserably small and I swear they are shrinking every time I fly. Food was meh (per usual), but at least there is free alcohol on an overseas flight. Doesn't make up for sitting in a torture chamber while hurtling through the air with hundreds of fussy people, but it's something. Entertainment options (movies, shows) are okay, nothing special, but at least there are screens, because most of the seats in these large planes do not have adjustable lighting - or air control - that you can get to, it's too high to reach - which makes reading impossible. Zero stars, AA.

Terrible customer service. I booked business class and the counter agent didn’t bother asking me about any choice or preferred seat, basically assigned me that last seat and couldn’t even answer if it was a business class seat. Also iberia lost my suitcase on my flight from JFK to MAD with the layover in BCN. Useless customer service at the counter. Thank goodness I happened to check the baggage claim area of the next flight in…there it was.

The airline was not clear about a new departure time so we got to the airport early anyway. The flight left early which was great because of weather. The check in process was very easy and staff were friendly and helpful. The crew was great and our flight was very good.

Awful it always is unfortunately is the only way to fly direct to london

I travelled in business class and was disappointed by lack of service, curt and borderline rude time of the crew and to top it off, all of my luggage was delayed. It was like pulling teeth to even report the missing luggage and recover it the next day from the airport.

Boarding was poor. All groups called immediately one after the other resulting in a long queue in the jetty/jet bridge. Seats were very hard and and did not recline on a 4.5 hour flight. No food was available. Plane was cold. There was no entertainment.

The cramped seats are cruel and unusual punishment and may violate the Geneva code.

Check in was was and the agent was very friendly and helpful The lounge was nice...boarding was straight from the lounge Everything worked at our seats, and video entertainment was good ..food was mediocre

The flight was excellent in World Travellor plus. Well worth the extra money. Boarding at Phoenix was the usual poorly organized event. Very stressful.

Although business class, the seating was really cramped. The food was so so.

Smooth trip no turbulence which is always a bonus for me lol! In cattle class so an element of being a bit squished (but not as bad as other shorter haul airlines) smaller plane than the one we flew out on and entertainment system wasn’t as modern but still definitely passed the time. Lovely crew x

Flying on the Boeing 787 from Seattle to London was everything that I expected. Every thing was great.
