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 £217 or less one-way and £429 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.

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

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

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.

Super friendly and helpful staff, from check-in desk to cabin crew.

Good overall. Cannot fault the airlines. I have had better entertainment systems before ie ice in Emirates but it was not too bad. Food was decent and staff were friendly.

Miami airport needs more thorough signage. It was a long walk from my transport point to the check in desk,

Flight took off an hour late. Had to stay on the tarmac for half an hour after landing. Both annoying.

The crew was very good. However, the equipment was a bit dated. Some of the electronics were not working. To top it, three bags didn’t arrive with me. Two of them were delivered a day later. I’m still waiting for the third bag, I was so looking forward to this virgin Atlantic flight, but, I am disappointed.

My only complaint is that the pocket in front of me was ripped and my things, like iPad and airline magazines, kept slipping to the floor.

We originally had a window seat. Our seats were changed to the center isle between 2 bathrooms. This was a red eye flight and we were traveling with an infant. Due to the light from the bathroom doors opening and closing throughout the night our infant would not sleep and cried the whole night which kept us awake and everyone around us. It was a very unpleasant experience for everyone trying to sleep.

I was very disappointed with my experience at the United Airlines baggage check. The representative was rude and unhelpful. I was required to remove approximately 1.5 pounds from my two checked bags, even though it was a very small amount over the limit. The interaction was unnecessarily unpleasant, and I expected much better customer service. I hope United will review this incident and provide additional customer service training to its staff.

Cree was organized and pleasant. Plane had good seating but as it’s a shuttle toilets hadn’t been thoroughly cleaned (eg. bins too full)

Some flight attendants were great others were cranky. Seats were very tight and sitting on an aisle was very hard as the carts and people walking constantly bumped shoulder and arm.

Although the flight was delayed the crew and the flight itself were very good. Couldn't fault anything and after the disappointment of being abandoned in the US by BA it was a welcome relief to travel with United

Liked fold flat bed. Didn’t like having no window. Didn’t like poor choice of food and being served dinner very late, hours after take off of a 7:40pm flight. Servers not friendly. Food horrible in business class.

The flight was heavily booked so boarding was a lengthy process. The FA’s were rather abrupt during this process but became more gracious as the flight went on. Breakfast (puffed pastry and chewy sausage) was pretty horrible but there was fruit and yogurt which they didn’t mess up. Overall it was fine.

Fight was delayed an hour due to operational issues ,then further delayed due to ground control for a total of about 1.30 hours. Salad was completely frozen and flatware was so cold you could barely handle it. Crew was friendly and professional and the flight was smooth. The aircraft was clean and well-serviced.

Everything could’ve been better. The boarding process was a little tedious, and then they put me in a seat with the window did not open, which gave me a very uncomfortable feeling considering I had told them that. The entertainment system didn’t work for quite some time and because I had to heavily medicate myself to not have a panic attack I missed dinner and barely ate anything on the flight. Not to mention the religious man next to me, praying mostly and humming the whole flight.

EWR terminal C United Club is great. Flight and everything else mediocre

Very bad , airplain had problem with engines , had to evacuate, had a delay on my trip for almost 4 hours , lost my rental car in london..

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.

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

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.

Longest check in line I have ever seen- brutal and airline personnel hustled me about the size of my bag even though I showed them that it measured exactly to the measurements posted on their site. Just super annoying- I get it - it’s a budget airline and you get what you pay for. Most of the flight were young people who seemed to have never experienced international travel. It’s worth paying for a seat otherwise you will be uncomfortable.

The crew really made the difference. Some of the friendliest cabin crew I have ever encountered- they seemed genuinely happy to be there, and took pride in their airline and aircraft. The Dreamliner was quieter than legacy aircraft and while meals weren’t to our preference, they were at least something to keep us going!

Excellent! Although it stinks to pay extra for leg room and then have no screen option.

Overall a great experience. Only complaint was the movie selection was pretty limited, but that's pretty minor in the grand scheme of things and easy to overcome.

No blanket pillow headphones, not even a water or snack makes for a very uncomfortable flight. There are too many extra fees that should be basic and standard included.

There was no communication about the check-in process, even the fact that Norse doesn’t do online check-in! And once we were at the Los Angeles airport (LAX), there was no signage or assistance about where to check in. I kept Googling for 3rd party information until I finally found on the airport website that we had to check in at Terminal 1 and be bussed back to Terminal B, the international terminal. How were we supposed to know that?! Otherwise, the flight itself was comfortable and the attendants were helpful and friendly. I just feel like we were lucky to have managed the check-in and boarding process on our own - why keep it a secret??

The flight was delayed. I upgraded to more room. I can't imagine how small the regular seats are I haven't upgraded for my return flight yet.

see my previous response about being kicked off the flight and having to fly the next day, ruining a planned vacation tour.

It was a smooth flight and the pilot was very pleasant

Flight was cancelled, no support at JFK even though it is their main hub.. wait times on the phone was very long

When I agreed to give up my two seats because of overbooking by the airline, I should have been offered some sort of reward or credit towards a future flight. I was not. It was not until the next day when I mentioned it to a Jet Blue employee that I was advised to call 1-800-JetBlue. So here I am, having done Jet Blue a favor and I had to do the work to find out if I was going to get a credit. Such service

The food took two hours to be delivered to my seat, when I'm on an overnight flight I want to sleep asap after take off

Domestic flights are good. Just stay away from international travel

First the flt was delayed over 2 hrs bc of plane mechanics that should have been handled better! No text or email was sent so only found out at the airport so there we sat for 5 hours! THATS RIDICULOUS! The gate area was filthy! No agents showed up till hr before so no additional info was given-waited online for 15 mins while the gate agent chatted and got together then given last seat in back of plane!! No priority for senior or anything-took attendants over 2hrs to serve drinks and snack-WHY are they not served together? By time snack came needed another drink! Worst service in my life!

All the TV screens in my rows was non functional . The map shown for an international route was antiqued..

Flight was fine, price was good but food onboard was abysmal. I was on there for breakfast and lunch and dinner 845am EST to 845pm GMT and all I got was a yoghurt parfait, fruit and a piece of cake. Later snacks included an ice-cream brownie and a pizza twist. I was hungry by the time I landed and the airport amenities were closed. Not happy.

Flight was good but temp in the cabin was cold.

The seats in Premier Economy were very comfortable. The food was better than average. The way British Airways handled our seating was atrocious.

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.

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

I was sleeping during dinner service, no one bothered to offer meal later, I remained hungry….until I got a morning sandwich!

Very caring crew on board. Didn’t have dinner as I was sleeping. Was seating in the emergency row so I had comfortable leg room

Although the crew were great and the good nice, I might as well have been on Ryanair for the amount of space I had. Not good enough BA. I’d rather pay more and not feel like a human sardine.

Crew were fantastic can’t fault them at all. Couldn’t do enough for us

They’ve lost my bag and I have no way of really getting in touch with anyone and have received no updates.
