Gate assignments are made shortly before boarding and each letter dedicated terminal group is separated by a long walk or a crowded rail ride. The metro ride between the terminals and the city can be complicated if you go in with no research. We consider ourselves capable people but Londons rail system is a mess to get a grasp of.

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.

London makes you take out every single toiletry even below 100ml and if they don’t all fit in one tiny bag, they make you throw it away. Check everything in your checked luggage!

- 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.

Even if you have a long layover, be prepared to travel a long distance to your gate once it gets announced. Do not delay in heading to the gate. Be prepared for a very crowded airport experience.

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

  • Looking for a cheap flight? 25% of our users found flights on this route for ₪2,792 or less round-trip.
  • The Heathrow Express is the shuttle train that leaves central London from Paddington Station and takes 15min. However, a more economical way to travel is via the London Underground; it takes longer (up to an hour depending on where you start your journey) but it is much cheaper.
  • If you have an unexpected wait at London Heathrow, one idea might be to visit the art gallery in Terminal 5. The High-Performance Art Gallery aims to showcase existing artists but also helps emerging talent find an audience.
  • London Heathrow can get very busy (it’s the UK’s largest airport) so it can be difficult to find somewhere to take a nap during delays. One solution might be to get some shuteye at Yotel – it’s a hotel in Terminal 4, just past security, where you can rent small sleep cabins by the hour.
  • The Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse in Heathrow’s Terminal 3 is legendary, offering the usual restaurants and bars but also a spa, a library, a screening room and a work room. You will need to be flying Upper Class to use it or, if you have the cash, you can splurge on a day pass.
  • One of the more accessible lounges from a cost perspective is Heathrow's Terminal 3 Traveller Lounge where you can book a massage, slink into a comfy seat, and drink a cocktail while you wait for your flight.
  • London Heathrow Airport (LHR) offers several dedicated children's play areas across its terminals. Terminals 2 and 5 have colourful and interactive play zones. Terminal 4 features a play area called "Kids' Zone" near Gate 16. These provide a safe environment for children to unwind and stay entertained during their time at the airport.
  • For an early morning flight from Heathrow Airport, some of the best on-site hotels to consider are the Hilton Hotel, Sofitel, and YOTELAIR. These hotels offer convenient access to terminals, comfortable accommodations, and amenities tailored to meet the needs of travellers with early departures.

I flew four flights on British Airways within two weeks. I was unable to download the boarding pass to my phone for any of the four flights. I could check-in for my flight but the system would not give me boarding pass. I tried multiple ways and multiple times. I discovered many other passengers also had the same issue with their boarding passes. No explanation or acknowledgement by BA.

I flew four flights on British Airways within two weeks. I was unable to download the boarding pass to my phone for any of the four flights. I could check-in for my flight but the system would not give me boarding pass. I tried multiple ways and multiple times. I discovered many other passengers also had the same issue with their boarding passes. No explanation or acknowledgement by BA.

Lovely big plane. Excellent take off and landing. Cabin crew were so nice. Flight in time no delays

Because our ABZ-LHR flight was cancelled by BA for reasons they refuse to tell us--not weather--we did not make this flight and were booked on the following day. BA offered no assistance to us on the phone or in the airport, and we had to find a hotel at Heathrow on our own.

Horrible - flight was delayed by 6 hours - we boarded, were made to de-board due some technical fault; aircraft changed; special meals request on new flight - all went awry. Landed in Dulles airport; breezed thru immigration; as Business Class passengers or baggage was delivered almost 90 minutes after landing; air tags indicated the bags were just near the carousel but the unhelpful BA staff - Maria and Ghina refused to give any update - palming it off on some imaginary invisible “manager” despite air tags evidence showing it right there. So about 50-60 passengers waiting and getting infuriatingly impatient for their bags coz one container was not delivered. Finally after much argument by some other passengers Maria condescended to go to the “ramp” and within 5 minutes the baggage was delivered miraculously. Question is why couldn’t she have done it one hour earlier ? Poor poor experience once again on Business Class BA.

Cheap Flight Fares would not provide booking info. I canceled the reservation and we arbitrated with American Express. They provided erroneous info to Amex and it was determined that C.F.F. deserved the price of the ticket. Worse experience I've ever had.

Seating space is appalling. Seats and all surrounding area in "Economy" is built for individuals shorter than 4' 10" and below 120 lbs. Ridiculous. While I'm not expecting fine dining, the food was the worst airplane food that I can recall.

Business class lounge for my gate was closed and no email was sent, causing me to walk back and forth to different gates, etc for over 20 minutes one way. Flight entertainment was mediocre with very poor choices especially for business class cabin. Original flight was cancelled and rebooking was difficult and no reason given for cancellation.

Very comfortable flight and simple and directed one way and back. Amazing price.

We loved our flight attendant, Emma from Scotland, the meal and entertainment offerings were wonderful, the flight was smooth, and enough leg room to stretch. We would fly with you again!

Los Angeles to London. 25th of April 2026. Business class. I was flying backwards with a complete stranger snoring next to me. In Business class. Males and females, strangers lying next to each other. Seats were backwards. I paid for comfort. I got dizziness and stress.
