Flights from London to New York: the best tips from KAYAK users' own experiences

Insights shared by verified travelers who flew the route from London to New York 
Verified travelerFlew with British Airways-May 2025
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.
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.
KennethFlew with Iberia-Oct 2024
Heathrow is a large busy airport that requires a lot of walking.
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.
AntonellaFlew with Iberia-Jul 2024
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!
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.
Verified travelerFlew with British Airways-Feb 2024
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.

Your guide to booking London to New York flights

Get tips on when to book, when to fly, and what to know before your trip.
  • If your dates are flexible, aim for a Wednesday departure and avoid flying on Sunday. On this route, Wednesday flights average ₪2,101, about ₪251 less than Sunday fares (11% savings) based on the last 12 months.
  • For the best chance at a low fare, aim to book around 14 weeks before you fly. On this route, that window historically saves about 26% versus last-minute pricing (KAYAK booking data, last 12 months).
  • If you can choose when to travel, plan your London to New York trip for February. Fares historically average ₪1,668 round-trip in that month - typically ₪903 less than the most expensive month, which is July (based on the last 12 months).
  • For the best chance of arriving on time, fly with JetBlue. Over the past three months, 91% of JetBlue flights from London to New York arrived on time, slightly above the route average of 89%. When flights on this route arrive late, they're delayed by an average of 3h 03m, so choosing an airline with strong on-time performance can make a difference if you're on a tight schedule.
  • If you have the time, taking a 1-stop flight through Halifax Intl Airport (YHZ) can be cheaper than flying nonstop. The cheapest layover option averages ₪1,436 round-trip on this route – about ₪774 less than nonstop flights (based on the last 12 months).
  • When you’re booking flights from London to New York, there’s a good chance you’ll fly out of London Heathrow Airport. Heathrow is the second busiest airport in the world by international traffic, and houses the vast majority of direct flights to the airports in New York. Flights out of Gatwick can also be found, with indirect flights coming out of all major London Airports.
  • Your flight to New York can land in several different airports, with JFK Airport housing the most direct flights from London and Newark Airport in New Jersey housing the second most. Both airports are about an hour away from the city by public transport; however, Newark Airport is more convenient to the West side of Manhattan, and JFK is more convenient to the East side.
  • Both airports offer an AirTrain service that connects with public transport for easy connections. Newark connects to the NJ Path transit system, which will get you to the Manhattan city centre for around $7.75 (£6.00) total. JFK connects to the NYC metro and Long Island Railroad to get you to Penn Station for around $22(£17) using the Long Island Railroad, which can take around 35 minutes, or around $10(£8) via the E train, which can take just over an hour.
  • The average flight from London to New York is 8 hours long, so it can be practical to grab a bite to eat before the plane departs. London Heathrow Airport features 35 different dining options, from a quick scone and tea and to a high-end meal. There are dining options spread throughout several of the terminals, so feel free to wander about if you’re feeling a bit peckish and not certain what you’re in the mood for.
  • If you need to leave your car at Heathrow, there are several airport parking options available. Hourly parking at Heathrow Airport starts at around £6 per hour and is available at Terminals 2, 3, 4 and 5. Long-stay parking is available at car parks reachable from all Terminals via shuttle bus, and starts at around £24 per day.
  • When you take a flight from London to New York, you will find that the majority of flights leave during peak times, which means that the airport is often busy. If you want to save time when travelling through the airport, you can use the fast track service in place to get through the security checks faster. For instance, at London Heathrow Airport (LHR) this costs around £12.50 per passenger, whereas at Gatwick Airport (LGW) it is about £5 per person.
  • You can get to London Airports (LON) easily before your flight. If you depart from Heathrow, which offers direct flights, you can use the Piccadilly Line from the centre of the city, the Heathrow Express from Paddington Train Station or a National Express bus from Victoria Coach Station. In contrast, if you are departing from Gatwick, which also operates a direct route, you can use the Gatwick Express from Victoria Train Station.
  • When you land at New York Airports (NYC), it’s easy to continue your journey on to nearby cities. For example, if you land at John F. Kennedy Airport (JFK), you can drive to New Haven in about 1h 45min or Philadelphia in around 2 hours. From Newark International Airport (EWR), you can get to Trenton in approximately 55 minutes by car or Allentown in about 1h 50min.
