Pay for your bags at time of arrival and not through a third party site, they will rip you off!
Verified travelerFlew with British AirwaysEWR-LHRApr 2025
Be ready for checking luggage and going through security. We did and sailed right through.
RachelFlew with American AirlinesJFK-LHRNov 2024
London Heathrow is absolutely disorganized. You need 2 hours between flights at a minimum.
Verified travelerFlew with IberiaJFK-LHRJun 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.
HashemFlew with United AirlinesEWR-LHRJul 2024
I don’t think any airline has the best boarding. Maybe American Airlines has the most comfortable and up-to-date airplanes. Always go super early to any airport leave an apple AirTag in your bag always ask Agent if your chair and or seat will be properly working
CynthiaFlew with IberiaJFK-LHRMay 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 AirwaysJFK-LHRMay 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 AirwaysJFK-LHRApr 2024
Be early and pay attention to gate changes.
Verified travelerFlew with British AirwaysEWR-LHRFeb 2024
BA is the only check in located on the first floor of Terminal B behind the baggage ans escalators. It is very hard to find. However, arriving early meant check in was a breeze and NO LINE at security. That has never happened at any airport. They are doing it right.
leaniepenneFlew with British AirwaysJFK-LHRJan 2024
Dress appropriate for the season and be comfortable, arrive early for checking in case there are unexpected changes or delays.
