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

  • 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.

The dear was very limited in space. I could put my water bottle in seat basket. Also, there was no inflight entertainment in the delta app?

The dear was very limited in space. I could put my water bottle in seat basket. Also, there was no inflight entertainment in the delta app?

We were forced to wait nearly 50 additional minutes before leaving the terminal.

Customer service at the gate in the flight was exceptional. On time. Aircraft and seat was decent. Thanks Delta. 💗

All fine save for the abominable catering. Really gone downhill. We found it all inedible.

The WiFi has been awful on my last few Delta Air Lines flights.

Only one side of the heafphone jack work. Crew was friendly and helpful.

Typical flying experience in the US. Nothing particularly good or bad.

I was able to select a gluten free meal for my outbound flight operated by KLM but my selection wasn’t saved on Delta so I ended up not having a hot meal. The cabin crew was nice enough to offer some cheese so I could pair it with some gf crackers I had. The seat would recline but slowly but surely would come back up so I couldn’t sleep as I would have wanted to.

Forced to check my bag which fit in carry on, boarded and then sat for over an hour waiting to take off with no explanation.

7 hour delay for mechanical reasons Handled badly by crew and delta personnel

We had an unfortunate experience where we had to leave the aircraft after boarding, shortly before the scheduled takeoff time, and re-board. The reason given was that a passenger felt ill and had to cancel their plans and therefor their luggage had to be found and removed.

We’ve used VA before many times the experience is always been good they have lovely staff and the food is always delicious.

Everything about the flight was amazing from check in to boarding entertainment was okay food we didn’t try.

Seats were old and dirty, for a long haul flight you expect to be able to recline and for the av to work properly. Choice for vegans was fruit….

The Virgin Atlantic crew was very good. However, the equipment was OK, the seats were OK, but her bags did not arrive with me. Two bags showed up a day later and I’m still waiting for my third back.

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.

Flight delayed yet again. Crew apathetic and unhelpful re affect on connecting flight.

I think Virgin is one of the best flying experiences, especially from/to the UK. The staff are so helpful and fun, the food is good, seats comfortable, goof entertainment and great value. Check in and boarding is pretty pain free. I also find that the other passengers are generally so kind and considerate than when I've flown other airlines.

Cabin crew on our flight showed lack of any customer service gruff and acting annoyed if you asked anything and I mean anything Example a man on the seat over dropped his beer on my husbands blanket We asked if we could switch out blankets cabin crew Said. No we don’t have any extras OK well can you take the wet one Cabin crew looked disgusted and annoyed Took it no OK or yes just a growl
