About the New York to London route
New York to London is the busiest long-haul route in the world, which makes it one of the best to price by phone: six airlines, two New York airports, three London airports and fares that change by the hour. An agent prices every combination for your dates, including premium economy and business, and reads the total with bags and seat selection included.
- Three London airports
- Heathrow is closest to the centre by train. Gatwick takes JetBlue, Delta and Norse flights and is often cheaper. Stansted has a few low-cost options. Ask which airport each fare uses.
- Overnight or daytime
- Most eastbound flights leave in the evening and land in the morning. A few daytime flights exist and some travellers prefer them. Say which you want.
