About this route
London to New York flights
London to New York is one of the world's busiest routes with 30+ daily departures from Heathrow alone.
The timezone challenge: Flights depart 6-10pm UK time and land 9pm-1am New York time. That's 2am-6am UK time. You're asleep when they land.
JFK has 6 separate terminals with no airside connection: - British Airways: Terminal 7 (compact, fast exit) - Virgin Atlantic: Terminal 4 (Delta's hub, larger) - American: Terminal 8 - Delta: Terminal 4 - United: Uses Newark (EWR) not JFK
JFK customs queues can be brutal at peak times. "Landed at JFK" means 45-90 minutes until they're out.
Newark is United's hub and often has shorter customs queues. From Newark, the train to Penn Station takes 25 minutes.
Evening departures are most common. Morning departures exist but are less frequent.
