About this route
New York to London flights
New York to London flights are predominantly overnight, departing 7-11pm and landing 7-11am UK time.
The eastbound flight is faster (6-7 hours vs 7-8 hours westbound) due to the jet stream. This helps with sleep timing but means earlier UK arrivals.
If you're in the US tracking someone flying home to the UK, they land while you're still asleep (7-11am London is 2-6am New York).
Heathrow arrivals from JFK use: - Terminal 5: British Airways - Terminal 3: Virgin Atlantic, American - Terminal 2: United (Star Alliance)
Morning arrivals at Heathrow can face traffic congestion. If you're picking someone up, a landing alert gives you time to check M25/A4 conditions.
JFK departures use the same terminal assignments as arrivals. Newark is United's hub.
