Flying from London Heathrow
Heathrow is the UK's main long-haul hub and the airport where full-service carriers concentrate their schedule rather than chase price. Expect five terminals, fast Tube and Elizabeth Line links into central London, and a route map that skews toward business-traveller frequency: more daily slots, fewer fare wars. Short-haul fares from Heathrow tend to run a little higher than Gatwick or Stansted on the same corridor — the trade-off is a wider choice of airline and a more reliable timetable.
Arriving in New York
New York JFK is 24 km southeast of Manhattan, with the AirTrain to Jamaica connecting to the LIRR or Subway in 50–60 minutes for $13.75. BA, Virgin Atlantic, American, Delta and JetBlue all run heavy schedules. Peak season is April–June and September–October — winter is the cheapest window, with January–February delivering the best round-trip fares from the UK.
