Flights from Heathrow to John F Kennedy Intl: the best tips from KAYAK users' own experiences

Insights shared by verified travellers who flew the route from Heathrow to John F Kennedy Intl 
Verified travelerFlew with British AirwaysJan 2025
Prepare for the unexpected. It’s a long flight and anything can happen. Have some snacks and drinks with you. And other emergency items you may need.
786ottoFlew with FinnairSept 2024
If you have tight connection and previous flight is late , don't panic they will wait for you if you have connecting flight with same airline.
Verified travelerFlew with British AirwaysAug 2024
People have to make sure they have plenty of time (2 hours minimum) if they need to change terminals. Heathrow is a monster airport, it's giant, so if you want to shop or eat or just look around, you need more than 2 hours between flights. Otherwise, it's great, the security was fast but thorough. I loved that I did not have to remove my shoes and the employees were patient and polite, not like at JFK. The shuttle buses are annoying, but at a huge airport like Heathrow, it's a must. The drivers of the shuttles are crazy, they don't care if people are falling down or not, they drive aggressively. However, people cannot fall down because the buses are packed to the gills. So, instead of shuttles, a looping airtrain would be a much more convenient and probably faster way of connecting the terminals, just like at JFK. The frequent flights between London and New York are much appreciated.
Juan LuisFlew with DeltaApr 2024
- Enter as much information as possible using the Delta or Virgin Atlantic app. - Confirm which is the Terminal of your departure. - Arrive three hours early at the airport.

Great staff great experience, made a 2 hour delay very bearable

Great staff, great experience, made a 2 hour delay very bearable

Food was the worst I’ve had on a VA flight. Normally it’s a lot better

I was my pleasure to fly virgin on my birthday for my first solo trip ever 🫶🏼

These are one of the older seat arrangements facing away from the windows! Not particularly convenient sets. No storage spaces. NO COAT HANGING HOOKS. Inconvenient business class seat compared to any other airlines of similar class. Staff are excellent! Extremely professional, friendly. Food is good too.

Overall, flight was excellent but check in was very slow for Premium Economy. Economy queue was shorter but we weren't allowed to use it.

The staff was not very polite but the flight was very very nice and comfortable and the entertainment was great

Great crew - old style upper class seats on the older fleet now feels dated

Premium economy more comfortable than economy, but not by much. Did was awful, do not try the omelette. Flight crew were helpful. Flight was delayed by over an hour. Overall but bad, arrived safely and thank God.

Food was excellent. Service was very good. Staff was very helpful to all passengers.

There might be more food options for people who can't eat so much starch/sugar/bread/rice. Meat, cheese, walnuts/pecans for snack, maybe jerky or other kinds of meat-based snacks would be better than bread and rice and sweets. I had an extra chardonnay, which was fine. The entertainment was great.

Unfortunately, my flight was cancelled because of some sort of emergency over the Atlantic and had to return to London. While I think British Airways made every effort to mitigate the situation, I must say it was still pretty unpleasant. I do appreciate the fact, however, that British Airways put my safety first…and I think the effort to correct a bad situation was very sincere. But I think the process might be handled better in future.

Crew service was poor and very little difference between premium economy and economy. Disappointed.

My bags never made it on the flight and I now have to wait for them to arrive hopefully tomorrow. You can’t even track your bags in the app to see where they are since they didn’t arrive. You have to file a claim and then wait for them to inform you when you will receive your bag. We were already delayed for an hour due to baggage so I don’t understand how my bag didn’t make the flight.

1. The website didn’t allow me to checkin from London as I have Bangladesh passport with US permanent resident card. This pushed me to sit with my wife in the middle of two aisle seats, terrible experience! 2. BA should allow within 24 hours to checkin with other passport holders to choose better seats. A 2nd verification of travel documents can be done at the desk about immigration status. 3. Food options were poor for vegetarian passengers, try to introduce healthy options avoiding carb-dense food ingredients.

It was perfect. The service was exceptional. I would never want to cross the Atlantic in anyone else's sardine tins.

I paid for full WIFI- it was terrible, kept being in and out could not listen to a podcast

It was ok. Our flight was delayed 2 hours, and then again on arrival. The explanation given felt feeble.

The gate at London Gatwick had confusing signs for the different zones and the staff seemed harried because people didn't know when it was their turn to come to the desk. Plus, with there were too many carry-on bag travelers, myself included. The charge scheme for checking bags is frustrating. If you travel light, you want the freedom to leave as soon as you deplane. When you are forced to gate-check your bag simply because the flight is fully booked, you lose whatever time you'd hoped to save because you're still stuck waiting for your bag to come off the conveyor belt.

3/4 bags delayed and 1/4 damaged at the other end. Flight was freezing
