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

Insights shared by verified travellers who flew the route from London 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 FinnairSep 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.
SarelaFlew with British AirwaysSep 2024
We were delayed and when we arrived there was a strike so getting through security to connect was a hassle as we had to go to another terminal and then return. We barley had time to make our connection.
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.
ElizabethFlew with DeltaMar 2024
Delta is my go to airline when I fly they have never lost my luggage or made me miss a connecting flight. The one time I missed a connecting flight because TSA was shorthanded and border entry lines were massive Delta booked me on a new flight the following morning and put me in a hotel for the night. 95% of Delta employees are friendly, cheerful and appear to be happy to to take time to help their customers.
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.
VaitsaFlew with British AirwaysApr 2024
Be on time and be ready for gate changes!!
MandyFlew with British AirwaysJan 2024
I think night flight is always the way to go.
