Cheap flights from New York to London

New York to London is the busiest long-haul route in the world, and that competition is exactly why fares stay low. British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, American, Delta, United, JetBlue and budget carrier Norse all fight over the same seats, so the cheapest one-way we currently track is $189. The flight runs about seven hours eastbound, usually an overnight that lands you in London by morning.

When to book

January and February are the cheapest months, along with the first three weeks of November. Prices climb hard for summer and again the week before Christmas. Most JFK departures land at Heathrow, but check Gatwick fares too, since the trains into central London cost about the same from either airport.

Landed and want to keep moving? London sits two hours twenty from Paris on the Eurostar, so pairing the two makes an easy first Europe trip. Read the London city guide before you go, or compare it with Paris if you are still deciding where to start.
