Flights from O'Hare Intl to Heathrow: the best tips from KAYAK users' own experiences

Insights shared by verified travelers who flew the route from O'Hare Intl to Heathrow 
Verified travelerFlew with British AirwaysMar 2026
Take early morning flights to adjust to weather-related delays.
Verified travelerFlew with British AirwaysJun 2025
Get a wheel chair if you have difficulty walking
JoeFlew with IberiaApr 2025
Get there early. Nice airport options while you wait.
Verified travelerFlew with IberiaMay 2025
Get to the airport early so you’re relaxed. Con yourself into believing it’s bedtime and try to sleep so that you can keep going all day when you get there. If you can afford more comfy seats it might be worth it - though I always have the cheap ones so I can’t say for sure. Try very hard not to. sit in the middle. I’m small and the guy next to me played games all night and didn’t care that he continually ( with every move) jabbed me with his arm. This was my first flight with Cheap Flights and it was far less convenient than other times I’ve flown overseas.
DinaFlew with United AirlinesJan 2025
Anticipate delays, prepare for long walks through Heathrow to baggage claim or for connections.
KariFlew with British AirwaysMay 2024
Always check to confirm your assistance is in system. No wheelchair waiting for me in London. Had no clue about airport or how to get around. Got lost easy

Find a flight where you are allowed to choose your seats before the day of boarding for anything international.
