Make sure to allow ample time between connecting flights. I have to hoof it when I realized that TSA required bags to be picked up and rechecked.
Verified travelerFlew with IberiaLHR-PDXApr 2025
British Airways made a nine hour flight pretty tolerable. Friendly staff, decent food and entertainment. Would choose again in the future
Verified travelerFlew with British AirwaysLHR-BOSMar 2025
Try to get an aisle seat and walk around the plane as often as possible. Your legs will thank you
Verified travelerFlew with Singapore AirlinesMAN-IAHApr 2025
Book direct with the airline and not through an agent.
MichaelFlew with British AirwaysLHR-ORDApr 2025
Have a light luggage as much as you can. Boarding gate walk is not a joke.
Verified travelerFlew with IberiaLHR-JFKApr 2025
DO NOT BOOK THROUGH THIRD PARTIES. BOOK DIRECTLY THROUGH THE AIRLINE
ShawnFlew with British AirwaysLHR-BOSDec 2024
Know that gates are posted just about an hour before takeoff and it takes a bit of time to actually get to the gate. If you make a mistake there is no train back- you have to walk to the correct area and that are at least 10 minutes apart. Make sure to have ALL liquids ready to place in the tray at TSA
Verified travelerFlew with British AirwaysLHR-JFKJan 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.
Verified travelerFlew with British AirwaysLHR-DENFeb 2025
I choose BA because they are at least consistent. And when we had a long delay and missed our connection they compensated us.
AlastairFlew with British AirwaysLHR-SFOFeb 2025
Make sure your free checked luggage is for outward and return flights.
JamesFlew with Virgin AtlanticLHR-MCODec 2024
We flew British Airways heading over and it was a better experience.
JaiFlew with British AirwaysLHR-BOSJan 2025
The boarding area was a bit crowded. The restaurants are serviceable, but not great.
DavidFlew with Aer LingusMAN-JFKJan 2025
Definitely not using Aer Lingus again. My rebooked flight this morning is already delayed and I will probably miss my connection.
Verified travelerFlew with United AirlinesLHR-EWRSep 2024
Heathrow was surprisingly empty, not sure if I was just lucky with the time. My transfer from Vienna was seamless, I had enough time not to rush and not too much time to get bored. I did fly with a carry on which made my trip so much more enjoyable since my last trip to Vienna through Frankfurt was a nightmare both ways my luggage was left in Frankfurt . I definitely chose my fight not through Frankfurt because of that. Newark is my preferred New York airport , arrival was a breeze
786ottoFlew with FinnairLHR-JFKSep 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 AirwaysLHR-SANSep 2024
Flight overall is good. Service is very good. Bring yourself some snacks, in case the food isn’t up to your taste.
Verified travelerFlew with British AirwaysLHR-ORDSep 2024
BA had great food, should have brought a few more snacks and dressed more warmly though!
CherylFlew with British AirwaysLHR-ORDOct 2024
Make sure you pay extra for a seat. Otherwise you may not have a flight.
MeganFlew with IberiaLHR-LAXSep 2024
Pack light and know you can always get stuff when you land.
Verified travelerFlew with British AirwaysLHR-BWINov 2024
Beware of London underground and bus schedules always allow plenty (double?) advertised schedule timing for services to LHR, from city and suburbs!
ChristopherFlew with British AirwaysLHR-CVGNov 2024
Love having direct service between these two cities. Plane feels a bit outdated and uncomfortable.
KennethFlew with IberiaLHR-EWROct 2024
Heathrow is a large busy airport that requires a lot of walking.
SarelaFlew with British AirwaysLHR-JFKSep 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.
CarolFlew with British AirwaysLGW-MCOOct 2024
Take the 10.40 flight not the 14.30 as it took nearly 2 hours to clear Orlando airport as there weren’t many immigration staff on duty - when i did it last year I breezed through at the earlier time
SYBIL BRENNANFlew with British AirwaysLGW-MCOSep 2024
Beware that they can change your flight last minute and put you on a flight that arrives to a different airport from your connecting flight. You are responsible for finding the transport to your connecting flight
Verified travelerFlew with British AirwaysLHR-EWRSep 2024
Do NOT choose BA! I will no longer use BA because of their lack of alternate planning! I would have been stranded in Zagreb for 2 extra days!
Verified travelerFlew with British AirwaysLHR-JFKAug 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.
Verified travelerFlew with American AirlinesLHR-PHLJul 2024
Make sure you are at the airport at least 3 hours early to ensure that you can check in, go through security, and so that you can find your departure gate within plenty of time so you are not rushing.
JamesFlew with British AirwaysLGW-MCOJun 2024
When Checkin in at the airport, if you request a window seat make sure it is a window seat and ask to see a seating plan before you accept the seat.
Verified travelerFlew with British AirwaysLHR-ORDJul 2024
Gate 10 is a train wreck because there are multiple gates distinguished by a letter following A10. If possible get there as quickly as possible to find the appropriate gate.
KateFlew with British AirwaysLHR-DFWJun 2024
Leave plenty of time for layover in US as the queues for immigration are very long and you are likely to miss your connecting flight
Verified travelerFlew with British AirwaysLHR-PITJun 2024
By your own food and have your own music. Upgrade your seat if you have the funds!
KatarzynaFlew with British AirwaysLHR-IADJun 2024
It would be nice to know beforehand which aircraft is flying on that route.
DeborahFlew with IberiaLGW-MCOJun 2024
Most of the main airlines have good boarding, entertainment and flight experience
Verified travelerFlew with British AirwaysLHR-ORDJun 2024
Person’s should do their due diligence of airlines before booking flights.
BrianFlew with British AirwaysLHR-IADJul 2024
Fly KLM or Lufthansa or any carrier besides British Airways.
TracyFlew with British AirwaysLHR-LASJul 2024
Again, connecting flights can always be a challenge. All you do is prepare for the worse and be patient.
PhilFlew with British AirwaysLHR-DENAug 2024
Sit in the front part of the plane if you want service.
WendyFlew with IberiaLHR-PITJul 2024
This is a good service to a smaller gateway airport. It's usually full. This service is why we selected BA. If you've prepaid for your seats be prepared for them to switch the plane configuration and reassign your seats. You'll have to apply for this refund too since it's not automatic. These refunds should be automatic not a chore for you to get your money back, especially when you have selected seats you personally want.
SimonFlew with British AirwaysLHR-LAXJun 2024
If flying business class I’d research which cabin your aircraft operates. BA have some old business class on the 380 and new business class on the 777. (And 350). The new cabin is so much better. But the food just isn’t as good as it used to be
AntonellaFlew with IberiaLHR-EWRJul 2024
London makes you take out every single toiletry even below 100ml and if they don’t all fit in one tiny bag, they make you throw it away. Check everything in your checked luggage!
Anne KatherineFlew with IberiaLHR-PHLJul 2024
Need more snacks. As meals not big and need more to eat Also take own water on board as not enough drinks offered from cabin crew - can feel dehydrated during flight
JeffFlew with British AirwaysLHR-IADAug 2024
We booked with American due to code share. Would try any other business class except British Airways.
RyanFlew with British AirwaysLHR-PHXJul 2024
Don't fly British airways. They are late and their response was not adequate for the circumstance.
Jan-FlorinFlew with American AirlinesLHR-LASJun 2024
Take a lot of patience as there is no smoking ward in the whole airport.
PamFlew with IberiaLGW-MCOApr 2024
If flown with various airlines over 25 years, they have all been very good, I wouldn't date one over the other fur service, baggage allowance and flight cost are my deciding factors. Terminal C the new term I am at Orlando is very spacious, clean, clear signage, but be aware there is a 10 minute walk from the plane to the luggage collection and border control area. Ask for assistance if you have any issues walking that far yourself or with children.
ElizabethFlew with DeltaLHR-JFKMar 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.
Verified travelerFlew with American AirlinesLHR-SFOMar 2024
Heathrow is vast, allow plenty of time to drop bags and go through security. At San Francisco the immigration takes a bit of time and we had to wait around 1.5hrs, bare this in mind when booking car rental. The is a shuttle train from the airport to the car rental area which is very slick and efficient.
SuzanneFlew with British AirwaysLHR-PITMay 2024
1 - bring a portable battery backup because you can't rely on the outlets at your seat to be working. 2 - download movies/shows to your device, because you can't rely on your headphones or screen to be working. 3 - download any work, as possible, to your laptop, because you can't rely on WiFi to be working.
JenniferFlew with United AirlinesLHR-IADMay 2024
Good luck with the flight, make sure you eat before you board the plane because that's a long flight for the food that is served on that plane.
Juan LuisFlew with DeltaLHR-JFKApr 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.
EmilyFlew with British AirwaysLHR-ORDMar 2024
Bring as few liquids as possible or put them in checked bag. They are very strict at Heathrow about all of them fitting into one small ziplock bag
Verified travelerFlew with British AirwaysLHR-BOSMar 2024
If you are arriving on a late flight check in to an airport hotel at Logan. Good choice, easy access and good start to your trip
Verified travelerFlew with American AirlinesLHR-LAXMar 2024
book with american airlines they are very nice! food is amazing so you don't need to buy foods before you board.

BA is very good and I would travel with them again. the crews are wonderful

Arrange a wheelchair and hope it arrives if you are at all handicapped.

If you haven't flown with them before, try British Airways. A great experience.

everything went smoothly, found my connection very easily
Ana-MariaFlew with IberiaLHR-SFOMar 2024
In London triple check your flight they have multiple leaving for the same destination once - it is easy to get them confused
RickFlew with British AirwaysLHR-BNAMay 2024
Not a big fan of British Air but use them due to nonstop flights from Nashville. Have flown 12-15 legs with them and seems to be some issue with delays, equipment, etc. most of the time. The new aircraft is a big upgrade in business class seating, Also, LHR is always a hassle to connect through but due to the nonstop from BNA, we will probably continue using BA.
RandyFlew with British AirwaysLHR-BOSMay 2024
Be aware that the cost for your luggage has gone up to $75!!
Verified travelerFlew with British AirwaysLHR-AUSMar 2024
Eat before your flight if possible as inflight meals are pretty bad.

Heathrow is not an easy place to fly from
Verified travelerFlew with British AirwaysLHR-DENDec 2023
We always fly BA or AA. They have a direct flight to and from Denver. We prefer British airlines and always fly through Heathrow It’s a massive airport but pretty easy to navigate even from the train station and the underground
FarhanFlew with British AirwaysLHR-EWRJan 2024
Update your planes, clean your planes. Update ur systems, update your touchscreen it is not 2010. Update the food selection and chefs who are making food. Add more variety! Clean your planes!
KaishaFlew with British AirwaysLHR-MSYFeb 2024
If flying during Mardi Gras season, prebook a cab from the airport as you may be waiting a while. Security is swift
StephenFlew with British AirwaysLHR-BOSJan 2024
My best tip is make a ton of money, so you can afford to fly business or first class.
SarahFlew with British AirwaysLHR-PHXFeb 2024
Emirates airlines and qatar airways are the best i have tried

LeviFlew with British AirwaysLHR-AUSJan 2024
Consider paying premium to stay out of economy.
Verified travelerFlew with American AirlinesLGW-MCOFeb 2024
The more you can do at home online before you leave makes it easier for you to just enjoy the airport before your flight. And just remember if you purchase food from WH SMITHS to eat it or bin it on the plane because it will add 30 minutes on your journey been escorted to extra security for having sandwiches. A reminder on the plane about food items to dispose it before you leave the plane would have helped.
WarrenFlew with United AirlinesLHR-IAHJan 2024
The ground transportation situation (Uber, taxis) at International Arrivals (Terminals D/E) is frankly pathetic for a major American city. Way too many people and cars for the allotted space. I would recommend taking the mini-train to another terminal (A,B or C) and getting an Uber there, rather than trying to navigate International.
Verified travelerFlew with British AirwaysLHR-EWRFeb 2024
Even if you have a long layover, be prepared to travel a long distance to your gate once it gets announced. Do not delay in heading to the gate. Be prepared for a very crowded airport experience.
Verified travelerFlew with FinnairLHR-BOSDec 2023
If you’re looking for a hassle free and good customer experience, avoid BA; Fly American. As soon as you board the plane, set your watch to local US time to help adjust to the time difference.
