Flights from Europe to North Carolina: the best tips from KAYAK users

Insights shared by verified travelers who flew the route from Europe to North Carolina 
Verified travelerFlew with British Airways-Oct 2026
London Heathrow airport is huge but very physically constrained due to surrounding development. The bus system at the airport can be confusing and pays to investigate before arriving. Bring multiple layers as cabin temperatures can be lower than expected. The Charlotte Airport is a breeze compared to Heathrow. Foreign travelers must expect long lines at immigration in Charlotte.
Verified travelerFlew with American Airlines-Jul 2026
Loved my flights with British airways and American Airlines. Be aware of long walking commute at Heathrow if you come from other airport. I found that a challenge. I had not asked for a wheelchair because I can walk but it's a long commute when carrying a heavy bag. Wished there were more travelators/moving walkways available at Heathrow. Otherwise very easy and very pleasant airport. Comfortable waiting areas at gates.

First if you are traveling from Europe to the US or UK be prepared with your patience to get through the passport control and know you have quite a walk ahead of you once you get through. Second: Prepare for the bus if going to US. The D terminal is like a bus station, limited seating and more of a set up to huddle groups together in order to climb on bus that will drive you out to your plain which involves rambling up stairs with your carry ons. Third, if flying Icelandic bring food and drink unless you are in Sage/Business class. All items are ala carte and you need to ask a steward for them.

Be prepared for the running race. The airport is big and confusing. Just follow the boards but not shortcuts.

I was exhausted from a long day. The flight was smooth. The first flight during my 3 week travel that took off on time.

I was exhausted from a long day. The flight was smooth. The first flight during my 3 week travel that took off on time.

Boarded early; and arrived home 40 mins early. After a long flight, it’s nice to be back home early. These flights have no amenities; no snacks. So need to bring your own

As I wrote earlier, poor planning and/or communication. At least twice, we were told that we would be boarding in less than ten minutes, only to have the flight again delayed at least another hour.

Great flight. Boarded efficiently. Arrived early at CLT. There was no in flight entertainment on this aircraft. Great crew.

It was a red-eye, but the flight felt surprisingly quick. The seats were very comfortable, and that made resting much easier. I also want to thank the gentleman seated next to me, who graciously moved so my mom could sit beside me. We slept almost the entire way. The cabin crew was respectful in not disturbing us, while also being courteous and professional throughout. Thank you, United.

They promise free wi-fi prior to boarding and then once on board you are informed you have to purchase wifi even after being a mileagePlus member.

Terrible. No customer service, no food, no drinks on a 6 hour premier economy booking.

left on time, reasonable boarding process arrived early luggage came out quickly

The LH flight was great except for the delay at boarding. It should be announced well in tme.

Compared with other carriers business class for an overnight was not worth the extra expense.

AA changes gates constantly at DFW. I got 5 or 6 gate changes. Fortunately the last few were all in the same terminal. I know DFW so it is not a big deal for me but it is a bit disturbing.

It was OK, but it was delayed about an hour, and my luggage didn't arrive till about an hour and a half after the flight

Crew did a great job, but aircraft was old and bitterly cold. Arrived early in CLT but had to wait for 30 mins for a gate. I knew in the plane what time we were arriving 8 hours before landing and it's basically an American Airlines airport, think they would have had space for an international flight lined up lol

Delayed 4 hours which is out of control the airlines BUT what IS in control is their service. After 4 hours delay, they charged me for a beverage on the flight - completely unacceptable. Then I woke up a $12 beverage coupon AFTER I get home - that I can't use. This was HORRIBLE customer experience. I fly weekly and have a choice and will not choose American again if not credited for this flight and/or awarded miles. This was a poor experience.

Our trip to Spain turned into a stressful ordeal with cockpit issues and FAA air traffic disruptions. Our American Airlines flight from Raleigh to JFK was delayed nearly four hours, causing us to miss our connections to Madrid and Jerez. We were left stranded in New York with children, even running out of diapers while trying to sort everything out. American refused to cover hotels or rental cars, leaving us to arrange and pay for them ourselves. The delays also disrupted our prepaid rental car reservations in Spain. It was a frustrating and expensive start to a family trip we had spent months planning.

I couldn’t get a beverage because my tray table was broken

Flight was delayed significantly at take off and landing. Confusion of gate assignment with back and forth. Overall, makes for a very unpleasant experience that appears to come down to inept operational management.

We had a 1 hour delay due to mechanical issues, then another hour, then 2, and eventually it was an 8 hour delay. The airport staff was confused about gate changes, as they were not getting good communication. They were trying, but we changed gates 5 times in one hour!

Confusion at boarding with my seat (there wasn't one) that I had to have corrected using my status; then because of that had to check bags. And then a very long delay on the tarmac with no air conditioning on a very warm day. It was just a miserable experience all around.

Flight was delayed which isn’t the airline’s fault, but the communication around it was terrible. I left the lounge to show up at the gate to board at the time in my app, and the flight in front of mine was still boarding and the inbound plane hadn’t even taken off yet. Delays were slow to show up in my app. Improved communication could have let me have a more pleasant experience in the lounge vs waiting 1.5 hours at the gate.

Over 3 hours and 25 mins delay, entertainment screen froze on me for more than half the flight

they couldn’t not serve coffee or tea as the water that was boarded was not potable. the veggie food was lousy. tasted very sweet. there was a crying kid a few rows ahead. what about the difficulty caused to other passengers because the kid was crying so much. parents should know their kids better and not travel. it was a very difficult situation. would not recommend this airline next time.

the internet connection was poor. and the change of time

Horrible, they detoured my first flight to Roswell and the communication on why was very poor, We arrive late then waited 20 minutes for them to set up the bridge. I arrived at my connecting flight gate and was told my seat had been given to someone else even though the flight was delayed. We then get to customer service and the computer went down for several hours. The person at the counter was eating their lunch while trying to help me get a flight. Dhe then rebooked on a flight with a connection that was leaving two hours prior to me landing. So I had to then stand in another line to get rebooked. I missed my trip to Morroco and waited 7 days to finally get my luggage. It was a nightmare.

Based upon our entire experience with Iberia, we will never fly the airline nor recommend the airline to anyone. The flight to LA was fine and the crew on this one flight was god, but Iberia treats its customers (us) horribly. There was not one flight on this trip that they did not treat us poorly. We were bumped, lost seats, lost luggage etc all on flights we booked over a year in advance. Not one leg with Iberia went smoothly. And now they have lost our luggage somewhere in Madrid. This is a horrible airline. A truly horrible airline. And Underpricer recommended by Kayak is horrible as well. The lesson learned is to book directly with an airline and stay away from Iberia at all costs.

Very cheap airline, not worth the price. And they almost lost my luggage at JFK during a direct flight. I can't believe I paid that much money for a horrible 'premium economy' flight. Just fly economy on the cheapest end; premium economy is no different. Very very poor.

It was good but I did not appreciate not being able to check in online

Flight was canceled. I had to rebook on different airline

As an advantage member I found the experience very positive

The food was good but basically thrown at you with a don’t bother me attitude. The plane itself was quite dirty.

Too tight connection. Lufthansa staff pulled 12 of us out of passport control that had tight connections and took us about 1/3 mile AWAY from our gates and put us in another slow, long line. Needless to say all of us missed our flights and the Customer “Service” staff was rude and not helpful at all. Was rebooked from a direct flight to one w a 6hr layover. Asked about an other option that was on my app and was told to book it myself online (which would be $300 extra pp!!). Got rebooked again w a tight connection which was also missed. Rebooked into middle seats that didn’t recline for 9 hr flight!! No compensation (and we paid for seats!) Ended up taking 26hrs to get home from Europe to North Carolina! No longer a fan of Lufthansa—2nd time having these kind of issues w them!

flight was half full, plenty of empty seats, was able to lie down across 4 seats, food was good, arrived on time

Excellent service. The crew goes above their way to make the customer comfortable.

If the plain wait for the passenger it should wait for the baggage!!

I enjoyed my flight back with Lufthansa because the food was good, and the flight attendants were nice and helped you when you asked a question. The flight attendants always came around and asked if you needed anything which I liked a lot.

It was great. The airline staff was very friendly. The FRA security was a bit harsh doing their job but friendly overall.

Check-in was very disappointing. My Seat reservation was no longer honored which I had for several months. Supposedly the monitor was damaged and the seat could not be issued. In the lounge I checked again and the seat had been assigned to someone else so I could not sit next to my wife and no other adjacent seats were available - except right in front of the bathrooms and galley. Very disappointing practices for business class!

Delayed flight with no explanations; no jetway boarding so we had to stand on the tarmac in the cold rain. Baggage was lost.

I missed it , and waiting for next flight when writing.

Horrible. My gate did not get updated with our boarding pass. We didn’t receive any communication regarding gate change. Also not enough time was given in between flights. Zero consideration for people who are coming from abroad and have to get through customs and US border patrol

Very good baggage check and boarding pass service at Heathrow. Boarding was well organized, given the number of passengers. Food was very good. Cabin temperature was lower than expected and we were not prepared. Overall good experience.

Good flight, no turbulence. I felt safe and comfortable which is really important when I am just a passenger.

I paid for a very expensive Business Class seat to and from Cairo Egypt from Charleston SC. There was partnership from states to London using American Airlines. That leg was amazing. The British Airlines leg was a joke. They used the standard no leg room 3 by 3 seats. A tray was put on the middle seat. The trip was 5 hours, from London to Cairo, thus my BC purchase. There was no screen proving tv/movie options, only a small device plug. The fold down tray and the bag of peanuts were typical of normal short run flying. The one toilet was located in the galley. We all got to know each other well. This was my first and last trip with British Airlines. I now understand why they would NEVER give me a seat chart so that I could make a selection.prior to departure. It honestly would not have made a difference, there were less than 50% of occupied seats. Apparently everyone got the memo but me. I have never felt so cheated as with that trip, got to so another going back to London, yeah. I will be sending a letter to customer service and asking for a refund. I will be photos comparing the two BC legs. OH, one more thing. The FC ticket holders got bulkhead and exit row seats. I know they had to be thrilled

One of the worst experience given the middle seat even asked for the change no one honored,boarded at the end and overall one of the worst experience

The booking agent, cheapflightsfares, messed up, and the information for the seats we paid extra for was not sent to American Airlines. We were separated on the return flight and sent to the lowest economy section. The flight attendant helped arrange seating at the back of the plane to allow my wife and me to sit together.

All went well on the flight, not happy of course with having to pay for a seat and in hold luggage of £50

The flight attendants serving the food is really bad on this party flight. He is a bald guy and was very rude.

We're waiting an BA flight being operated from London to Raleigh

My flight was cancelled for the second time in the Raleigh to NY route .. Cancelled going from Raleigh to NY and then cancelled again from NY to Raleigh going home. Weather was the stated cause but the weather did not seem overly bad anywhere. They blamed lightning but I lived in Florida and planes constantly took off and landed in lightning conditions. I got the feeling that the flight was under booked and it was simply cancelled... The folks at the gates were nice and helpful (not their fault) but it was extremely frustrating and painful to get around those two cancellations. I missed one whole day of my vacation and had to rent a car going home in order to make it back in time to pick up my pet. The hotel I had to get going and the rental car I needed going home were both not covered by American making my vacation much more expensive. I do not think I will ever use American Airlines again.

My worst flying experience so far. This flight was delayed a total of 42 hours and diverted to New York before it was finally cancelled. It was delayed 4 and a half hours in London. As we were scanning our boarding passes at the gate they advised that the flight was being diverted to JFK since the delays caused us to missed the open hours for Charlotte international customs and immigration. We were assured multiple times by airport personnel, flight attendants, and the Pilot that we would land at JFK go through customs and immigration and then reboard the plane to fly to Charlotte in the same night. When we landed in New York the pilot advised us as we were retrieving our carry on luggage that we were delayed till 10am the next morning and to see guest services to get a room for the night. During this time I had to purchase a room for a family member in Charlotte which drove over 4 and a half hours to pick us up from Charlotte. This could have been avoided if American Airlines had been up front about the delay. Then after standing in line for over 2 and a half hours at guest services we were taken by taxi to a hotel 30 minutes out of the way. Luckily I looked for other flights that night and found one at 8 am to get on. The initial flight which we were scheduled to fly to charlotte in was delayed 12 more times and was finally cancelled 42 hours after it was supposed to land. I am unaware of what happened to the guest that were supposed to fly on the flight after we were placed on another flight but 42 hours in delays for a direct flight is absolutely ridiculous.
