Insights shared by verified travelers who flew to Heathrow 
JKFlew with American Airlines-Sep 2026
Ask ahead of time, if the aircraft can provide AC and/or oxygen to passengers after boarding.
Verified travelerFlew with British Airways-Mar 2026
Take early morning flights to adjust to weather-related delays.
PamFlew with American Airlines-Mar 2026
Book premium economy. The extra comfort is worth it.
MichaelFlew with Delta-May 2026
We like Delta, Alaska and American. Be prepared for a bit of a trek from your arrival gate to Customs and outside services. Heathrow doesn't rank high on my list of major airports.
Verified travelerFlew with American Airlines-Apr 2026
Heathrow is too gigantic to have less than 2 hours of layover time.
TaniaFlew with British Airways-Apr 2026
Heathrow airport has become one of the worst airports. Way too massive, like Amsterdam's, way too much walking & navigating. Better have 3 hours for connections and prepare to walk for HALF OF THAT time. LHR was 1 of the best airports 60 yrs ago. Don't expect it to stay same but now its a nightmare. For older folks I suggest using a less massive airport in UK and for American Airlines to do same.
DarleneFlew with British Airways-Mar 2026
Plan on a crazy, crowded experience in terminal 3! Find a resturarant to camp in to remove yourself from the pandamonium
Verified travelerFlew with British Airways-Dec 2025
Jst take one cashing bag no checked luggage-so much easier
MarilynFlew with British Airways-Feb 2026
Meeting a friend at Heathrow was difficult as there are many terminals so far apart. Access to the train was great and an easy way to get to the downtown area.
Verified travelerFlew with Iberia-Jan 2026
Buy your flight directly from the airline because the cancellation process is purgatory
Verified travelerFlew with British Airways-Nov 2025
Sit at the back near the toilets and the food service, you’ll get served quicker lol x
GeraldFlew with Virgin Atlantic-Jun 2025
Virgin Atlantic uses terminal 3. Much faster clearing customs than terminal 5
Verified travelerFlew with American Airlines-Jun 2025
Make sure you do not need the transit visa.
Verified travelerFlew with British Airways-Jun 2025
Get a wheel chair if you have difficulty walking
Verified travelerFlew with British Airways-Jun 2025
Pay for your bags at time of arrival and not through a third party site, they will rip you off!
Verified travelerFlew with British Airways-May 2025
Heathrow has good signage. There are lots of people going to the same terminal waiting for the train. Be patient and when you have connecting flights choose a 2-hour layover.
LisaFlew with British Airways-May 2025
Make sure you have enough time in London if you have a transfer flight. I would recommend at least 2 hours.
Verified travelerFlew with British Airways-Apr 2025
Be ready for checking luggage and going through security. We did and sailed right through.
Verified travelerFlew with Iberia-May 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.
RadicalFlew with American Airlines-May 2025
Don’t put everything in your gate check bags. Make sure you have clothes in your carry on
Verified travelerFlew with British Airways-Apr 2025
Make sure you have plenty of time between flights if you are delayed.
Verified travelerFlew with Iberia-May 2025
Take a pillow you can sleep on and rest.
JamesFlew with American Airlines-Apr 2025
Try to avoid Heathrow! Not the most convenient to get into London unless you have a driver. Also, Heathrow needs better signs on where to go to exit and better wifi for foreign travelers.
TressaFlew with Lufthansa-Dec 2024
Make your layover longer because you will need it for all the walking at Heathrow
Verified travelerFlew with British Airways-Feb 2025
Don’t take a flight if you sick, or if you have no choice prepare to stay covered with mask throughout the flight
DinaFlew with United Airlines-Jan 2025
Anticipate delays, prepare for long walks through Heathrow to baggage claim or for connections.
Verified travelerFlew with British Airways-Oct 2024
Eat well before boarding if you’re a picky eater.
TapanFlew with British Airways-Oct 2024
Great baggage policy in BA.. The worst part was experience at London Heathrow airport. Security was slow, too many people. Almost lost connecting flight even with 2 hours layover.
EllenFlew with British Airways-Oct 2024
Do not check your bag if at all possible, especially if you have a connecting flight. Your bag will not make it.
RachelFlew with American Airlines-Nov 2024
London Heathrow is absolutely disorganized. You need 2 hours between flights at a minimum.
HashemFlew with United Airlines-Jul 2024
I don’t think any airline has the best boarding. Maybe American Airlines has the most comfortable and up-to-date airplanes. Always go super early to any airport leave an apple AirTag in your bag always ask Agent if your chair and or seat will be properly working
CraigFlew with United Airlines-Jun 2024
Get to beginning of boarding group early. Bring as little on board as possible due to small overhead bin space.
Verified travelerFlew with British Airways-Mar 2024
Be prepared to not have WiFi. The plane itself was a nice comfortable plane. The service from the crew is excellent. I always bring my own headset during a flight, so I would suggest doing that.
JordanFlew with British Airways-May 2024
Connections can take some time to figure out at LHR. They often don’t assign connecting gate till just before boarding. So be ready for that.
Verified travelerFlew with British Airways-Mar 2024
Pack your own food if you have dietary restrictions and fly other airlines if possible
MichelleFlew with British Airways-May 2024
Make sure you separate your luggage tags from your tickets

Bring a sack lunch -- airport food was very expensive.

Be early and pay attention to gate changes.
KariFlew with British Airways-May 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
leaniepenneFlew with British Airways-Jan 2024
Dress appropriate for the season and be comfortable, arrive early for checking in case there are unexpected changes or delays.
AaronFlew with American Airlines-Dec 2023
Find a flight where you are allowed to choose your seats before the day of boarding for anything international.
Verified travelerFlew with British Airways-Jan 2024
Leave plenty of time if connecting in London as most connecting flights are in a different terminal which requires a bus or tram ride. Also if you’re not at the gate 30 minutes ahead they will not let you on the plane. Apparently this is a Heathrow not airline rule.
ShaunaFlew with British Airways-Dec 2023
I would suggest calling the airline to make sure that their TV screens work on the back of the seats, and if they don’t work that the entertainment option would work on your cell phones.
CurtFlew with American Airlines-Dec 2023
If you are connecting especially in bad weather pack spare clothes / travel sized toiletries in your carry-on.

The crew were efficient. The pilots seemed professional. It was a bit chilly in our seats. The sheet provided weren’t very helpful.

The Boarding process was great. Particularly since my wife and I require assistance. The flight attendants were amazing. We travel frequently; they honestly were a cut above. 😀

Plenty of leg room, temperature was great and staff was excellent. Would do it more often.

Passengers need to check in big baggage instead of bringing on the plane. That cause inconvenience for everyone. Otherwise flight was good.

Great. Very smooth. Plenty of information. However, wish they would give out a menu in advance of making a dinner choice like other international airlines. The flight attendant says chicken or pasta and there are details about ingredients or spices requiring the passenger to ask which requires the flight attendant to answer many times. So easy to solve this problem. P

All fine save for the abominable catering. Really gone downhill. We found it all inedible.

Late flight caused a missed connection, had to be put on a later international flight without my requested vegan meal.

Half the bathrooms assigned to economy were out of action

The crew members were great. The food was good. Entertainment was average - Could use a wider and better selections of movies and series.

Flight was cancelled after 3 1/2 hours. Support for rebooking was overwhelmed. Lost first class tickets and to fly economy.

Food was very bad Crew was not so welcoming. Chairs was so uncomfortable

This flight has a history of leaving late, however, I was pleasantly surprised that it was not delayed this day. The flight went smooth, except I was in a window seat and the wall and my feet were freezing. I found it difficult to sleep due to being so cold, I also was using 2 provided UAL blankets and could not get my feet warm. This was annoying, but I still made it there on time and safe.

I was very disappointed with my experience at the United Airlines baggage check. The representative was rude and unhelpful. I was required to remove approximately 1.5 pounds from my two checked bags, even though it was a very small amount over the limit. The interaction was unnecessarily unpleasant, and I expected much better customer service. I hope United will review this incident and provide additional customer service training to its staff.

Cree was organized and pleasant. Plane had good seating but as it’s a shuttle toilets hadn’t been thoroughly cleaned (eg. bins too full)

Some flight attendants were great others were cranky. Seats were very tight and sitting on an aisle was very hard as the carts and people walking constantly bumped shoulder and arm.

Although the flight was delayed the crew and the flight itself were very good. Couldn't fault anything and after the disappointment of being abandoned in the US by BA it was a welcome relief to travel with United

Liked fold flat bed. Didn’t like having no window. Didn’t like poor choice of food and being served dinner very late, hours after take off of a 7:40pm flight. Servers not friendly. Food horrible in business class.

The flight was heavily booked so boarding was a lengthy process. The FA’s were rather abrupt during this process but became more gracious as the flight went on. Breakfast (puffed pastry and chewy sausage) was pretty horrible but there was fruit and yogurt which they didn’t mess up. Overall it was fine.

Fight was delayed an hour due to operational issues ,then further delayed due to ground control for a total of about 1.30 hours. Salad was completely frozen and flatware was so cold you could barely handle it. Crew was friendly and professional and the flight was smooth. The aircraft was clean and well-serviced.

Waited for our plane from HNL so we didn't miss connection. AMAZING Service for that, then really clean plane. Nice airline attendants.

Selection of movies didn't include recent box office hits. Food was average not great. English sparkling wine is not drinkable. Otherwise, everything was great.

Great staff great experience, made a 2 hour delay very bearable

I was my pleasure to fly virgin on my birthday for my first solo trip ever 🫶🏼

Overall, flight was excellent but check in was very slow for Premium Economy. Economy queue was shorter but we weren't allowed to use it.

Good overall. Cannot fault the airlines. I have had better entertainment systems before ie ice in Emirates but it was not too bad. Food was decent and staff were friendly.

Miami airport needs more thorough signage. It was a long walk from my transport point to the check in desk,

Flight took off an hour late. Had to stay on the tarmac for half an hour after landing. Both annoying.

The crew was very good. However, the equipment was a bit dated. Some of the electronics were not working. To top it, three bags didn’t arrive with me. Two of them were delivered a day later. I’m still waiting for the third bag, I was so looking forward to this virgin Atlantic flight, but, I am disappointed.

My only complaint is that the pocket in front of me was ripped and my things, like iPad and airline magazines, kept slipping to the floor.

Flight delayed yet again. Crew apathetic and unhelpful re affect on connecting flight.

Flight delayed 6 hours. Would mean I would miss My connections to Glasgow and my reason for going back. AA staff were completely useless in figuring out how to re ok me. My wife 200 miles away was on kayak offering suggestions. Also NO alerts from AA by phone or text about this delay. Just a $12 voucher for compensation. I ended up on BA

Staff in first class seemed to struggle to provide service to both sections. I didn’t get breakfast though I requested it. I only got coffee after asking the opposite side flight attendant and then could never see them to request a bottle of water.

Seats were the worst i ever experienced — narrow, hard, no leg room and a long flight

After boarding, the AC was shut off on the flight. At business class, I really could not breathe. I was absolutely dripping sweat. I was told by the FA that there was nothing they could do but I could stand by the door until departure. So, that's what I did. I was clearly in the way while the FAs were trying to do their work, but I had to be able to breathe. After that, of course, I had sweated up a lot so was very uncomfortable for the six hour flight.

British Airways canceled our original flight and rebooked us on Air Canada one day later. As a result, we lost one day of our Geneva trip and incurred financial losses for a prepaid hotel night and a day trip that we were unable to use.

Comfort in premium economy is worth it for long hauls especially on the 787-9P Dreamliner with the modern updates. The food was okay. All 4 of us selected the same meal, 2 of us had very dry hard to cut chicken, the other 2 were tender and good. The sides/salad/dessert all very good as far as airline food goes. Crew were very attentive. Will be hard to ever go back to regular economy!

Crew was great! Food sub-bar, tepid & flavorless. No snack options on trans-atlantic flight. Premium Economy seats ok, leg rest wouldn’t stay in place.

Entertainment system did not function. USB ports did not function. Wi-Fi did not function. Terrible trifecta…

Luggage did not make it onto my plane. Business seats were economy with empty row seat. Just horrible experience. Why would the company allow for transfers that don’t give employees enough time to transfer luggages??

For an long range economy flight I feel more space and more meal options need to be offered for flights over 5 hours

I chose seating based on me being 6’3 and they changed planes I guess bc I got 2 random Seats that were middle and window and vert cramped and uncomfortable for a long flight….should have been able to get same seating just different aisle maybe especially since we picked them and weren’t random

Liked that our agent at check in changed our seats to allow us to have more space.

Boarding was seamless, crew were great. Less disruptions on the night flight would have improved the experience and turning off lights earlier.

My bags were lost. I waited in a line for 5 hours after I landed and got no resolution to the issue.

Easily one of the best flights I’ve ever taken. Worth it to upgrade slightly. Crew was phenomenal. Just wish the man sat next to me kept his shoes on. There should be a rule about that. But I wish I could take every flight with BA.

A/C temp. was way too cold during the flight.

Flight was extremely delayed and they didn’t feed us for a 4 hour delay

Boarding from the SFO lounge is a big improvement. Although the first class dining room inside the lounge is becoming very crowded.

we originally had premium economy seats when we booked, but because we were forced to re-book because the first leg of our journey was delayed for several hours, we had to fly economy. Less room, less comfortable.

Flight was fine. We were in business class, so lie-flat seats were appreciated. Kids were in premium and said it was nice. Flight was delayed by 3 hours, so we missed everything we had planned in London the first day.
