Which Airline Should I Pick For My Next London-New York Flight?
30,728
Published 2024-05-06
Airlines with jets big and small in both the US and UK are heavily active with their services between the two metropolises. There are currently seven carriers operating direct services between London and New York, including two relative newcomers to the scene in the form of JetBlue and Norse Atlantic Airways. So which carrier should you fly with?

Glad to hear that the "regular voice" is back
-
As someone who does this route a lot, JetBlue is the silent champion, way better than any other airline
-
Interesting and insightful coverage, thanks. These city pairs remain fascinating to me, in terms of connectivity and the sheer amount of traffic between them. I think JetBlue’s playing more so in the big carriers (vs ‘low-cost’) sandbox.. its fares alone (and of course differentiated service) reflect this.
-
One thing that never seems to be discussed, and a reason I won’t use Jet Blue is the cruising speeds of the narrow bodies vs wide bodies. A Jet Blue A321 will take about 7hours 30 minutes flight time from LHR - JFK, whereas on a 777 or A350 it’s about 7 hours. Quite a big difference.

It's been 18 years since I flew nonstop from London to New York, and that was on a Virgin Atlantic 747-400. It was amazing!
-
Actual United polaris is a fantastic product…but check the layout for any United business flight…not too long ago i found you could be on a united business class flight that was 8 abreast in a 777. Or for a couple bucks more (based on my company agreements) be on the upper deck of a 747-8, 4 across in your own little world. Easy choice.

Nice video if I want to fly in this route I will prefer Delta or Virgin Atlantic
-
Virgin for me as I have flown them many times and the experience was good.
-
British Airways used to do an Airbus A319 flight from Heathrow to New York via Shannon. It was an all premium layout and took over the old Concorde flight number. It stopped in Shannon on the way from Heathrow for fuel and give pre clearance to US passengers. I know this because it was featured in a review video by a guy who reviewed flights and airlines on YouTube. A number of years ago.

Doing lax to lhr next week on United Polaris… always a great choice.
-
Ive always been iffy with Norse so I believe I would go with JetBlue
-
i would like to choose virgin atlantic or jetblue because their airliners like a330 neo, a350-1000 or a321 LR are newest and among the most modern widebodies and narrowbodies, along with their entertainment i think it's a great choice
-
Not all of these economy seats are created equal. For instance the Virgin flights have a bit more seat recline which dramatically reduces leg room if the person in front of you puts their seat back. If you're flying with a partner in economy Delta is the way to go because you can get a window and aisle seat together on the 767 and A330.
-
It blows my mind to see all the travel that goes on between the USA and Europe. These are just the flights from NYC to London. Then we've got about 20 other US cites that go to multiple European destinations every single day. It's truly mind-boggling.
-
I'm a big fan of British Airways. I cannot recall any instance of poor service in over 40 segments. I'd love to see Simple Flying do a similar (but shorter) dive into London - Chicago. In terms of onward connections, Chicago is an excellently placed middle-of-America hub.
-
Kinda surprised there’s no A380s, no 747s, and no fifth freedom services.
-
With a flight duration that allows for a nap as opposed to a night of restful sleep, premium cabins seem superfluous for the price. Extra legroom economy is the best value.
-
The more widebody choices ... The Better !!!!
-
I have flown LHR to JFK with AA, BA, & jetBlue. I have to say pound for pound jetBlue was the best experience.
-
always good video
