Baggage, seats and classes on the London to New York flight

Baggage is the item that most frequently changes the real cost of a flight from London to New York. Full-service fares typically include a checked bag and a cabin bag; low-cost fares start with a small cabin bag and add the rest. We tell you the allowance of the fare we send, and whether adding a suitcase at booking is cheaper than at the airport (it almost always is). Seats can be selected on most airlines for a fee or free at check-in; in economy and business the differences are space, meals and flexibility.

• Meals included on full-service airlines; special meals ordered in advance on request
• Business class: bigger seat, meal, lounge, priority boarding - we send the cost beside economy
• Cabin bag on every fare; checked bag included on full-service fares, optional on low-cost ones
• Adding baggage at booking is cheaper than at the airport - we add it for you

Flying with children, families and groups from London to New York

Three things to know about the flight from London to New York with children: infants under two fly on a lap, children get their own seat and generally a lower fare, and a folding pushchair goes free. Groups get seats together and, on many airlines, a group rate. Tell us the numbers and we handle the rest, including the transfer with enough room for everyone.

Things to do in New York when you land

New York City is served by three airports: John F. Kennedy (JFK) in Queens about 25 km from Midtown Manhattan, LaGuardia (LGA) about 15 km away, and Newark (EWR) across the Hudson in New Jersey about 25 km from Midtown, with the bridges, tunnels and expressways between them among the busiest roads in America. Start with a Broadway show, the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island and Central Park, then the Empire State Building and Top of the Rock and Times Square. A tip from our desk: Let us know which of the three airports and which terminal - JFK alone has six - and the hotel's full street address, since Manhattan hotel names repeat across the city.

If you want the days in New York organised - a driver, a guide, timed entry tickets - we do that too. Mention it on WhatsApp.

Best time to fly from London to New York

Spring and autumn are the pleasant seasons, summer is hot and humid, and winter cold with occasional snow; the Van Wyck Expressway from JFK and the tunnels into Manhattan are slowest on weekday evenings. On the flight from London to New York, seasons show in fares more than in schedules: holiday departures fill first, so we recommend booking early for summer, Christmas, New Year, Eid and Easter journeys.

Return flight from New York to London

The New York to London flight is the same route in reverse, about 8 hours. Haqqi Tours provides the return ticket in the same conversation; if you are not yet sure of the return date, we can book a flexible outbound or wait, and explain which is cheaper.

How much is a flight from London to New York?

"How much is the London to New York flight?" is the question we get most, and the honest answer is that it moves every day. Low fares open months ahead and disappear as seats sell; peak seasons, school holidays and the most convenient departure times cost more; a fare with a checked bag and a flexible ticket cost more than a hand-luggage-only seat. Haqqi Tours can provide the current cost for your date quickly of receiving the form - the actual fare, not an estimate.

Just ask for two or three options and we send the cost of each - for example the cheapest fare with hand luggage only, the same flight with a checked bag, and the best-timed departure of the day - so the comparison is in front of you before you book.

Cheapest flight from London to New York: how to pay less

Finding cheap flights from London to New York is timing plus flexibility. Here is how Haqqi Tours finds the lowest fare on the route:

• Pack to the fare: a hand-luggage-only ticket is cheaper if you do not need a checked bag
• Compare airlines - on this route the cheapest carrier changes from day to day
• Book both directions together when a return fare is cheaper than two singles, which we verify
• Ask about infant and child fares and about group bookings for four or more
• Book early - low fare tiers open months ahead and sell first, especially for holidays
• Fly mid-week - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday departures are normally cheaper than Friday, Sunday and Monday

When you complete the form, mention if you can move your dates. We scan the fares around them and send the cheapest London to New York flight first, then the alternatives.
