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

Before you compare the New York to London flight prices, compare what they carry. A fare with hand luggage only can look cheapest and end up dearer once a bag is added. Haqqi Tours arranges the fare that matches your bags: cabin bag only for a short trip, checked bag for a holiday, extra allowance for a long stay. Seat selection, meals and priority boarding are optional extras on many airlines; we tell you which are worth it.

• Infants under two travel on a lap at a reduced fare; children have their own seat and fare
• 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

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

Travelling with children? Put the ages on the form: infants and children have different fares and different baggage allowances, and we apply both. Groups - a company, a school, a wedding party - are booked together so everyone sits in the same section and one confirmation covers the whole party. Haqqi Tours also provides the minivans and Sprinters that carry a group between the airport and the hotel at both ends.

Things to do in London when you land

London is served by more airports than any city in the world: Heathrow (LHR) about 25 km west of the centre, Gatwick (LGW) about 45 km south, Stansted (STN) about 60 km north-east, Luton (LTN) about 55 km north and London City close to Canary Wharf; the West End, the City, Westminster and Kensington form the centre, with Windsor, Oxford and Cambridge within reach by road. Start with Oxford Street and Regent Street, Buckingham Palace and the Changing of the Guard and the Tower of London and Tower Bridge, then the British Museum and Big Ben and Westminster Abbey. A tip from our desk: Tell us which airport and terminal - Heathrow alone has four in use - and the hotel's full postcode; London hotel names repeat across the city and the postcode sends the driver straight to the right street.

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

Best time to fly from New York to London

Flights from New York to London run all year, 10+ a day. London is busy all year, with summer, the Christmas lights and the January sales at the peak; the M4 from Heathrow, the M23 from Gatwick and the M1 from Luton are slowest at weekday rush hours, and a Sunday evening back into town. If you can travel outside those weeks the same seat costs less and the airports are quieter. Whatever the month, early booking is the single biggest saving.

Return flight from London to New York

Coming back? Say so on the form. A return flight ticket from London to New York booked with the outbound is often cheaper than two separate bookings, and it keeps the trip on one WhatsApp thread with one point of contact.

How much is a flight from New York to London?

Flight prices from New York to London follow demand: book early on a quiet day and you pay a fraction of a last-minute fare in high season. The carrier you choose, whether the fare includes baggage, the seat class and the time of the flight all change the total. Rather than quote a number that will be wrong tomorrow, Haqqi Tours checks the fare for the day you want to fly and sends it to you on WhatsApp before you decide.

What the price we send includes: the ticket in the fare class you chose, the taxes and airport charges, the baggage that fare carries, and our service - comparing the airlines, booking, sending the electronic ticket and helping if the flight changes. We tell you clearly if a bag or a seat costs extra on that fare.

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

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

• Book both directions together when a return fare is cheaper than two singles, which we check
• 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
• Consider early-morning and late-evening departures, which often carry the lowest fares
• Let us know if your dates are flexible - moving by a day can change the fare a lot

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

How to book flights from New York to London with Haqqi Tours

The easiest way to book a flight from New York to London is to let a person do it. The form asks for the essentials; the details - a window seat, an infant, extra baggage, a wheelchair, a special meal - you tell us by WhatsApp when we message you to confirm. We provide the ticket in your name, remind you of the check-in rules of that airline and stay reachable while you travel.

• Step 1 - complete the form: date, one-way or return, adults and children, class
• Step 2 - we message you through WhatsApp with the flights, the baggage included and the cost
• Step 3 - you confirm the flight you prefer and we arrange payment in the same chat
• Step 4 - we issue the e-ticket and send it; we stay in touch until you land in London

Haqqi Tours also provides what happens around the flight: a private transfer to the airport in New York, a driver at London Heathrow, Gatwick or Stansted (LHR / LGW / STN) with your name, and tours in London. Mention it in the WhatsApp chat and it goes on the same confirmation.

Airlines flying from New York to London

Haqqi Tours lays the options out plainly: which fare includes a checked bag, which airline flies at the time you want, and which is the better choice for a family or a business trip.

• British Airways - New York to London

• Delta - New York to London

• JetBlue - New York to London

Departure: New York JFK or Newark (JFK / EWR)

Your journey starts at New York JFK or Newark (JFK / EWR). We tell you the terminal for your airline, when check-in and bag drop close, and whether the airport has fast-track security worth booking. The AirTrain from JFK connects to the subway and Long Island Rail Road, and Newark has its own AirTrain to NJ Transit; both mean stairs, changes and crowds with luggage, and LaGuardia has only buses, so a car at the terminal door is the calm choice at any hour.

• Keep the passport or ID used for booking with the e-ticket - names must match exactly
• Check the baggage included in your fare - we tell you before you book
• Haqqi Tours can provide a private transfer from your hotel in New York to New York JFK or Newark
• Just ask about the terminal and fast-track options at New York JFK or Newark

Arrival: London Heathrow, Gatwick or Stansted (LHR / LGW / STN) and getting into London

You arrive at London Heathrow, Gatwick or Stansted (LHR / LGW / STN). The Elizabeth line and Heathrow Express, the Gatwick Express, the Stansted Express and the Luton train are all fast to a central station; from there the Tube with suitcases means stairs, gaps and crowds, and Wembley, Windsor or an Oxford Street hotel each add a change, which is why families and groups book a car from the terminal door. If you would rather not think about it, we book a private transfer from the airport to your accommodation in London, with the driver tracking the flight in case it is late.

Onward flights or trains from London the same day can be added to the booking; let us know and we choose a New York to London departure that leaves a safe connection.
