Tips for the best NYC-London experience
1. Fly the A350 or A330neo for the newest cabin products. Older B767s and B777s have less comfortable seats.
2. Take the overnight departure (typically 7-10pm) for maximum sleep time. You arrive in London at 7-10am.
3. Use lounge access wisely. If flying BA, the Galleries Lounge at T7 is modest — consider arriving early at T5 for the Concorde Room experience.
4. Book through BookMyBusinessClass for consolidator fares that are $1,500-$4,000 below retail. Call +1 (866) 699-4488 for today's fare comparison across all airlines.
