London to New York as we all know is one heck of a trafficked route with nearly every man and his dog trying to fly back and forth there profitably.
Image – Great Circle Mapper
Looking to the map and actual airports, here’s a map of the routes – for once, I’m excluding anything that requires a connection
The list:
London Heathrow – New York John F. Kennedy International Airport
- American Airlines
- British Airways
- Delta Airlines
- Kuwait Airways
- Virgin Atlantic
London City Airport – New York John F. Kennedy International Airport
- British Airways
London Heathrow – Newark International (We’ll call it New York Area for sake of argument)
- British Airways
- United Airlines (Ex Continental Routes)
- Virgin Atlantic
And as we all know, New York La Guardia is out of the question due to perimeter rules and other silly things. London Gatwick (surprisingly) no longer has a link to New York when I did this research today.
But there are so many ways to cut it carriers to choose with all alliances represented. But which way am I going on my next trip?
That my dear readers is to remain my little secret – for the moment π
However, in August, please join me for “Creating an Image: Back to New York with …”. Nope – still not letting on π
But it’s an excuse for a Poll….

Kevin should go off the board and fly LHR->JFK on Icelandair via KEF π
HR says
Fly to either CPH or ARN and then to EWR on SAS!
Tom says
My bet is BA LHR-JFK in order to try out his new BA gold card
Kevincm says
Good guesses so far.
I’m still keeping stum. For a few weeks at least π
Weean says
I really hope it’s Kuwait, but my vote went to the Babybus, now you’re a GCH.
Xander says
New idea: go via BRU to try out SN’s new C/Y product on their A333
I voted for swimming/rowing though π

And I love you too Xander. :p
