“Best” depends on whether you care about a nonstop, a lie-flat seat, or the lowest total after bags. British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, American, Delta, United, JetBlue and several European one-stops all serve London from the U.S. Search your city pair and compare the offers side by side.
Airports
Heathrow (LHR) is the default. Gatwick (LGW) is common on leisure and some transatlantic flights. City (LCY) is niche. A cheaper LGW fare can lose if your hotel is in west London and you need the Heathrow Express.
Cabin
Premium economy on a nonstop often beats a cheap economy connection that lands at 6 a.m. with no bag. Search Business as well if the meeting cannot slip.
How we compare
FaresMatch lists live supplier prices with change and refund rules attached. We are not any of those airlines.
