JFK - LHR

The flight is clean, food good and the staff are excellent! Very professional, polite and accommodating. The seat itself is really mediocre. Can’t believe there is not inch of storage space. Believe it or not it there is not place even to put away your phone or pen!! Very very surprising and terribly inconvenient. No coat hanger hook either. Had to give it away. ALL IN ALL VERY INCONVENIENT business class seat compared to their peers. What is even more surprising is that this on their relatively new fleet of Airbus A350-1000. I was having com platelets different expectations of Virgin and this has disappointed me. Everything else is just as good and as you would expect from Virgin!

  • What airports serve Heathrow to India flights?

    If you’re catching a flight to India from Heathrow you’ll depart from the UK’s busiest airport, London Heathrow Airport (LHR). It’s about 16 miles from the centre of London, and is roughly a 35-min drive along the M4 and then the A4. The fastest way to get there, however, is to take the Heathrow Express train, which leaves from London’s Paddington Station. You’ll land at one of three main airports in India, with most flights landing at Indira Gandhi International in New Delhi (DEL). This is India’s principal international airport, and consequently it’s busiest. Other main destinations on the route are Mumbai Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (BOM), and Chennai International Airport (MAA).

  • Which airlines fly directly from Heathrow to India?

    Most of the routes between Heathrow and India require at least one step over en route, with many requiring two or more. However you will be able to find a few direct flights, all of which are operated by Air India, landing at New Delhi Indira Gandhi. These are obviously the quickest flights, and will only take you about 9h, compared to up to 25h for a two-stop flight. A couple of them will only have you travelling for 8h, so these are well-worth booking through Cheapflights. You’ll also be pleased to know that these faster, direct flights can often even offer better value for money than the longer, indirect ones.

Another optional route is flown by Japan Airlines, stopping over at Tokyo Haneda Airport (HND), before flying to New Delhi. You can also catch a Gulf Air flight, which will stop over at Manama Bahrain International (BAH). The most common two-stop route available will see you departing London Heathrow Airport on Lufthansa, landing at Frankfurt am Main Airport (FRA) and flying on to Mumbai Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International for a change to IndiGo for the last leg to Chennai International.
