Planning a trip to London? One of the first things you’ll likely want to know is how long the flight will be. Well, the travel time depends on your starting point. A flight from New York City will take around seven hours, while a flight from Los Angeles will take about 10 hours and 30 minutes.
How Early Should You Arrive at the Airport?
To avoid any stress and ensure a smooth journey, it’s best to arrive at the airport at least three hours before your flight. This gives you enough time to go through security and make your way to your gate.
