Business Class Flights to London

Fares, airlines & the best time to book, LHR, LGW

The busiest premium market on earth, with more lie-flat choice to LHR than anywhere.

London Heathrow (LHR) anchors the most competitive long-haul premium market in the world. British Airways and American fly it as one transatlantic joint venture, Virgin Atlantic and Delta as another, with United and JetBlue on top; New York alone sees a dozen-plus lie-flat departures a day.

Gatwick (LGW) carries a smaller, mostly leisure long-haul slate worth checking when Heathrow spikes. All that competition means London business fares regularly dip on sale; Biirdee sources private fares below the retail ranges listed here.
