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.
50 origin airports with nonstop service to London
London is served by 2 airports: LHR, LGW
Biirdee's negotiated fares typically land 30–70% below published business class prices

| Route | Typical published fare | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| From the U.S. East Coast | $3,500–$7,000 round trip | Fierce New York competition; sub-$3,000 sales appear a few times a year (as of August 2026). |
| From the U.S. West Coast | $4,500–$9,000 round trip | 10–11 hours nonstop on BA, Virgin and the US carriers. |
| From Asia | $4,000–$8,500 round trip | Nonstops from Singapore and Hong Kong on SQ, BA and Cathay. |
Transatlantic premium demand peaks June through August and again around Christmas; January through March is the softest window and when the best sales run. Book two to four months out for summer; closer in works off-peak.

Virgin Atlantic's Upper Class and BA's Club Suite lead from the US, with Delta One and Polaris close behind. On many dates the real decider is price and schedule.
About 6.5–7 hours eastbound with the jet stream, and 7.5–8 hours on the way back.
Heathrow has nearly all the long-haul frequency and the flagship lounges; Gatwick is worth taking when it prices well.
January through March, plus November outside Thanksgiving week. Summer and Christmas are the peaks.
