✈️ Flying from London to New York? Here’s What You Should Know
A nonstop flight from London to New York usually takes around 7–8 hours and covers approximately 5,580 km. However, strong winds, storms, fog, air traffic restrictions, or technical issues can quickly turn a smooth journey into a long and frustrating delay.
If your flight is disrupted:
✅ Ask the airline for written confirmation of the delay and its cause
✅ Keep your boarding pass, booking confirmation, and all receipts
✅ Take screenshots of airport displays and airline notifications
✅ Request meals, refreshments, or accommodation when necessary
✅ Check whether you may be entitled to compensation
Under EU Regulation 261/2004, passengers travelling from London may be entitled to compensation of up to €600 when they reach their final destination more than three hours late, depending on the cause of the disruption.
Bad weather is generally considered an extraordinary circumstance. However, compensation may still be possible when the airline fails to manage the situation properly after conditions improve.
At Click2Refund, we examine flight records, airline communications, and the circumstances surrounding the disruption to determine whether you have a valid claim.
