Are there direct flights from London City Airport to New York?
Yes, there are direct flights from London City Airport (LCY) to New York, but with a unique twist.
British Airways operates an exclusive business class only service, known as BA1, between London City Airport (LCY) and New York John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK). However, this flight includes a short stop in Shannon, Ireland, for refuelling and U.S. pre-clearance before continuing to New York. The stop allows passengers to clear U.S. immigration in Shannon, meaning they can arrive in New York as domestic travellers, skipping long immigration queues.
If you’re looking for a completely non-stop flight, you’ll need to depart from London Heathrow (LHR) or Gatwick (LGW) instead, as there are no fully non-stop flights from London City Airport to New York at the moment.
