Europe flight FAQs
Flights from Los Angeles to London take around 10 hours and 30 minutes, while you can fly from New York to Paris in around seven hours and 30 minutes.
We fly direct to Europe from New York, Los Angeles, Boston, Chicago and lots more big cities, plus you can connect via regional airports across the US with our partner airlines.
While prices can vary depending on the destination, it’s generally cheaper to fly from the US to Europe in spring or autumn. If you’re planning your trip on a budget, you may want to avoid the peak summer months of July and August and the festive season in December.
No matter which time of year you visit Europe, there’s a destination to inspire every kind of visitor. From May to September the Mediterranean coastlines of Spain, France and Italy attract sun-seekers from around the world. Go island-hopping in Greece or Croatia in early summer or early autumn to avoid the hottest, busiest periods.
Spring and autumn are excellent times to visit some of Europe’s most popular cities, such as Madrid, London, Amsterdam or Prague. You can see the sights while avoiding the peak summer crowds.
Visit Europe in winter to ski in the French or Austrian Alps or head to the cities in Scandinavia and northern Europe to spark that festive feeling at traditional Christmas markets.
You’ll find great value for money across Europe, depending on the destination and the time of year you visit. Hotels, dining out and attractions can be pricey in Europe’s big hitters like London, Paris and Rome, but if you venture away from the main tourist streets and shop and dine like a local, you’ll get an authentic experience for less.
It’s best to research your destination before you visit. If you’ll be sightseeing and touring the museums and galleries, some cities offer pre-paid passes and tickets that allow you to visit multiple attractions for one flat fee.
Europe is well connected by plane, train and its comprehensive public transport systems. You can fly from London to many exciting European destinations in just a couple of hours – and you can even take the train from London to Paris and beyond.
You can also hire a car with British Airways if you want to see more of what Europe has to offer. You’ll receive great benefits, with all mandatory charges included and 24-hour customer support, plus you’ll collect Avios points on every rental.
With history at every turn and incredible cultures, countries and languages within just a few hours of each other, there's always something new to discover in Europe. From England’s palaces to Greece’s ancient Roman ruins, history buffs can discover a long list of relics. Foodies are in luck too – you can tuck into tapas in Spain, enjoy arguably the best pizza in the world in Naples or sample the varied flavours of the Mediterranean in Turkey.
You can book a hand baggage-only ticket or make the most of our generous baggage allowance. If you choose economy standard or one of our British Airways Holidays’ packages, each passenger can check in a bag weighing up to 23kg – in addition to a handbag, laptop case or other small bag. Families travelling in any cabin with younger children can also check in one car seat and one fully collapsible pushchair. Read more about baggage allowances for children.
If you’re flying in our business cabin, you can check in two bags weighing up to 32kg each. Read our baggage guide for full details.
Citizens of the US do not need a visa to visit Europe. If you hold a passport from a country or territory outside of the listed areas, you may need to apply for a visa before you travel. You can find out more about visa requirements for all the countries we fly to at the IATA Travel Centre.
Discover outstanding service from the moment you book. Fly with just hand baggage and you can carry two bags free of charge. Choose our checked baggage option and you can travel with hand baggage and a 23kg bag checked into the hold, plus enjoy free seat selection 24 hours before you fly. On board you’ll find HEPA-filtered air, quality on-board catering, and a warm, uniquely British welcome.
Simply relax and let us take care of you, every step of the way.

Europe’s best hidden beaches
Oh we do like to be beside the seaside… unless, of course, it means lying towel to towel with a complete stranger on a packed beach. If you want to sunbathe in peace, escape the bucket-and-spade brigades and head to one of these quiet beaches in Europe. Just don’t tell everyone…
Europe’s most romantic cities
With majestic architecture, old-world grandeur and intimate streets tucked away from the crowds, Europe’s romantic appeal is undeniable. These five charming cities are guaranteed to bring back that loving feeling – and make your friends jealous.
Alpine lakes and mountains
Picture yourself in an Alpine meadow with your feet in glacial meltwater and your face in the sun. The hills aren’t alive with the sound of music. You’ll more likely hear chattering hikers or the soft burr of a freewheeling bicycle. Holiday in the Alps in summer: they’re sublime.
