Find out how many miles you need to travel to New York

Overview

Flying from London to New York will cost you a minimum of 25,000 in economy, assuming that you fly on an off-peak day.

Want to upgrade to premium economy? You can do that for an extra 17,500 Avios. Premium economy pricing will cost you a minimum of 42,500

Club World (Business Class) will require either 80,000 (off peak) or 90,000 (peak) Avios.

First Class seats will cost you between 80,000 (off peak) and 90,000 (peak) Avios. One thing to note is that First Class tickets are the only ticket type with BA that allows you to select your seats for free.

London to New York is one of those routes that has a valuable oddity. Flying in first requires less Avios than flying in Business. The challenge is finding availability in the First cabin, but if you can then you'll have an elevated experience plus free seat selection.

How to make your Avios go further

If you're based in the UK then there's a way to make your Avios go even further, and that's through a Companion Voucher. I've written extensively about these amazing vouchers. They're not free, but they're absolutely worth it. Read my guide on is a BA companion voucher worth it?

How can you search for reward seat availability?

BA offers a number of ways to search for reward seats: their "Reward Flight Finder", their in-app "Reward Flights" section and just making a dummy booking. There are also third party tools that you can use, although I've managed to find plenty of seats without having to pay for a platform. I wrote about the best (and worst) ways to search for Avios availability. If you're looking to book seats to a popular destination then planning ahead is critical: seats become available 355 days before the flight date.
