When to fly

Shoulder periods surrounding May tend to offer better availability than peak summer months when demand peaks for transatlantic travel. Avoid booking around school holiday windows or major US holidays since prices rise considerably during those high-traffic weeks. Midweek departures often yield lower fares compared to weekend flights on this route.

Airlines and what to expect

All carriers on this route operate connecting services through their respective hubs rather than offering direct flights. Lufthansa routes passengers via Frankfurt, Aer Lingus connects through Dublin, and Icelandair uses Reykjavik as a transfer point. Low-cost options include Easyjet and BA CityFlyer alongside full-service operators like United Airlines and British Airways.
