Cheap flights London to Rochester, USA

The weeks either side of November are where the fares drop first, before the holiday rush builds. November itself is the cheapest month, with demand thin between the autumn traffic and the December build-up. September and October still carry late-summer prices, while January and February settle into the winter lull. If your dates are flexible, aim inside that November window.

The difference you feel is in what your fare includes. British Airways, Delta Air Lines, KLM, Virgin Atlantic, Swiss, Lufthansa and Brussels Airlines run full-service connections, with checked baggage and meals folded into the ticket. Icelandair, Turkish Airlines and JetBlue also cover the route, and their tickets tend to start from a lower base price. Since no airline flies London to Rochester nonstop, the connection itself is part of the deal, and the airline you choose decides where you change and what the final fare covers.

You land at Monroe County Airport, the airfield that serves Rochester and sits a short ride from the centre. The way into town is by road, with taxis and ride services waiting outside the terminal. Because every flight from London connects somewhere, your arrival time depends on that transfer, so leave room in your schedule for the final leg of the day.
