Direct flights from the United States leave from New York, Newark, Boston, Chicago, Atlanta and Los Angeles. US visitors can leave from these gateway cities for any number of airports throughout the UK. Americans can also fly to London's Heathrow or Gatwick Airports for frequent connections to other parts of Europe. There are also many choices and reasonable fares, flying through London, usually Heathrow Airport, for connection to other parts of the UK. However, Heathrow is often not an easy airport to get through when changing flights. A carrier who tries to schedule you with only an hour to switch planes will be "cutting it thin". There is also easy connections available through various other international airports such as Manchester and Glasgow, which are smaller, and more pleasant airports.
