JFK to LGW questions

Is JFK–LGW running on time right now?

Some delays possible. The arrival side at LGW is the weaker end, route health score 64/100. The airports section above carries the live status and delay window at both ends.

How long is the flight from JFK to LGW?

Great-circle distance is 5,569 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 423–507 min gate-to-gate on this route.

How often does JFK–LGW fly?

Norse Atlantic UK runs the route with about 7 flights a week (daily). Since one carrier owns the route, a single disruption tends to ripple through the day.

What does the route health score measure?

A blend of departure-side delay at JFK and arrival-side delay at LGW, computed from rolling delay windows (refreshed every 40 minutes) with a daily-rollup fallback. Current MVFR, IFR, or LIFR endpoint weather caps the score when flight rules can limit throughput. Higher is healthier: 100 means operations are clean at both ends.
