Overview
London Heathrow to Miami — one of the busiest UK-US leisure corridors. Westbound daytime; the direction is forgiving and the duration is manageable.
Jet lag
5-hour westward delay. Daytime arrival into Miami — stay up until ~10pm local, get afternoon light, expect to feel close to normal by day 2.
Build a LHR→MIA adaptation scheduleBest window side
Westbound daytime — the right (north) side avoids direct sun through the long daylit cruise across the Atlantic.
Cabin humidity
BA's 787-9 and Virgin's A350-1000 are the comfort picks here. 777-300ER is workable but dries the cabin faster on a 9-10 hour daytime block.
