Q I have been to New York lots of times on British Airways/Virgin Atlantic/Norwegian, and think it’s time I went for a more adventurous and exotic itinerary. What would you recommend?

A London-New York is the world’s densest intercontinental air route, and with so many nonstop flights available you can select a time to suit you almost to the minute. But indirect trips have the benefit of generally lower fares and, often, a free stopover. So they are well worth seeking out.
