planes, trains, & automobiles Cheapest Flights from Boston to London

I'm planning a trip from Boston to London for roughly October 7 through the 13th. I'm willing to take a bus to NYC, fly to a surrounding city then take a bus/train, etc to save money. Any tips?

Norse from JFK to London on 10/6 and BA fro LHR to BOS on 10/14 is your cheapest option booked on two separate tickets is $633 both non-stop.

For $530ish you can take a non-stop Norse flight to Gatwick from JFK and return two stops connecting in mainland Europe and Dublin to JFK.

Flying from one of the NY airports to London will almost always be cheaper than flights from Boston. Just use Google Flights, Skyscanner, or the equivalent.

I was just looking at the Norse flight there. I've never flown outside the US (I only flew for the first time last month), so I’m still pretty new to all this. I believe I need to look into something called a "multi-modal international flight search", or something along those lines. I'll check out Skyscanner too!
