I can only speak on the Westchester to Luton flight, it was rather pleasant. As far as if it is worth it, for myself, the answer is yes if it's half full, no otherwise. There were four of us on board and I was able to stretch out and the FA had gotten a request ahead of time to make up beds for two of the passengers on board. Clearing customs at Luton was nothing at all; a woman boarded the flight, asked for my passport, then said ok have a good night! I called an UberX and an hour and £42.86 later I was at my hotel, Grosvenor House in Mayfair. Ahead of the flight I had to send a scanned copy of my passport and a Remote Clearance Form from UK Border Force. I suspect there is a similar setup entering the US. Flight time to London was around 6 hours.
