BA expands North America schedule
British Airways will operate a record number of flights between North America and London for Summer 2025, offering more than 400 direct flights per week during its busiest weeks.
The airline operates from 26 US cities non-stop to London, and its increased summer schedule includes the following additions to London Heathrow (LHR) per week:
- Miami, Florida (MIA): An additional seven flights per week, bringing the total to 14 flights per week and becoming a twice-daily service year-round. The airline will also be opening a brand-new lounge in Miami in 2025, featuring its new lounge design concept
Austin, Texas (AUS): An extra six flights per week, bringing the total to 13 services per week
Las Vegas, Nevada (LAS): An extra three flights per week during peak months, bringing the weekly total to 10
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (PIT): The popular route will increase from six to seven flights per week, becoming a daily service for the first time since the route was introduced
Washington DC (IAD): An increase of 7 flights per week, bringing the total to 21 flights per week
Vancouver (YVR): An increase of up to 7 flights per week to London Heathrow, bringing the total to 14 flights per week during peak summer. Coupled with the airline’s daily flight to London Gatwick, customers in Vancouver can choose from three flights per day to London from June to September
Neil Chernoff, British Airways’ Chief Planning and Strategy Officer, commented on the upcoming changes: “We continue to grow our network and these additional services across the US reflect the growing demand for travel to and from London. We are committed to providing our customers with greater choice and convenience, and we are excited to offer more opportunities for them to experience our world-class service.”
In the last decade, British Airways has launched six new routes from cities across the US including Austin in 2014, New Orleans in 2016, Nashville in 2018, Pittsburgh in 2019, Portland, Oregon, in 2022, and most recently Cincinnati in 2023.
