Los Angeles – London Heathrow (2nd daily service beginning March 28, 2015)

AA 108 LAX1755 – 1225+1LHR operated by a 777
AA 136 LAX1835 – 1315+1LHR operated by a 777

AA 109 LHR1215 – 1540LAX operated by a 777
AA 135 LHR1400 – 1730LAX operated by a 777

This is a highly profitable route for American, and upgrade space is slim on the current 1 daily flight. Along with their join venture with British Airways, Los Angeles will now feature 4 daily roundtrips to London (oneworld).

Last operated in 1997, this route comes after Air Berlin will drop their Miami to Berlin route. It is likely that American will operate this route, vs. operating a similar route from Charlotte or Philadelphia.
