aa ba shuttle service LHR JFK

American Airlines and British Airways operate transatlantic shuttle service between London Heathrow and New York JFK.

The new schedule will offer hourly departures between 08:00 and 10:00 and in the evening, flights depart every half hour from 18:30 to 23:00. All of the flights will operate between New York JFK and London Heathrow with the exception of two BA A318 airplane to London City. British Airways will also continue to operate to Newark despite the fact that as a Star hub, there are few feeder services.
The joint route have 11 roundtrips per day. Seven of the flights will be operated by BA, four by AA. American is reducing its own service from five to four daily. In addition to the 11 JFK-LHR flights, there are two daily JFK-LCY and three daily EWR-LHR flights.
Also as part of the new cooperation, Iberia is adding service from Madrid to Los Angeles and from Barcelona to Miami, further enriching the oneworld offer. And American is strengthening the alliance by adding Chicago-Helsinki and JFK-Budapest in support of Finnair and Malev’s hubs.
In Chicago a similar, though reduced, schedule will also be implemented. Again, the carriers have established regular departures on the hour, creating a schedule that is easily remembered by frequent travellers, with plenty of options if plans change.
Members of ba frequent flyer schemes can now earn and redeem miles on eligible routes, and also have the ability to mix and match outbound and return fares from the carriers. For the first time BA and AA will also open their Arrivals lounges at Heathrow T3 and T5 to all Oneworld Emerald status cardholders landing on either airline’s flights.
