United Airlines will recommence nonstop services between Boston Logan International and London Heathrow in the coming weeks.
This will make United the only U.S. carrier to offer nonstop service between the nation’s top seven business markets and London Heathrow. The new service builds upon United’s growing presence in London and provides customers on the East Coast with another convenient option to get to London.
United plans to operate its premium Boeing 767-300ER aircraft on the route, with 46 United Polaris Business Class and 22 United Premium Plus seats. The aircraft features the highest proportion of premium seats on any widebody aircraft operated by a U.S. carrier between London and the United States.
“We are thrilled to offer travellers a convenient, non-stop option between Boston and London with this addition to our global network,” says Patrick Quayle, United’s vice president of International Network and Alliances. “We will continue to monitor the demand recovery and travel restrictions as we finalize a start date for this service later in 2021.” The service departs Boston daily at 10 pm and arrives in London at 9.35 am the next morning. The return service departs the British capital at 5 pm and arrives in Boston at 7.30 pm. Tickets for the new service will be available for purchase on united.com and the United app in the coming weeks.
United has provided service to London Heathrow for nearly 30 years and over the course of the pandemic has maintained continuous service between the U.S. and London. Looking ahead, Boston will be United’s 19th daily flight between the United States and London Heathrow.
United’s Polaris product is a premium travel experience that prioritizes relaxation and comfort with features that include everything from custom, luxury bedding from Saks Fifth Avenue and restaurant-quality, multi-course inflight dining to premium amenity kits and fully flat-bed seats with direct aisle access. Along with its 46 Polaris Business Class seats, the aircraft also features 22 United Premium Plus seats, 43 United Economy Plus seats and 56 United Economy seats.
