Los Angeles to break record

Leisure and business travellers looking to fly between London and Los Angeles (LAX) this summer are set to have more opportunities than ever before as weekly flights and seat capacity are both set to eclipse pre-pandemic records thanks to new services from Delta and Norse and increased flights from Aer Lingus, American Airlines, United Airlines and Virgin Atlantic.

On 30 June, Norse will launch their first-ever London to LAX service, the first LGW–LAX flight since pre-pandemic, offering seven flights per week with 2,366 seats.

Delta restarted their LHR–LAX route on 26 March after an eight-year break, showing their confidence in the current market. They now operate a daily non-stop service, offering Delta’s full range of cabin offerings with 1,967 weekly seats available.

Existing carriers are set to increase their number of weekly LAX flights between now and July, with forecasts showing that American Airlines will add nine new weekly flights, Virgin Atlantic adding seven, United Airlines doubling their weekly offering from seven to 14, and Aer Lingus adding two additional weekly flights.

This will take the total number of direct, non-stop weekly flights from the UK and Ireland to LAX in July to 98 with 28,119 seats, compared to 83 flights and 23,963 seats in 2019.  

The large number of flights gives customers a wide range of choice from airlines – Aer Lingus, American Airlines, British Airways, United Airlines, Virgin Atlantic, and now Delta and Norse – giving a selection of departure times and cabin options ranging from Economy to First.
