United Airlines has announced plans to expand their international route network with new daily nonstop service between Boston Logan International Airport and London-Heathrow. The route will be serviced with a Boeing 767-300ER with 46 Polaris Business Class seats.
Today (February 19, 2021), United Airlines announced plans to begin new daily nonstop service between Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) and London-Heathrow (LHR), providing East Coast customers another option when traveling to London. The route will be operated with a Boeing 767-300ER configured with 46 United Polaris Business Class, 22 United Premium Plus and 56 Economy Class seats. The aircraft will feature the highest proportion of premium seats on any U.S. carrier widebody aircraft to London. Tickets on the new route will be available for purchase in the coming weeks.
In Friday’s announcement, United Airlines’ Vice President of International and Network, Patrick Quayle, said,
“We are thrilled to offer travelers a convenient, non-stop option between Boston and London with this addition to our global network. We will continue to monitor the demand recovery and travel restrictions as we finalize the start date for this service later in 2021.”
United Airlines has provided service to London-Heathrow for nearly 30 years and has maintained connectivity between the U.S. and London throughout the pandemic. With the addition of Boston, United will offer 19 daily flights to London-Heathrow.
United’s Polaris Business Class offers a premium travel experience that prioritizes relaxation and comfort with features including custom luxury bedding from Saks Fifth Avenue, restaurant quality multi-course meals, premium amenity kits and full-flat bed seats with direct aisle access.
United Airlines’ shared purpose is ‘Connecting People. Uniting the World.’ Shares in the company’s parent, United Airlines Holdings, Inc., are publicly traded on the NASDAQ under the symbol ‘UAL’.
