The US airlines are mapping out their offerings for summer 2025. United Airlines just released an impressive list of new destinations. Delta also has some nice adds and frequency changes. And, American Airlines is flying to five new European destinations next summer. With all of these additions, there are also some cuts. London Heathrow Airport (LHR) will see reductions from all three carriers next summer.
American Airlines
Both Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD) and Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) will each see one less daily flight to/from London Heathrow Airport (LHR). United and British Airways offer multiple daily flights from both of these airports.
Delta Air Lines
Delta is reducing the frequency on flights to/from Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW) and Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC). Delta is the sole carrier to fly nonstop to/from these airports and London Heathrow Airport (LHR).
United Airlines
Next summer, United will reduce its London offerings from 2x to 1x daily when flying to/from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and from 3x to 2x daily when flying to/from Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD). British Airways and Virgin Atlantic also fly to/from Los Angeles.
All of these freed up slots at London Heathrow Airport (LHR) won’t sit vacant. Each of the airlines will share their slots with alliance and joint venture partners.
Anthony’s Take: There are tons of flights to London next summer and the airlines are starting to see that there might be too many seats. As airlines add destinations (both exotic and not so much), they’ll need aircraft and these cuts are just some we’ll likely see to balance it all out.

This article is fake news and click bait. Virgin Atlantic does not operate flights to Chicago. The article is incorrect
Chicago was a typo. Virgin Atlantic does fly to Los Angeles. Corrected.
