BA honours 'Route 66' in '26
​​
British Airways will be the only carrier to offer a direct service between London Heathrow and St. Louis, Missouri, when the route launches in 2026.
The airline shared a fresh update just yesterday.
British Airways is set to grow its transatlantic network by launching fresh direct flights from London to the US in 2026. The new flight route will connect London Heathrow to St Louis, a major city in Missouri situated at the centre of the Midwest.
Famed for its legendary Gateway Arch and lively neighbourhoods, the UK carrier believes St Louis offers something for every traveller. Its flights to the destination are due to commence on April 19, 2026 and will run four times weekly during the summer months. Following the announcement, Neil Chernoff, British Airways' Chief Planning and Strategy Officer, said: "St. Louis is a fantastic addition to our US network – it’s a destination in itself as a city with a rich history and a vibrant cultural scene, as well as a gateway to exciting destinations beyond this.
