British Airways is gearing up to expand its North American network next summer, offering more flights to the United States, Canada, and Mexico than ever before.
As per a recent press release, the airline is set to operate over 400 weekly nonstop flights between the U.K. and North America during the peak weeks of the summer 2025 travel season, with direct services to 26 cities across the U.S.
Moreover, British Airways boasts of providing more flights between the U.K. and the U.S. than any other European carrier and will be the sole operator offering a First Class service between the two countries.
Key Route Enhancements
British Airways has confirmed that it will increase the number of flights on several important routes to North America from its base in London Heathrow (LHR) next summer.
These changes include doubling the number of flights to Miami International Airport (MIA) from daily to twice daily year-round, coinciding with the opening of its new airport lounge at MIA.

Additionally, there will be three extra weekly flights to Las Vegas (LAS) during peak summer weeks, raising the total to ten services per week, and one more weekly flight to Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT), making it a daily service for the first time since the route was introduced in 2019.
The number of flights to Washington-Dulles (IAD) will increase by seven per week, resulting in 21weekly flights on this key route. And in Canada, the airline will add up to seven extra weekly flights to Vancouver International Airport (YVR), making the total 14 weekly flights next summer in addition to daily flights from London Gatwick (LGW).
Global Network Expansion
