Thanks to a new fare sale, multiple nonstop flights to London are available at steep discounts.
American Airlines and British Airways have slashed prices on flights departing from major U.S. cities — including Atlanta, Austin, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Newark and Seattle — by half-off, in some cases.
There’s a generous travel window, too. This deal encompasses trips between September 2024 and March 2025, and most routes include sales prices over the Thanksgiving holiday. Fares will include a free carry-on bag; checking a bag will cost around $75 each way.
