AA Business Class To London, Up To 9 Seats |
| This is a great time to book business class to London on American Airlines. You can book up to nine business class award tickets which should be enough for all of your family and friends. If it’s not… well, I tried!
You can even find some dates from LAX so jump on this quickly if you’re on the west coast! Plus, you can find summer dates from a few airports on the east coast.

American operates a Boeing 777 and 787 to Europe. Business class is arranged in a 1-2-1 reverse herringbone cabin layout on the 777. On the 787, the cabin layout is 1-2-1 and some seats are rear facing. Many consider the 777 to be a nicer experience.
Regardless of aircraft, each seat will be lie-flat and have direct aisle access.
You may prefer to eat at the Greenwich Lounge (JFK) or a Flagship Lounge. Inflight service can be a mixed bag, but American has a solid selection of entertainment options to keep you occupied and the bed is comfortable. |
| Best Ways To Book
Alaska: Great Rate, No Surcharges, Bilt Partner
From the east coast, Alaska is tough to beat at 45,000 miles one-way and no surcharges. Even Alaska’s rate of 55,000 miles from other airports (including LAX) is the best you’ll find.
If you have Bilt points or are sitting on Alaska miles, this is your best bet.
Finnair (Avios): Solid Rate, Easy To Earn, Limited Surcharges
While you can book American with any Avios program including British Airways, Iberia, and Qatar Airways, Finnair Plus is your best option as they only require 65,000 Avios and they don’t tack on carrier-imposed surcharges.
While you can only transfer Capital One miles to Finnair, you can transfer Amex, Bilt, and Chase points to British Airways and Citi points to Qatar Airways. You can then move the Avios to your Finnair Plus account to book.

Unlike British Airways, Finnair does not pass on all of the surcharges so taxes/fees down will be ~$253 out of the U.S. There’s no way to avoid the UK’s APD fee of ~$245 if you start your return from London, so the taxes/fees will be a bit steep.
American: Great Rate, No Surcharges, Tough To Earn
If you have American miles, 57,500 miles from JFK and 58,000 miles from Chicago are great options. However, AA miles are tough to earn as they don’t have a transfer partner so you might prefer to save them for another award ticket such as Qsuites. |
