Best airline for Lafayette to Heathrow?
Posted on 3/10/19 at 11:49 am
Posted on 3/10/19 at 11:49 am
I'm flying into Heathrow and back from Edinburgh in May on a company award trip and I'm looking for advice on best airlines. The company is paying for coach, but I'm going to use miles to upgrade if possible. I used to fly to London 4x/year for work mainly with United on the dreamliner, but it's been a while. Any suggestions are appreciated.

I would fly delta to Atlanta and connect to Virgin Atlantic to LHR.

BA flies nonstop from MSY....

Can this be ticketed through Delta?

Are you trying to spend delta points?

Yes, they codeshare.

Fly Singapore from IAH to Manchester and take a train in either direction.

I have points with Delta and United, but I have Amex points I can use on any carrier.

Convert your Amex points to British Air Avios and use those to upgrade your seats. You need to open a BA account ahead of time. Amex points often convert to Avios at a bonus like 1.4:1 which is an added benefit. Plus, your company pays the fuel surcharge.

We took this flight over the holidays. I booked World Traveler Plus seats (Premium economy) & got bumped to business on the way over. Excellent service & you fly on a new Dreamliner. Highly recommend.

BA will do this to entice you.

They swapped an -800 for a -900 which made them re assign eveyone due to it being a larger aircraft (I hear this is fairly common). Honestly I preferred the World Traveler Plus seats. BA’s business “suites” are very tight for a 6’3 guy & the one I had was in the middle row facing backwards.

Thanks!

I’m one of the rare people who really likes their seating setup. I like the privacy. But I’ve also never ended up in the middle rows. Those just look awkward.
Their WTP seats really are fine though. Especially for a daylight flight.
