Not enough people would happily pay extra for this idea to fly
- lukas099 3y agoMaybe a small airline could analyze demographics of certain routes/times and carve out a niche serving upper class clientele or something.
- d1str0 3y agoAnd London to LA or NY are definitely routes with that demographic.
- sgjohnson 3y agoThe last all-business-class flight that served London to NY (BA1/BA2) was shut down in 2020. It flew from LCY to JFK with a stop at Shannon in Ireland for quick refuelling and US Immigration preclearance (so you landed in NY like it was a domestic flight). It was an Airbus A318 in a 32 (if I remember correctly) all business class configuration.
- pcl 3y agoIt stopped in Shannon to refuel, since LCY is too short for commercial transatlantic hardware to take off with enough fuel. The customs clearance in Ireland was a smart way to take advantage of the stop to make things less painful in New York.
- userinanother 3y agoBrexit probably killed it
- sgjohnson 3y agoNothing to do with Brexit at all, since Brexit had 0 impact on travel between the UK and the US, or on air travel between the UK and Ireland for that matter, because neither of those countries were in the Schengen area. Covid killed the flight.
- userinanother 3y agoBrexit killed England as a financial center. That also impacted travel to the usa
