Re: Another US Airline To Fly to Heathrow
Depends very much where you wanna be in the UK. If it's plum smack south, then you ain't much choice. Further north there's choice, including via Schiphol, Amsterdam.
From my current locality I can avoid LHR and Gatwick. I fly to DFW from Manchester (a nice airport) via PHL.

Re: Another US Airline To Fly to Heathrow
All you get to eat for 'lunch' is a chicken sandwich, a (congealed) pizza or maybe a burger. :curse: I'm taking my own food!
Oddly enough their shorter transatlantic flights offer better food, probably due to competition from other airlines. You get a hot meal with salad and dessert and afternoon tea with sandwiches and scones on daytime flights from the UK, yet this flight is approx 7 hours.
I'm astonished that the airlines get away with it here compared to the superior service you usually get on European and Asian airlines, I would have thought that American consumers would be demanding better quality of meals on domestic flights....

Re: Another US Airline To Fly to Heathrow
Continental flies (daily) to: Manchester, Bristol, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Belfast as well as Gatwick and currently code shares with Virgin for flights to Heathrow.
I know that American Airlines has resumed it's service into Stansted. Think they also fly into Manchester? Def LHR.
Silverjet (biz class - only 100 seats) flies 2x daily between Newark and Luton(!) and Maxjet and Eos (also biz class only) from JFK to Stansted and Gatwick.

Re: Another US Airline To Fly to Heathrow
Same here - Never again will I be doing the flying into Heathrow, tubing it across London with mahoosive cases to sit on a train to Solihull and then get a taxi to my mums, followed 2 weeks later by a taxi to New Street (that station REALLY needs an update!) train to Manchester, train to Heald Green, taxi to B&B, Taxi to airport the following morning, flight to US. I'll fly to Brum on Contimental, thin plane with crap tellies be damned! 
I'm back to work today as well, I give myself 4 hours before I crash and burn
