Local collaboration made this a success. Props to @flystl, @WTCSTL. @STLPartnership, #STL Port Authority, @GreaterSTLinc and my teammates at @explorestlouis for making this happen. ✈️
@British_Airways is expanding its nonstop STL–London Heathrow service for Summer 2027, including daily flights for more than 4 months of the season.
That adds up to 80% more seats than Summer 2026 & more than 35,400 seats between STL & LHR next summer.
