American Airlines to launch Flights between New York and Stansted, London

To celebrate its new, daily nonstop service between New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and London’s Stansted Airport beginning October 28, American Airlines has launched a bonus promotion for AAdvantage members, as well as a special low fare for customers traveling in Business Class.

For a limited time, customers who fly round trip on American between JFK and Stansted in Business Class or full-fare Economy Class will earn up to 12,000 AAdvantage bonus miles (6,000 bonus miles for each one-way flight). Travel must be completed between October 28, 2007, and January 31, 2008. To qualify, customers need to register using promotion code NYSTN.

“American is thrilled to begin nonstop service from New York to London Stansted with our newly reconfigured Boeing 767-300 aircraft offering lie-flat seating in Business Class,” said Kurt Stache, President of AAdvantage Marketing Programs. “And with our introductory AAdvantage bonus offer, customers will see their AAdvantage miles add up quickly. It’s a great opportunity any way you look at it.”

For travel beginning October 30, 2007 – March 29, 2008, American is offering a special Business Class fare between JFK and London Stansted of just US$1,365 each way (based on required round-trip purchase). AAdvantage bonus miles can be earned using this special fare. Tickets must be purchased no later than October 17, 2007.

American will initially begin flying between JFK and London Stansted this month with one round-trip flight a day. Beginning in April 2008, American will add a second daily flight on the route.
