United Airlines is retrenching in Boston, ending its sole international flight from its operation there.<\/p>\n

The carrier will cease flying between Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) and London’s Heathrow Airport (LHR) as of Oct. 27, as first seen in Cirium schedules and later confirmed by a carrier spokesperson.<\/p>\n

United’s daily Boston flight began April 14, 2022, and it was operated by the airline’s most premium wide-body jet<\/a>, the “high-J” Boeing 767-300ER, which is outfitted with 99 economy seats, 22 seats in Premium Plus and 46 Polaris seats in business class.<\/p>\n

Though Boston isn’t a United hub, it is home to a spacious and modern United Club and a slew of domestic flights to each of the carrier’s domestic hubs. The airline even flies lie-flat-equipped Boeing 757-200s<\/a> on the premium transcontinental routes from Boston to Los Angeles and San Francisco.<\/p>\n

The airline added the Boston-to-London route<\/a> during the pandemic, which might’ve initially puzzled some aviation observers. It’s possible that the carrier added the route at least somewhat in response to JetBlue’s new service<\/a> between the two cities, which officially took off last August.<\/p>\n
