ORD & JFK → London Business Class July 2026 (AA Flagship Award Sale)
ORD & JFK to London from 45K Miles One-Way
New York (JFK) to London (LHR), Business, One Way.
Fly nonstop to London this summer in American Airlines' brand-new Flagship Business suites for as little as 45,000 points one-way from New York (JFK), or 55,000 from Chicago (ORD), via Alaska Atmos — a route that normally runs 150K+ miles or about $4,750 in cash. Heads up: this is one-way only (there's no award space coming back to the U.S. this summer), so it's best paired with a separate return or a points-back plan. It's even cheaper at 42K each way through Japan Airlines if you can navigate JAL's booking quirks. Best availability is July through August.
Go to alaskaair.com and choose "Use points" with "Flexible dates."
Enter your passenger count and search one-way (JFK→LHR or ORD→LHR) — it's easiest to search one city at a time.
On the results page, filter to "Partner Business" class.
Filter for "Nonstop" and "American"-operated flights to land the 787-9 Flagship Suites.
Confirm the total shows 45K from JFK or 55K from ORD with about $18 in taxes, then book. If you need miles, transfer Bilt points to Alaska first (~10 minutes).
Always confirm the live award space before transferring any points — flash availability can disappear within a couple of days.
