I was paging through departed flights & looking at the routings from the back of the OAG's & I came across flight 120 routing LAX-SEA-LHR-LGW. Now flight 121 shows FRA-LHR-SEA-LAX.
I am imagining it's likely a typo, I am submitting the link, so I don't get called crazy, well here at least.
I have not heard of airplane service between these airports, I know helicopter service has existed in the past, but has PA or for that fact any carrier that served both LHR & LGW via one or the other London airport?

If you look at flight 408, it flew MEX-IAH-LGW, so I guess Yes is the answer they served LGW, but as I want to know if via LHR was real or a misprint?

Did PA ever serve LGW via LHR?

Re: Did PA serve LGW ever?
PA never operated Heathrow - Gatwick. After the S61 services I don't believe there has ever been an air service between the two.
PA did serve Gatwick, after they sold off the Heathrow routes

IAH was into LGW according to the link I provided, I'm sure this was Bermuda II related, maybe it was a temporary bridge of aircraft. Although IIRC IAH was served with the L15 & SEA the 747, I think SEA was flown by the L15 in a couple off seasons, as well as being tagged with both LAX & SFO. The fares were about $59.00 each way to SF & $79 to LAX.

Re: Did PA ever serve LGW via LHR?
SEA was standing alone service peak season then extended to either SFO or LAX in winter using 747s not the the L15 as I recall they were only on LHR-DTW before the A310s came on mass.
I remember doing the LHR-SEA with both the extension although I forget off hand where it was going beyond SEA now (Feb 89) plus also LHR-SEA as a terminating flight (May 87)

The L-1011 was never regularly used on the DTW-LHR route it went from a 747 to an A310. The L-1011 flew DTW-JFK but not DTW-LHR
the truth does matter, guys. too bad it's often quite subjective. the truth is beyond the mere facts and figures. it's beyond good and bad, right and wrong...

Re: Did PA ever serve LGW via LHR?
Pan Am did briefly serve LGW (CLE-DTW-LGW) which was flown post sale of the LHR slots to United, using an A310. Believe Delta acquired the route shortly after and tried it for a time, but eventually just axed it completely, as DTW (and CLE) route authorities to LHR were not part of the sale to United Airlines.

No quite true, there was the airlink helicopter service between 78 and 86.

The route was never axed it was sold to Northwest. Delta held out and insisted that they get the route authority in the Pan Am bankruptcy. The route was not allowed to be sold to United along with MIIA which also switched over to Gatwick when Delta took it over.

Re: Did PA ever serve LGW via LHR?
Now, for the same price, Delta also is acquiring Pan Am`s routes between New York and the European continent; its hub operations in Frankfurt, Germany; and its routes to London from Miami and Detroit. Moreover, Delta will assume leases on 45 of Pan Am`s 150 airplanes to service the routes it is buying.

I am thinking it must have been a typo.
I pulled out the actual Pan Am timetable dated February 15, 1985 - the same month as those OAG itineraries.
In Pan Am's February 15, 1985 timetable, it shows flight 120 operating Los Angeles-Heathrow-Frankfurt or Los Angeles-Seattle/Tacoma-Heathrow-Frankfurt depending on the day of the week.

That's the S61 I was talking about

The L15 was used very briefly for one season, granted not long but it was used never the less. I can't remember exactly what year it was now without checking my old PA time tables but living under the flight path, in the shadow of LHR then you would see it go over.
