Travelers planning a trip to London have lost one route option.
British Airways recently revealed it would be suspending service on flights between New York’s JFK Airport and London’s Gatwick Airport in the coming months. The airline cites delays in receiving engines and parts from manufacturer Rolls-Royce as the reason for the flight suspension.
“We’re disappointed that we’ve had to make further changes to our schedule as we continue to experience delays to the delivery of engines and parts from Rolls-Royce – particularly in relation to the Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 engines fitted to our 787 aircraft,” a representative from British Airways shared with Travel + Leisure in a statement.
British Airways didn’t confirm the number of flights being canceled, or the duration.
As a resolution for affected passengers, British Airways has been reaching out to passengers and rebooking them on airline partners or to another London-based airport such as Heathrow, where the airline will continue to operate service.
Looking ahead to 2025, British Airways is still predicting a «record-breaking» summer for travel between the United Kingdom and North America.

The airline is also expanding for 2025 with a new lounge at Miami International Airport. The 13,000 square foot traveler oasis will feature a «new lounge design», and be located near British Airways' departure gates, T+L reported in September.
British Airways recently introduced a new codeshare agreement with Alaska Airlines, allowing for easier booking on each other's flights as well as reciprocal loyalty benefits.

Low-cost carrier Spirit Airlines is cutting dozens more flights across the country in a shake-up aimed at directing resources to the most popular routes.
When Ivy Nallo and Zack Nussdorf moved to Taghkanic, N.Y., in 2020, they envisioned having a small garden where they could grow enough produce to host dinners on the screen porch. Four years later, the 625-square-foot plot has grown into a one-acre farm with greenhouses and a herd of Mangalitsa pigs, known for their lard. At the end of October, Nallo and Nussdorf opened Restaurant Manor Rock in Hudson, N.Y., a 20-minute drive from their farm. Much of the produce, like the patchwork peppers and the Barbarella eggplants, comes from their land, as does the pork for their loin chops and charcuterie. Nussdorf briefly worked as a line cook at the Michelin-starred Brooklyn restaurant the Four Horsemen. Here, he and the chef Diego Romo, previously of Gem and Estela in Manhattan, are making simple, seasonal dishes, like grilled squid with turnips and potatoes cooked in Mangalitsa lard. Before it hosted a string of restaurants, Manor Rock’s Warren Street space was a townhouse. It was overhauled earlier this year by the design and architecture firm Charlap Hyman & Herrero, who outfitted the restaurant with porcelain sconces, cream-colored walls and a red-oak bar made of trees from Manor Rock Farm. “We wanted it to feel like it’s been here for the last hundred years,” Nallo says. .

Believe it: there is great skiing in upstate New York. New Yorkers know there are a number of good reasons to venture upstate year-round, but come winter those snowy slopes beckon. And while many picture a winter in New York to be one of sparkling lights of the Rockefeller Tree, crowded streets of fabulous fur coats, or even the tall skyscrapers that evade snowfall, for skiers (or snowboarders) who wish to see all that New York truly offers, there’s no shortage of vibrant ski mountains, towns, lodges, and resorts that are totally dreamy for great winter skiing experiences right near the big city. Some are even less than two hours away.
