Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9
I'm ready! It has already started! Three US carriers commenced LHR service this past week! (DL, US, CO)

US's first A330 service from PHL-LHR departed PHL on March 29th and arrived at Heathrow on the morning of March 30th.

is anyone besides Air France (lax-lhr) flying routes from non home countrys?
Overheard on JFK TOWER - S Turns are fine, U-Turns are bad....
Open Skies (British Airways) will be adding flights from CDG to JFK.
As we get more into the Open Skies I'm sure more will come. Virgin, Lufthansa, Singapore, and others were talking about some lucrative routes.
Virgin will probably launch CDG-JFK by the end of the year, among others coming later.

Yeah, I saw an Air France 777 at Terminal 2 at LHR yesterday.
The price of fuel may cause a lot less open skies flying that most would have envisnoned had this happen a year or two ago.
For example a year or two ago several non UK type European or even Asian carriers with Heathrow slots may have wanted to fly LHR-JFK only for the prestige of serving that route knowing their flights might only be half full.
Or lets say hypothetically AF hates BA, thinks they have a better product and wants to compete on one of BA's most profitable routes for the purpose of hurting a disliked competitor. Even though AF just did this with LAX-LHR they probably want due any more of this with the price of fuel.
