American Airlines
As the world's largest airline, American Airlines offers a very wide choice of flights to 250 destinations in 40 countries all around the world.

With regular cheap flights serving London and Manchester airports in the UK, and some flights serving Glasgow, passengers can travel to an extensive and convenient choice of destinations in the US, South and Central America, and beyond.

American Airlines is also a member of the oneworld alliance, an alliance of eight of the world's best airlines, with other members including British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Iberia and Air Lingus.

This membership further extends the range of exciting destinations that the company can offer flights and cheap airfares to. It also provides easier transfers for American Airlines customers in airports all over the planet and the ability to earn and redeem airmiles on flights operated by any of the alliance partners.

You can also earn airmiles with the American Airlines AAdvantage miles plan when travelling with American Airlines code share partners, which includes selected rail journeys as well as flights from more than 15 airline partners.

The airline regularly runs special offers and promotions featuring very cheap airfares, but for the cheapest airfares from American Airlines, make sure you book your flight from Major Travel.

American Airlines operates a large and modern fleet of 683 aeroplanes, including 34 large Airbus A300-600 aeroplanes, 77 Boeing 737-800 aircraft and 143 Boeing 757s.

With hubs based in several US destinations including Dallas Fort-Worth International Airport, the airline adheres to stringent safety and maintenance procedures, performing 11 man-hours of maintenance for every hour each aircraft spends in flight.

Passengers can enjoy great service on board an American Airlines flight as well. The airline recently overhauled the menu for all its transcontinental flights featuring delicious new choices, including new healthy eating options.

Even for the cost of an economy airfare, American Airlines passengers can enjoy individual seat back video with a choice of 12 channels of programming and music on all Boeing 777 aeroplanes, and complimentary headsets to keep you entertained all through the flight.

For extra convenience, American Airlines lets customers check-in for their flight electronically, using its internet Flight Check-In Service. Check-in can be carried out over the internet and a boarding card printed to avoid having to wait in airport queues before the flight.

American Airlines can trace its roots back to 1924, when aviator Charles A Lindbergh operated a flight to take a bag of mail from St Louis to Chicago in a small DH-4 biplane. A group of small aviation companies were merged and eventually became American Airlines in 1934.

The company began operating European flights in the 1940s and pioneered non-stop transcontinental flights in both directions in 1953.

American Airlines has won many industry awards for its flights and airfares over the years and in 2004 won eight awards from Executive Travel magazine, including Best Airline for Customer Service, Best In-flight Amenities and Entertainment and Best Airline to the Caribbean.

It was also recognised as the Airline of Choice for Travellers with a Disability at the 2006 OAG awards in London.
