Airlines have announced cuts to their international flights in response to the sudden drop in travel demand resulting from the spread of the coronavirus and subsequent travel bans. But, travelers who must fly from the United States to points far afield still can — at least for now.

For their part, airlines want to keep flying as much as they can — their international routes are among the most lucrative they operate. Most are phasing out routes over the coming days and many are making frequent schedule updates. Airlines are each moving at their own pace; look for updates on their websites, but be aware they can sometimes lag behind. Travelers beware.

The major U.S. carriers: American Airlines, Delta and United

The American trans-Atlantic carriers announced major service changes over the weekend affecting travel between the United States, Europe, Britain, South America and Australia. Those changes are on top of flight cancellations to Asia made earlier in the year.

American Airlines

American Airlines announced Saturday it would reduce many of its international flights until at least May 6. This includes flights from New York, Chicago and Los Angeles to London Heathrow and Los Angeles to Sydney, among other popular destinations. American said it would continue to operate one flight daily from Dallas and Miami to London and three flights per week between Dallas and Tokyo.
