Increased frequency between Heathrow and New York is being scheduled by Continental Airlines.
The carrier is also introducing flat bed seats in its business class cabin.
An early-evening departure from London to New York/Newark will be introduced from March 28 for the first time.
This fourth daily flight will be supplemented by a fifth daily service in October from Heathrow Terminal 4.
This will bring the total number of daily departures from Heathrow to seven, including twice-daily flights to Houston.
All aircraft from Heathrow will feature new flat bed seats in BusinessFirst from June 2.
The US airline’s chairman, president and CEO Jeff Smisek said: “Heathrow-New York is a flagship route for Continental.
“As the leading airline in the New York market, we are excited about introducing these schedule and product improvements for our London-New York travellers.
“All our London-New York customers will benefit from more flight options, while those travelling in BusinessFirst – whether to New York or Houston – will be assured of a flat bed seat whenever they choose to fly with us.”
