LAX xxx DUS
I haven't set foot on an airplane since 2019, thanks to Covid. I am fully vaccinated (Pfizer) and ready to get back on a plane.
I am looking to fly to Düsseldorf later this year, from LAX. I've done this trip many times pre-pandemic. It was straightorward. LAX-LHR-DUS. 1-stop.
I am looking at schedules now. AA has AA134, 135 non-stop LAX-LHR.
When I look for flights to DUS connecting in London does not seem to be an option. They are offering various 2-stop options: LAX to JFK or DFW, then to MAD then to DUS.
I don't mind connecting in Madrid (I speak Castellano/Spanish), but am wondering why they aren't offering LAX-LHR-DUS.
Any advice or comments?

result: we will now fly home to Dallas on the 17th on points. And are now flying J DFW to CDG on the 20th. Luckily we paid for J, and were able to score the last two seats between the 18th and the 22nd.
Kudos to Juanita at the EXP desk. 25 minutes to put it together.
My advice, as always, is avoid BA and LHR, unless you build in hours to connect. DL seems to work well for your itinerary, and MAD, if you want Oneworld, for me, has yet to provide any Cnx problems.
Bon chance.

I picked a random date in September and both AA and BA apps were showing LAX-LHR-DUS routings.
What are your dates? '
It's possible BA areb't operating DUS every day,

Germany declared yesterday that they are - as of today - open for fully vaccinated UK travelers, so added demand might work in your favor. Until yesterday only German citizens were allowed into Germany departing from the UK (with a very few exceptions) which led to an absolute bare bones operation of both BA/ LH between the two countries....

Thanks, all. I will wait a bit until my plans settle before worrying about this.
No beer anywhere tastes good to me. Yech. I have heard from others that Düsseldorf Altbier is far superior to Kölsch.
