British Airways has announced plans to launch a new nonstop service between Broward County’s Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and London Gatwick starting July 6, 2017.
British Airways already operates from Miami, Tampa and Orlando and this new service, now on sale, will give Floridians increased choice of service, airport and flight time, the airline said. The new route will launch with economy class fares from $715 roundtrip, including all fees, taxes and charges.
BA2169 will depart from Gatwick at 09:25 and arrive at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport at 13:45 while the BA2168 will leave Fort Lauderdale at 17:00, arriving into Gatwick at 06:30 the next day.
The route will be operated by a 777-200 aircraft three days per week (four per week during peak summer). The aircraft has 275 seats across three cabins: 48 in Club World (business), 24 in World Traveller Plus (premium economy); and 203 in World Traveller (economy). The cabins have interiors with individual on-demand entertainment systems. On the route, British Airways will provide free meals, snacks and beverages, including a full service bar.
A joint business agreement between American, British Airways, Iberia and Finnair allows members of the AAdvantage, Executive Club and Iberia Plus programs to earn and redeem points or miles on codeshare flights across the airlines.
