More British Airways Flights to Tampa from London Gatwick Airport

Published by nora | Filed under Buyer / Seller Tips, Market Trends, Miscellaneous

More people in the UK must be going to Tampa because British Airways has increased its flights to Tampa from London Gatwick Airport, the second largest international airport in London and the second busiest airport in the UK.

From a flight frequency of five times a week from Gatwick to the city of Tampa, British Airways has started offering one flight every day for this route.

Why did British Airways increase its flight to Tampa? The main reasons are the following:

1.   The city of Tampa is a great entry point to Florida and other places in the Gulf Coast. Tampa is close to several well-known Florida cities such as Orlando, St. Petersburg, Clearwater and Sarasota. Orlando is less than 1.5 hour drive from the Tampa International Airport, which ensures stress-free airport transition for travelers, particularly families vacationing in Florida.

2.   The Tampa International Airport has been recognized over the years by travelers. In the annual Business Travel Awards of Conde Nast Traveler in 2010, the Tampa airport was recognized as the third best airport in the U.S., even better than the very busy Orlando airport and other major airports like San Diego, La Vegas, Seattle, Pittsburgh, Detroit and Salt Lake City. Its best-scoring categories are comfort/design and location/access.

3.   The city of Tampa and surrounding areas are perfect for couple and family holidays. Here are some of the top Tampa attractions mentioned in the website of British Airways:
