Long haul airline Virgin Atlantic has announced it is expanding its range of transatlantic routes to the world's theme park capital. A new direct route from London Heathrow to Tampa, will launch on November 3, further cementing its commitment to its Florida heartland.
The new year-round Florida service will initially fly four times a week before increasing to daily from November 28, complementing the airline’s up to four daily flying to Orlando and double daily flying to Miami. This latest addition follows the airline’s launch of direct flights between London and Austin, Texas, in May 2022.
Offering more than 190,000 seats each year, Virgin Atlantic will be the only airline to directly connect the Tampa Bay region with Heathrow. Tampa is the perfect gateway to Florida’s top attractions with the popular theme parks of Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando and Busch Gardens all within easy reach.
