BRITISH AIRWAYS BEGINS FLIGHT TO FORT LAUDERDALE
One of the largest cities in Florida, which is situated just 28 miles north of Miami, Fort Lauderdale enjoys average year-round temperatures of 25 degrees and basks in 3,000 hours of sunshine every year.
The route will be served by a 777-200 aircraft operating three-days a week year round (four-a-week during peak summer) with each way fares from £189 available to book now on ba.com.
Colm Lacy, British Airways’ head of commercial for Gatwick, said: “British Airways will now serve four Florida gateways, offering more seats from London to the sunshine state than any other carrier. It’s a city that boasts beautiful beaches, Venice-like waterways, an international yachting scene and world-class restaurants, and is also within easy reach of Miami, so customers can visit both destinations as part of a trip to the sunshine state.
