Last year, TPA & BA celebrated 40 years of service between London and Tampa, and this year will celebrate the start of LHR service

British Airways has served Tampa since 1985.

With the start of the IATA winter schedule, British Airways will be moving its nonstop Tampa service from London's Gatwick Airport to its major hub at Heathrow instead. 

The change also means an upgraded aircraft for the route, transitioning from BA's Gatwick-configured 777 to a 787-10 with four cabins of service, including First Class. 

The flight will operate 5x weekly. LHR is also served by Virgin Atlantic from Tampa.
