British Airways is the only airline to offer direct flights from London to Tampa, making it easier for you to book your perfect holiday. The following is a list of the top reasons why we think you should definitely fly with British Airways this year and consider a direct flight to Tampa, even if your holiday destination is somewhere else in Florida!

Travel classes4

British Airways offer a range of travel classes for every taste and budget. No matter what class you choose to travel you will always have an enjoyable and special experience. With World Traveller, everything is included in the price with no hidden suprises. World Traveller Plus offers you an enhanced in-flight experience in a smaller cabin. Club World allows you to travel in style and comfort, offering lounge access, delightful meals and flat beds for those long flights. Finally First is an experience dedicated service featuring ergonomic lounges and on-board fine dinning...you will be hard-pressed to find a more enjoyable flight anywhere else.

Lounges 1

With over 60 dedicated British Airways departures and arrivals lounges as well as 90 additional partner lounges, British Airways offers a unique experience before you even board your flight. They offer an unparalleled, elegant surrounding with luxurious seating areas and delicious pre-flight meals.

Food and Drink2

British Airways put a lot of time and effort into making sure their food taste just as good 30,000 feet in the air as it does on the ground. Not only is the food and drink on board complimentary its also sourced locally and prepared fresh before every flight. British Airways provide a wide range of special meal options to cater for people with food allergies and dietary requirements. Customers travelling in First, Club World and World Traveller Plus can pre-order their in-flight meal online free of charge.

You can even join in on an online vote for which TV shows are added. There is a range of entertainment on board specifically for children so you neednt worry about your little ones being bored during the flight. If you just want to just relax during your flight theres an extensive list of music options and audio books to unwind to.

Baggage allowance5

Unlike most airlines, British Airways allows you to take all your holiday essentials in your checked baggage. Their baggage fares include at least one bag per person of up to 23kg. Even if you are traveling light you can still enjoy the great British Airways service without having to check in your bag so when you land you can make a quick getaway to your destination.

Voted Best Airline8

Recently, British Airways won seven of the top awards available at the Business Traveller Awards including Best Airline.  They are continuing their commitment to improving their service to maintain their stellar reputation, starting with employing 200 more customer service staff and continuing to keep their prices low. They are also improving the benefits to Executive Club Members and improving their award winning business class. This is good news to existing customers and should be more than enough to persuade new customers to fly with British Airways.

Convenience 7

Tampa Airport is located only an hours drive from Orlando and right near the Gulf Coast. If you are thinking of landing in Orlando Airport it is much easier and faster to check-in at Tampa and there are hardly ever any delays. The drive to Orlando is certainly a scenic one and the perfect opportunity to see the best of what Florida has to deliver.

Great Facility6

Tampa Airport is ranked 3rd for design and 2nd overall across all of America among domestic airports. Tampa international has also planned to spend nearly $1 billion on upgrading and modernising the whole airport to sustain their level of excellence. The project includes 2.6 million-square-foot consolidated rental car center near the entrance to the airport, a 1.4 mile automated people mover and a massive expansion of the main terminal. Soon everyone will be flying direct to Tampa!
