Roundtrip fares can already be booked starting at around $766 on the British Airways website.
It will be the airline’s third route from Gatwick to Florida, and its fourth service to the Sunshine State. British Air already has direct flights from Miami, Orlando and Tampa.
Norwegian Air currently is the only airline to offer non-stop flights from Fort Lauderdale to London.
