British Airways Moves Tampa Flight from Gatwick to Heathrow with 787-10

• **Route:** LGW-TPA becomes LHR-TPA.
• **Aircraft:** Boeing 787-10 (four-cabin) replaces the Boeing 777-200ER (three-cabin).
• **Product:** Introduction of First Class (8 seats) and Club Suites in Business (48 seats) for the first time on this route.
• **Frequency:** Reduction from daily to 5x weekly, resulting in a capacity downgrade from ~2,324 to ~1,280 seats per week.
• **Schedule:** BA211 departs LHR at 12:45 PM arriving TPA at 5:30 PM; BA210 departs TPA at 7:55 PM arriving LHR at 9:15 AM (+1 day). This shift allows Tampa passengers to connect into BA's broader Heathrow network (e.g., DEL, FRA, JNB) rather than the leisure-focused Gatwick network
