Tampa touch down for Norwegian from expanded Gatwick network

Norwegian is expanding low cost transatlantic connections from Gatwick with new flights to Tampa and increased frequency on other routes.

The twice-weekly service to Florida’s west coast increases coverage of the state this winter.

The airline runs a daily service to Fort Lauderdale, rising from three flights a week, and five flights a week to Orlando, up from three a week. This gives a total of 14 flights a week to Florida

Tampa fares start at £165 one way in economy and £519 in premium class.

At the same time, the carrier is raising the number of flights to Boston from five a week to a daily service.

Las Vegas returns to the carrier’s Gatwick network this winter with two additional weekly services.

Norwegian’s service to Buenos Aires is going up from four flights a week to a daily frequency.

Norwegian’s long-haul flights from Gatwick are operated by Boeing 787 Dreamliner with up to 344 seats in a two-class configuration.

Senior vice president, commercial, Matthew Wood, said: “We are delighted to offer passengers another affordable route to the USA with the addition of Tampa, Florida.

“This winter we are continuing to offer consumers greater choice and flexibility when flying Norwegian with more flights to our most popular destinations.”

Gatwick chief commercial officer Guy Stephenson added: “Gatwick is committed to providing unrivalled choice for passengers and Norwegian’s new route bolsters our existing Tampa and Florida connections.

“This is a very welcome addition to Gatwick’s network of over 220 destinations, including over 60 long haul services. We are also delighted that passenger demand has driven yet more choice with now daily services to Boston and Buenos Aires.”
