It will become Delta's only direct flight from the Sunshine state to the UK.

The route will operate four times a week until March 29 as customers fly on an Airbus A330-900neo.
Matteo Curcio, Delta’s Senior Vice President for Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and India, said: "In partnership with Virgin Atlantic, our new route between Orlando and London seamlessly connects two diverse destinations, offering customers a wealth of experiences on both sides of the Atlantic. "Floridians can explore London’s historic landmarks like Buckingham Palace and enjoy world-class dining, while Londoners can escape to the sunny beaches and world-famous attractions of Orlando." Travellers can expect a world-class comfort as they cross the pond with in-flig.
