British Airways is to launch the only direct flight from Europe to the US city of Nashville next May.
The five times a week service from Heathrow will be operated by a Boeing 787-8 with return fares starting from £749.
Sean Doyle, British Airways’ director of network and alliances, said: "We are Incredibly excited to be adding Nashville to our existing global network, making us the only carrier flying non-stop between Europe and Tennessee."
He said Nashville, know as Music City, has one of the fastest growing economies in the US.
BA is also increasing services to Philadelphia and Phoenix from daily to 10
