An alternative route from London to Miami via Madrid is being introduced this month.
Spanish carrier Air Europa is starting the one-stop service on Friday (March 19) with prices starting at £423.20 return including taxes.
Flights from Gatwick via the Spanish capital will run three times a week.
The airline will fly to Florida following the introduction of a Lima route last month.
Air Europa introduced twice daily flights from Gatwick to Madrid a year ago.
UK general manager Colin Stewart said: “Following a positive start to the year, we are happy to announce the launch of what is our second new route for 2010, London to Miami, via Madrid.
“Competitive pricing and a commitment to excellent customer service has facilitated the expansion of our destination portfolio. Something we hope to continue to build on throughout the coming year”.
