Complementing Delta’s daily service, Boston will be served with three flights a day.
US flights on both routes will be served by A330-900neo or A350-1000, jets, which increases the number of Upper and Premium seats by 23%.
Overall, Virgin Atlantic’s enhanced schedule will feature a record 27 daily US flights to destinations including Atlanta, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Tampa and Washington DC.
