Virgin Atlantic restarting Orlando, Las Vegas flights for US border reopening
Virgin Atlantic will resume flight operations to Orlando and Las Vegas on the 8 November, the same day that the US borders reopen.
Connections between the Big Apple and the north of England are also receiving a boost, with flights between Manchester Airport and New York also resuming.
Services to Orlando will depart daily from both London Heathrow and Manchester.
The route is currently the most booked across Virgin Atlantic’s global network.
To meet increased demand, the airline will deploy the newest, largest plane in its fleet, the Airbus A350-100 from 8 -14 November on its London Heathrow to Orlando route.
Las Vegas flights will operate daily from London Heathrow on the airline’s Boeing 787-900, with daily services from Manchester to New York resuming on an Airbus A330.
Juha Jarvinen, Chief Commercial Officer at Virgin Atlantic, said; “Our customers are ready to begin their US adventures, therefore it’s only right that we offer them the opportunity to fly as soon as we can.”
The airline offers unlimited free date and flight changes for new bookings as part of a series of enhancements to give added flexibility to customers in uncertain times.
The rebooking horizon has been extended for all customers until 30 April 2023, giving a broader window of time to reschedule plans if needed.
