Virgin Atlantic has launched its second daily service to Washington Dulles International Airport today.
The additional service will operate from now until October 27.
Chief executive Steve Ridgway said: “This new service gives Virgin Atlantic passengers the best possible schedule. They can choose the existing morning departure from Heathrow to Washington, or wait until the late afternoon to leave London after a day’s work.
“On the return, our new late evening departure from Washington will suit the determined lobbyist who can have dinner on the Hill and still catch an overnight flight back to London.”
The new flight VS055 will depart from Heathrow at 17.30 and arrive in at Washington at 20.55 and the VS056 will return from Washington at 23.10 and arrive Heathrow at 1135 the following day.
