Virgin takes off for Vegas from Manchester
Virgin Atlantic has marked the launch of Las Vegas flights from Manchester in typical fashion, complete with Vegas showgirls.
The new route from Manchester complements the airline’s current daily Las Vegas flights from London Heathrow.
Vegas is the airline’s fourth US destination from Manchester alongside Orlando, New York, and Atlanta.
It is also the only US West Coast route direct from the northwest.
Dom Kennedy, SVP at Virgin Atlantic Holidays, said: “We’re thrilled to be reintroducing our Manchester to Las Vegas service. We know our customers love Las Vegas.”
“This new flight will increase access to Las Vegas for UK visitors. The UK is our no. 1 source of overseas visitation, and we are thrilled to welcome this new route to our city,” said Steve Hill, president and CEO of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority.
The seasonal Las Vegas flights operate three times a week from Manchester on three-class Airbus A350-1000 jets.
The Manchester to Vegas route was previously operated prior to the pandemic.
