Virgin Atlantic ramps up winter sunshine flights
Virgin Atlantic is boosting winter flight capacity for sun seekers.
The airline’s recently launched seasonal routes to Dubai and the Maldives will both increase to a daily service for the 2024-25 winter season.
Barbados continues as the most popular Caribbean flight destination and will see a record number of flights for 2024.
Double daily services will operate from London Heathrow throughout winter 2024, in addition to its four times a week service from Manchester.
The new winter fights will go on sale from this weekend.
Barbados will operate double daily from 27 October, with daily Dubai services resuming on the 26 October 2024 and daily Maldives flights on 27 October 2024.
Juha Jarvinen, Chief Commercial Officer, said; ” Our recent route launches to Dubai and the Maldives have already proved exceptionally popular.”
“We’re pleased to offer more opportunities to reach these luxurious destinations in 2024 and 2025.”
Virgin will have a record number of Caribbean flights in 2024 with direct services to Antigua, The Bahamas, Barbados, Grenada, Jamaica, St Lucia, St Vincent and The Grenadines, and Turks & Caicos.
“The introduction of twice daily Barbados flights, alongside our four times a week service from Manchester, cement the island’s position as our most popular destination.”
Virgin Atlantic Holidays has inclusive winter sun package deals to Dubai, Maldives and Barbados.
Last week, Virgin Atlantic announced further expansion to its US network.
Next summer, it will offer a record number of flights between London and New York, with a seventh daily flight to JFK.
With its Joint Venture partner Delta, Virgin will offer ten daily services to the Big Apple, an increase of 11% compared to summer 2023.
In a further boost to its East Coast flying, Virgin Atlantic will also operate a second daily flight to Boston.
