Virgin’s Pakistan flights go on sale
Virgin Atlantic has put tickets on sale for its three new routes to Pakistan, which will launch in December.
Virgin announced last month it was launching a four-times-a-week Manchester-Islamabad service on 10 December, a three-times-a-week Heathrow-Islamabad flight on 12 December and a four-times-a-week Heathrow-Lahore service on 13 December.
Seats are now on sale, with return economy fares starting at £519, premium from £756 and Upper Class from £1,986 for the Heathrow-Lahore flight.
The new routes will add 290,000 seats between the UK and Pakistan annually and have been put on sale one day after British Airways announced it too will operate four flights a week to Lahore, starting 12 October.
BA resumed its Heathrow-Islamabad service last month.
The airline had returned to the city in June 2019 after more than a decade, but flights were temporarily grounded because of Covid-19.
