Virgin Atlantic outlines wider return to flying

The sights of San Francisco, the magic of Orlando and the idyllic beaches of the Caribbean are now closer, as Virgin Atlantic has announced the restart of flights to more of its global destinations.

The carrier will be offering customers a wider range of sunny locations to choose from this winter.

The popular Heathrow to San Francisco route, home of the Golden Gate Bridge, Fisherman’s Wharf and Silicon Valley, will be the first to resume on the October 2nd, following an 18- month hiatus. 

Heathrow to Orlando services will resume daily operations in November. 

The route is currently the most booked across Virgin Atlantic’s global portfolio, reaffirming the pent-up demand for families and thrill seekers to enjoy the magic of Florida’s top destination. 

Party goers can also rejoice, as the airline’s Las Vegas flights will restart from November, with daily flights on the airline’s Boeing 787-900.

The welcome news comes as bookings to the USA surged by over 600 per cent last week, following American president Biden’s mandate that fully vaccinated visitors from the UK will be allowed to enter the country from November.
