But Australia is delayed again, now looks like next year too.

Sorry from the BBC is above.

Yippee! I can't wait, I've always had a strange fascination with Cuba, but then again I always wanted to go to Russia comrade!

This just gets better - more diving destinations to use miles on

Havana, excellent news, very near the top of my list for "places I need to go to but haven't yet".

So, will it be LGW or LHR?

VSlf

HAV and NAS will be from LGW

The new services will operate twice a week to HAV starting from 21 July, and once a week to NAS, starting from 18 July

LGW also increasing services to Las Vegas, Grenada and Tobago from July 2005.

VS will also add another daily service between Gatwick and Orlando from October 2005

Havana is great news, I have always avoided the Caribbean as I prefer the US mainland, but I think we may be tempted now.

VS to Havana! Consider the irony of flying to this worker's paradise in "Upper Class".

I'd luv to go to Havana as I've heard the SCUBA diving is out of this would in Cuba.

Roll on Havana and Sydney....desperate to go back to Sydney and flying Virgin all the way would be the icing on the cake

Went to Cuba to dive a few years back. Weather was awful so ended up having to dive wrong side of island. Interesting to say that I've dived the Bay of Pigs but not great diving!

This kind of expansion is great news. As a leisure traveller, i like the sound of Cuba - it will be nice to be able to try these destinations and fly Virgin there.

And expansion on the Las Vegas route again! Milking their monopoly on that one i'd say! No complaints here though.

will the cuba flight be a continuation of one of the existing carrabean routes
