LHR-DXB! Winter Seasonal 4 x a week!
Big news. If your customers are planning a trip to Las Vegas, they’ll soon be able to double down on their flight options, because we’re bringing back our popular ex Manchester route.
Whether they’re making it or spending it, money makes the world go round in Vegas. This neon - lit playground makes it easy to impress even the most discerning clients, with its cutting-edge conference venues, fine dining, dazzling entertainment and unforgettable views of the Strip.
Our summer seasonal A350 flights from Manchester join our daily Heathrow service from 3rd June 2024, departing three times a week.
Hold on to your bottomless brunch, because we’re headed to the Middle Eastern city of souks, sand, sun, and really really tall skyscrapers, Dubai.
Your customers can relax in the lap of luxury, enjoying the magnificent hotels, perfectly pristine beaches, and finest dining in the world… or adventure into the desert for a spot of high-octane dune bashing.
Our brand new direct 787 service from London Heathrow will operate four times a week from 28 October 2023.
Either way, they’ll be going big – before they go home. Flights from Manchester to Las Vegas and London to Dubai are available to book from 3rd June.
It is an overnight flight to Dubai, leaving Heathrow Terminal 3 at 17.35 and landing in Dubai at the unsocial hour of 04.40.
The return is much better, leaving Dubai at 13.00 and arriving into Heathrow at 17.05.

We’ve got some news to make your customers travelling between Barbados, Grenada and St Vincent jump for joy, as they can now hop it in style with Virgin Atlantic. They’ll enjoy the same warm, welcoming service and brilliant inflight entertainment as they would on our international flights - just travel sized!
Our new inter-island flights operate twice a week from June 2023 and are available to book from 3rd June. We can’t wait to welcome them onboard.

Looking at timings I can do VS187 to Grenada, get there for 1730 and depart there at 20:15. I am really tempted to do that as a back to back just for a bit of AvGeeking and any potential Tier Points that I might get out of it. Anyone got an experience of doing a back to back at Grenada?

I am shocked that they are sending a leisure config 350
to Vegas from Manchester, I don’t remember the 747 operating that flight (happy to be corrected) and with such a big Y cabin, it feels like a lot of capacity to fill.

VS075 wrote:It’s also a useful reminder at this point that the higher density A350s were initially specced as such to replace 747s, so it’s not a surprise to me that they’re being deployed on former 747 routes. That said, I’m still waiting to see them on certain Caribbean routes that are primarily A330s these days with a 787 here and there, but I’ll take that back if it’s already happened.
