Showing as a destination on the VS website. Announcement soon? Would be a great winter route.

Good spot!

Not heard or seen anything about this so far.

I noticed that, but if you start looking at dates, it returns no direct flights.

Simply put, no it isn’t.

It’s worth remembering that VS announced this route a few years ago, but despite being open for bookings not a single flight operated as it was pulled before launched and no attempt has been made to restart it since (along with several other routes for that matter).

I can’t remember what the frequency of flights were supposed to be as I’m just trying to work out whether that’s an old page still lurking or something. I recall years ago MAN-DTW appearing on a route map, but nothing came of it.

All that said, I feel if VS are to launch a second Caribbean route ex-MAN, MBJ is the most likely.

Keeping a close watch on this one! Although we love the experience of flying from LHR with the fabulous lounge, the journey home to Cheshire after an overnight flight is never pleasant so MCR flights would be very welcome!
