Virgin Atlantic reinstates full US network for first time since Covid

Virgin Atlantic will be returning to its full US destinations next month, for the first time since the beginning of the Pandemic.

On March 2, the carrier will restart five weekly services from London to Seattle and the same number of weekly services from Washington DC.

It reported bookings were 50% higher than a year ago as it confirmed capacity to New York, San Francisco and Atlanta would increase in March.

Virgin Atlantic said it will offer more flights from the UK to Los Angeles and Florida than any other airline from April when it adds a third daily service from London to Los Angeles.

Virgin Atlantic will operate a new US route to Austin, Texas four times a week from May 25.

Following the relaxation of travel restrictions, we have seen demand increase to many of our global destinations, but particularly to our heartland in the USA. Customers can wait to come back.

The restart of our Seattle and Washington DC services marks an important milestone as we move into recovery and welcome our customers back on board to all the destinations they have missed.

We are the airline of choice to the USA because of our growing portfolio of trans-Atlantic flights.

Delta and Virgin Atlantic will offer onward connections on their flights.

The airline has an unlimited free date and flight change policy.
