Virgin sets Dubai return and reveals Manchester-Vegas route

The carrier will operate four times a week from London to Dubai, with flights launching on 28 October and going on sale next week from £505pp return.

Meanwhile, Virgin’s new Las Vegas service will operate on using an Airbus A350-1000 with 16 Upper Class, 56 premium, and 325 economy seats and will offer its new Upper Class social space, The Booth. 

Fares to Las Vegas from Manchester start from £770pp.

Virgin has also launched new inter-island flying in the Caribbean. From 14 June, the carrier says it will be the only UK airline offering hops from Barbados to Grenada or St Vincent and the Grenadines.

Virgin will increase flights to St Vincent and the Grenadines, which operated three-times-weekly this winter, and up its number of seats to Saint Lucia by 33% on 2022.
