Virgin Atlantic Expands 2016 Leisure Flying

Virgin Atlantic will be adding flights by 2016. According to Gia Acitelli, Regional General Manager of Virgin Atlantic Airways, they are set to add three extra services by late July 2016 and throughout August 2016. These services will be three weekly flights from Gatwick to Orlando, operating on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

'We're delighted to be offering our customers more choice when flying to some of their favourite destinations. Florida and Las Vegas have been enduringly popular with our customers, and Havana is also consistently seeing incredibly high demand, so it makes perfect sense to increase services during the most popular months,' Acitelli says.

The complete details for the flight changes and schedules are as follows as published by ETB Travel News:

The addition of a weekly service to Havana during summer 2016

Capitalising on strong demand for this Caribbean favourite, Virgin Atlantic will add a third weekly service from London Gatwick to Havana from November 2016 to March 2017 with the extra service taking place on Saturdays.

Extending the seasonal Glasgow to Orlando service to November 2016 & March 2017

Customers in Scotland will now have even more choice when flying to the Sunshine State, with the current seasonal services to Orlando being extended so that a weekly service is available until the end of November 2016 and from the start of March 2017.

Extending the seasonal Manchester to Las Vegas service to November 2016 & March 2017

Offering more opportunities for customers in Manchester to visit Sin City, with the current seasonal service to Las Vegas to continue to the end of November 2016 with two services per week, and to re-start a weekly service from the beginning of March 2017, with a second service added in April as normal.

Increase frequency from London Gatwick to Las Vegas from seven to nine flights per week
