Virgin Atlantic expands services for Summer 2009

Virgin Atlantic will add additional Saturday flights from Manchester to Barbados between 02- May and 07-Nov-09, to add to its existing Sunday departures to the Caribbean island. The flights will be on an Airbus A340-300.

There will also be extra seats available between Manchester and Orlando with an additional Sunday departure between 26-Apr-09 and 08-Nov-09, using a Boeing 747-400 aircraft. With this extra Sunday service, Virgin Atlantic will fly 10 times a week between the two cities.

After the launch of its twice-weekly services between Gatwick and Montego Bay, the airline will now be adding a third weekly service, on Fridays, for the winter 2009 season between 13 Nov-09 and 19-Mar-10. Montego Bay has become a major destination for UK holidaymakers during the winter period, with its warm weather and modern, luxury hotels.

All these extra services will be put on sale over the next few days.

Virgin Atlantic's twice-weekly Heathrow-Mauritius service will resume for the winter season on 13-Nov-09, after stopping for the summer on 25-Apr-09.
