The London/New York route is one of the busiest in the world, or perhaps better said, it was before the pandemic. It is operated by many airlines, Virgin Atlantic is definitely one of the most interesting.
In this article:
Starting from the iconic lounge in London Heathrow Terminal 3 to Upper Class, which is one of the most sought-after and exclusive business cabins anywhere in the world. 747s abandoned, carrier founded by Sir Richard Branson has decided to go all in on Airbus A350s and Boeing 787/9s. Notoriously very, very expensive, with the average ticket on the intercontinental route hardly dropping below 2,000/2,500 euros. But it is now on offer at 1,200 departing from Paris.
The best bonuses
Our advice is to choose a route involving the newest flagship: the Airbus A350/1000, where you can find the most modern cabin in the entire fleet and thus experience "The loft."
Fare rules are very generous: it is required to book at least 30 days in advance, but this is not a problem since the borders are currently closed, so it would make little sense to book short. The minimum stay required is one Sunday.
As you can see, going to New York to witness the lighting of the Christmas tree while taking advantage of the Immaculate Conception bridge costs only €1,200. If a layover flight bothers you and you don't want to experience the incredible lounge in London, you can opt for a direct flight with Delta.
Cancellation policies are still extremely flexible and the savings are high, considering that a 100% flex ticket in the same class would otherwise cost over 5 thousand euros.
As is well known Virgin Atlantic does not participate in any Atlantic alliance, but has a strong partnership with Delta (which owns the company) and Air France. It is also possible to shift any miles to programs such as Singapore's Krisflyer or a few other companies.
If you are a member of the British Airways loyalty program, you can also take advantage of this flight to Participate in the recently launched status match offer.
