Virgin Atlantic Announce New Route

Virgin Atlantic Airways have confirmed they will be operating a daily flight from London Heathrow to Atlanta...

Delta Airlines, in partnership with Virgin Atlantic, currently operate three daily flights from London Heathrow to Atlanta. As of 26 October 2014 Virgin Atlantic will be operating one of these three flights.

The new services will provide a greater choice for travel between UK and North America. Both carriers will be expanding their award winning service and will codeshare on each other's operated services.

And that's not all....... In return, Delta will operate one of the two daily flights from London Heathrow to Los Angeles, currently operated by Virgin Atlantic. This new Delta Service will become the first nonstop flight between Los Angeles and London Heathrow for the Airline and will be their Seventh nonstop destination between London and the United States.

This development shows how the partnership, launched earlier this year, is increasing the network of both carriers. Virgin Atlantic will now have access to Delta's Atlanta Hub, the busiest airport in the world! They will be providing their customers with expansive and unprecedented access to connect to points throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean.

Virgin Atlantic will now be able to offer over 100 additional international and domestic connections to its customers. This brings the total number of onward connections available through this partnership to over 200.
