Virgin Atlantic continues its transatlantic expansion with a new direct route from London Heathrow to Tampa, launching November 3, 2022.
The new year-round Florida service will initially fly four times a week before increasing to daily from November 28, complementing the airline’s up to four daily flying to Orlando and double daily flying to Miami. This latest addition follows the airline’s launch of direct flights between London and Austin, Texas in May 2022.
Meanwhile, Virgin Atlantic has revealed its hotly anticipated Airbus A330neo for the first time, boasting a new Upper Class seat, social space and the unveiling of The Retreat Suite - which consists of two exclusive suites at the front of the cabin.
Corneel Koster, Chief Customer and Operating Officer at Virgin Atlantic, commented: “The A330neo plays a significant role in our multi billion dollar fleet transformation, demonstrating our commitment to the planet. We know the most impactful thing we can do as an airline is to fly the cleanest, greenest, youngest fleet possible and the A330neo is integral to achieving this goal. It’s truly a plane for the future.”
