Virgin Atlantic was founded by lifelong innovator and challenger, Richard Branson. On 22nd June 1984, the first Virgin Atlantic flight took off from London Gatwick to New York Newark, and nearly 40 years later, being brilliantly different remains a core part of Virgin Atlantic’s DNA.

Virgin Atlantic provide frequent, direct flights between the UK and your favourite US cities and Caribbean getaways. And far-flung destinations across Asia and Africa are also a direct flight away, with daily services from the UK. And with their partner airlines, they can connect you with even more places around the globe.

At Virgin Atlantic they always go the extra mile to provide excellent service and offer their passengers that little bit more. Virgin Atlantic Flying Club is an effortless way to earn miles, then exchange them for rewards like flights, hotel stays, car rentals, experiences and much more.
