Due to evolving customer demand, Virgin Atlantic is making some changes to their Summer 2027 flying programme. 

Virgin Atlantic is pleased to announce a significant increase in flight frequencies from Manchester Airport for the summer 2027 season, with more departures than ever before and increased flying to New York, Atlanta and Orlando.  The expanded flying programme will give customers across the North of England more choice when planning their next trip. 

New York JFK: Increasing from daily to 10 flights per week from April to October 2027. 
Orlando: Up to 19 flights per week during July and August 2027. 
Atlanta: Increasing from daily to 11 flights per week between 5 June and 16 July, with larger A350 operating throughout summer. 

Elsewhere on Virgin Atlantic’s Network they're making some temporary adjustments to Heathrow services to San Francisco and Mumbai, reducing frequencies from twice daily to around 10-11 per week for Summer 2027. Virgin Atlantic will be operating larger A350 aircraft on daily services to both destinations to help minimise the impact on overall capacity.
 
Virgin Atlantic is also adding some extra flying to Montego Bay, increasing from four to up to six services per week next summer. 

Unfortunately, Virgin Atlantic have taken the difficult decision to suspend seasonal service between Manchester and Las Vegas, which will not return for Summer 2027.  Customers can continue to reach Las Vegas from Manchester by flying with Virgin Atlantic to New York JFK or Atlanta and connecting onwards with Delta Air Lines, or travel on Virgin Atlantic’s direct daily service from London Heathrow.  
 
Virgin Atlantic is very sorry for the disappointment caused to their customers. For further details on the rebooking options for Manchester to Las Vegas, please visit Partner Hub for the latest information. If, however a refund is preferred, you can request this immediately, referring to the refund guidelines in the schedule change policy. 

Virgin Atlantic’s schedule and any affected bookings will be updated in the GDSs on Saturday 14 November 2026.
