Virgin to start seasonal flight to Washington Dulles

Washington Dulles International Airport will be welcoming another Virgin Atlantic flight this year, a seasonal route beginning from April 20th and lasting until October. Virgin Atlantic already ahs a year-round service to Washington Dulles form London Heathrow, with the second flight adding convenience for travellers making the journey between the US and UK capitals.

Over two million passengers have made the trans Atlantic jaunt since the route came into operation in 1996, and the addition of a seasonal second route only shows the attraction of it. Chief executive of Virgin Atlantic Steve Ridgeway says, “Virgin Atlantic is pleased to announce this additional service offering our passengers more choice and flexibility to Washington this summer. DC is much more than the home of the US government, it is a very colourful city, offering great hotels, restaurants and shopping for those travelling on business or leisure.

This new service gives Virgin Atlantic passengers the best possible choice in flight times. They can choose the existing morning departure from Heathrow to Washington, or wait until the late afternoon to leave London. On the return, the late evening departure from Washington will suit the those who wish to have dinner in the Capital before heading back on an overnight flight to London.”
