Virgin Atlantic Resumes Flights To Dubai

British carrier Virgin Atlantic has restarted flights from London, UK, to Dubai, UAE. The first flight for this winter season flew from London’s Heathrow Airport (LHR) on October 30, 2023, and landed at the Dubai International Airport (DXB). This seasonal four-times-a-week service until March 2024 will be operated on a Boeing 787-9 aircraft, featuring 31 Upper Class seats, 35 Premium and 192 Economy Delight, Classic and Light seats. Apart from that, each flight will offer 20 tonnes of cargo capacity. This should be handy for companies looking for a quick turnaround time for exporting or importing goods.

The scheduled departure time for flight VS400 is 18:30, while the expected landing time is 05:30 the next day. The return leg - VS401 - leaves DXB at 13:45 and lands LHR at 17:50 (all times mentioned are local). The return Economy fares start at AED 2,533.

Virgin Atlantic confirms that this particular service between London and Dubai will be ramped up to a daily service in winter 2024 (October 2024 – March 2025).
