Virgin Atlantic is currently offering some excellent fares – particularly to the USA.

Options include:

• London Heathrow – New York JFK: £249 return

• London Heathrow – Miami: £264 return

• London Heathrow – San Francisco: £283 return

The cheapest dates appear to be available from January through to April (you might be able to find some for Autumn 2020 too), and you can usually save a few extra quid by booking through Momondo /SkyScanner /etc, rather than direct.

It looks like BA and its fellow oneworld carriers have matched the sale too on at least some of the routes, so if you’re chasing Tier Points, that is definitely worth checking too:

Conclusion

The fares to San Francisco are particularly impressive. ‘Economy Light’ means that you can’t check in a bag for free, but it does still include:

• Free 10kg hand luggage
• 300+ hours of TV and films
• Complimentary drinks and snacks
• A choice of tasty 3 course meals
• Inseat power for your device

Not bad at all!
