Soar into the heartbeat of the world with Virgin Atlantic's splendid array of flights to New York City. With weekly options from London Heathrow, Manchester, and Edinburgh flying to New York JFK becomes a breeze, particularly alongside Virgin Atlantic’s esteemed joint venture partners Delta Air Lines.
What to do while you’re there
Whether it’s set to be your first time or your hundredth visit, nothing beats the thrill of the Big Apple. The iconic yellow taxis dash between monuments like the Statue of Liberty and the towering Chrysler Building, while the emerald expanse of Central Park breathes life into this urban marvel. Every corner of this illustrious cityscape is an invitation to explore and rediscover, ensuring the magic of New York City is an endless delight.
And there are more reasons than ever to visit New York. Take one of the whale-watching boats direct from Manhattan to witness these majestic creatures from a safe distance, wander around Little Island Park on the Hudson River in the Meatpacking District, and indulge in a whole array of alfresco dining spots. Not forgetting the world-class attractions, brilliant shopping, and the spirited locals with their infectious appetite for life.
Getting there in style
Virgin Atlantic is a brilliant choice for those heading to New York in 2024, with fantastic offerings across all of its cabin classes. Each includes in-seat power and access to hand-picked films, music, and TV shows.
Upper Class is obviously a fabulous choice for a truly special experience, with a dedicated check-in, fast-track boarding, private security, and an extra-large leather seat that transforms into a fully flat bed. You also get a glass of bubbly when you board and delicious four-course fine-dining is standard, with pre-ordering available.
But the luxury begins prior to that. Virgin Atlantic believe that everyone’s holiday should start from the moment that you check in. That’s why they offer loads of gorgeous little touches that mean your trip will be all the more special.
Imagine this, you’ve dropped off your bags, you’ve perused duty free, and now it’s time to settle in ahead of take-off. And where better to put your feet up than Virgin Atlantic’s Clubhouse which is available to Upper Class passengers. You’ll feel like you’ve arrived before you’ve even taken off, with delicious dining options at the brasserie and a QR code to order champagne direct to your table.
The Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse and Revivals Lounge at Heathrow is in Virgin’s dedicated Upper Class Wing and is more like a five-star hotel than an airport lounge. It even has its own signature cocktail, the Virgin Redhead.
As well as freshly cooked food from breakfast through to lunch and dinner, you can check out the deli bar with its fresh salads, freshly baked pastries, and more. The Heathrow Clubhouse also has a Retreat, with beautifully designed relaxation areas where you can enjoy some quiet time before you fly. On the flip side, get in a quick workout before your flight, courtesy of the new Peloton bikes with their fabulous runway views and showers for freshening up afterwards. And if you’re feeling really fancy, what about high tea, high up in the clouds?
Next up is Premium, also with dedicated check-in as well as large leather seats with additional legroom. Guests will enjoy a glass of bubbly on boarding, can pre-order from the premium menu, and take advantage of premium check-in and priority boarding.
Economy is separated into Economy Light, Economy Classic, and Economy Delight – the latter a fantastic choice for its extra three inches of legroom, location towards the front of the cabin, and premium check-in. All Economy seats come with a three-course meal with wine, spirits, beer, or soft drinks. These are just a few of the many special touches that make flying with Virgin Atlantic so special - from their brilliant service to the food, the entertainment, the planes, the clubhouse, and the crew.
