Virgin Atlantic joins the fare sale party (so do AA… and Star at last)

17/08/2012 by Kevincm

It seems sale season is in full swing with Virgin Atlantic joining the party. Like the British Airways sale, the main sale runs to the 25th September, with availability limited on various routes.

There is also availability in Upper Class cabin on some routes – with different end dates to the Upper Class sale. I’ve noted them down for you in the notes section after each area destination.

Prices are pretty much parity with other carriers. Not stellar value, but better than last year when prices were awful. Again, if you can use the fares, now is the time to book!


EDIT: As I was about to hit publish, American Airlines are also joining the party.

Those of you looking to Star Alliance, there appears to be sale availability at last on London <> USA routes, discounting about £40-£50 depending on carrier and where you change in North America, with United now matching on direct routes it seems.
