Well, 40 years ago, Virgin Atlantic took to the air. And nothing says a Ruby Anniversary than a damn good sale.

Forty years ago, Virgin Atlantic was founded to shake up the airline industry, by offering customers choice and unique, personal experiences. The airline carried its first customers between London and New York offering something exciting and different and has continued to change the game ever since.

The cost of Virgin Atlantic’s first-ever flight was just £99, so to mark its Ruby anniversary, the airline is offering up to £99 off Economy Classic & Delight return flights departing the UK.
If you’re looking to book into the Premium cabin, you can take advantage of £199 off, whilst those looking for luxury in Upper Class can slice £299 off the price.
You’ll need a magic code – so use the code code ‘FORTY’ before completing your booking to get those juicy discounts at https://www.virginatlantic.com/.
Virgin Atlantic Holidays is also joining in the fun, with savings of up to £200 available on holidays or flight & hotel packages on all destinations when departing from the UK. This offer will give customers a £25 per person automatic saving, plus by using the promo code ‘BIRTHDAY’, customers will receive an additional £100 when spending a minimum of £3000.
You’ll need to get your skates on…
The offer is valid on departures from 24th June 2024 to 31st December 2024, and of course – subject to availability, terms and conditions.
This offer runs from first thing Friday morning (00:01, 21st June) to Monday 24th June at 23:59.
Happy birthday Virgin Atlantic.
