The seasonal route will run until late March.
Virgin Atlantic has announced a new long-haul route from London Heathrow to Phuket, marking a first for LHR to this Thai destination. The service connects a major European hub with a popular leisure gateway.
The route is described as seasonal, with operations planned to run until late March. This indicates a winter-season schedule aimed at travelers seeking sun during the colder months.
Phuket International Airport will be the destination for this inaugural Heathrow service, representing Virgin Atlantic’s entry to Phuket from London. The route targets leisure travelers looking for extended winter sun in Thailand.
This development follows a period of anticipation, with the service launching after nearly a year of waiting. The announcement emphasizes the significance of Phuket as a winter leisure destination and Virgin Atlantic’s expansion from Heathrow.
