Virgin Atlantic return flights from Manchester or London Heathrow to New York or Los Angeles sit in the full service airline bracket, competing with the likes of British Airways and American Airlines on these busy transatlantic routes. For many travellers, the draw is getting a major carrier experience while keeping baggage simple, with a 10kg hand luggage allowance that suits short breaks and light packers.

Who will this suit best?

If you can travel with cabin baggage only, this kind of fare can work well for city stays, work trips, or anyone who wants to avoid the time and cost of checked bags. Flying from Heathrow also tends to mean more departure times, while Manchester can be convenient if you want to skip a London transfer.
