After the rather dull route announcement yesterday from BA, there’s some great news for leisure travellers as Virgin Atlantic announced that in 2023 it will begin flying to the idyllic islands of the Maldives as well as Turks & Caicos.
The Maldives is definitely a paradise destination with some stunning hotels, ideal for a special occasion or romantic holiday. There’s world-class diving, surfing, fishing, kayaking and over 1,000 coral islands to enjoy.

Elsewhere, the stunning islands of the Turks & Caicos offer some of the most pristine white sand beaches, surrounded by the world’s clearest turquoise waters. Boasting an expansive barrier reef, home to vibrant coral, dolphins, turtles, stingrays and more, the islands make for an ideal base for snorkelling and diving.

This new destination is the latest addition to Virgin’s Caribbean portfolio, which follows new flying to the Bahamas in December 2021, St Vincent and the Grenadines in October 2021 and their return to St Lucia.
Virgin Atlantic will launch a winter seasonal three-times weekly service to the Maldives from London Heathrow, which will go on sale on 30th November 2022, before commencing on 22nd October 2023.
The airline will also launch a year-round twice weekly service to the Turks & Caicos, which will go on sale from 11th January 2023, for flights starting on 15th November 2023 from London Heathrow.
Both routes will be operated on the airline’s Boeing 787-9 aircraft boasting 31 Upper Class, 35 Premium and 192 Economy Delight, Classic and Light seats. Flight prices will be announced at a later date.
