The sun may be setting on summer 2025, but that doesn’t mean the fun has to stop any time soon. Not if Virgin Atlantic has anything to say about it, anyway. The airline has launched its famous September Sale, offering huge savings on flights and holiday bookings until September 30.
Now’s the time to lock down next year’s summer holidays (there are travel offers until June 30, 2026), or if you’re looking for a way to brighten up the cold season ahead, catch a piece of winter sun in, say, the Caribbean or Indian Ocean. Because honestly, why shiver in the cold when you can sunbathe, cocktail in hand, on a lounger?
Up for a little Stateside glitz? From sea to shining sea (and a fair few stops in between), Virgin Atlantic has put the biggest and boldest USA destinations in its sale, from city breaks to coastal hot spots. Take in the Big Apple’s legendary Halloween parade, test your mettle on Orlando’s rollercoasters, or seek out Lady Luck on the Las Vegas strip.
Excitingly, from October 19, Virgin Atlantic will begin running direct routes to Cancun, Mexico. It means the promise of sun, sea and endless tacos is just a few clicks away.
Imagining a different sort of adventure? Picture ringing in the New Year with a flute of South African sparkling, against the backdrop of Cape Town’s Table Mountain. January blues won’t trouble you when you’re standing in Dubai’s blazing sun, whether you wish to shop in its souks or spend your nights counting stars in the desert sky. And if it’s luxury on your vacay wishlist, where better than an overwater villa above the Maldives’ hypnotic waters? With departures from London and Manchester airports, Virgin makes getting to your dream destination a breeze.
Itching for your passport? Us too. With Virgin Atlantic Holiday deals starting at just £629pp, you might end up booking more than one. Plus, if you book by September 8, you can get an extra £75 off three- to five-night stays in the US, on top of Virgin’s sale prices.
Naturally, all Virgin Atlantic Holidays are ATOL protected, and you can pay by direct debit or with Virgin Points, which, some readers may not realise, you can convert from Tesco Clubcard points. So your weekly shop or lunchtime meal deal could get you even closer to the sweet escape you’ve been dreaming of.
