Virgin Atlantic is launching Bengaluru
Virgin Atlantic is launching flights to Bengaluru (Bangalore). As India’s IT capital, this is a natural addition to Virgin Atlantic’s existing routes to Delhi and Mumbai. Since 2019, Virgin’s Indian network has grown by 250%, with Bengaluru becoming the fourth daily service.
Here are the details:
Flights will launch on 31st March 2024, with a daily service all year round
Seats, for cash and Virgin Points, will be bookable from 14th June – do NOT try to book today
The route will use a Boeing 787-9, which again means you are getting the old-style Upper Class seat, unfortunately.
Virgin Atlantic has a codeshare with IndiGo which you can use to connect onto 34 domestic destinations on the same ticket, whilst earning additional Virgin Points and tier points.
Here are the flight timings:
VS316 departs Heathrow at 11:45am and arrives in Bengaluru at 2:15am the following day
VS317 departs Bengaluru at 4:05am and arrives in London at 10:15am the same day.
