Virgin Atlantic’s seasonal LHR-CPT service commenced on October 28 and will run until the end of March next year. This adds more than 80 000 seats between Cape Town and London, with daily flights between the two cities on VS 479 CPT-LHR and VS 478 LHR-CPT. 

 “I am delighted for the return of the 2023/2024 season of this well-loved route between Cape Town and London,” commented Marc Harding, Country Manager for South Africa at Virgin Atlantic.  

Passengers will fly on Virgin Atlantic’s most fuel-efficient aircraft, the Boeing 787-9, with a choice of Upper Class, Premium and Economy Light, Classic and Delight cabins. The airline’s Boeing 787-9s are all equipped with WiFi, ensuring passengers stay connected.  

“This service will make it even easier for our customers to travel for business and leisure between South Africa and the United Kingdom, as well as providing seamless connections via Heathrow to Europe and North America. The service will also create additional cargo capacity, transporting essential goods between South Africa and the UK and beyond,” said Harding.
