Virgin Atlantic has announced a new weekly service between London Gatwick and Puerto Rico's San Juan airport for the 2009/2010 winter season.
Flights will operate once a week, on Saturdays, from November 7 2009 until April 24 2010, via Antigua.
Steve Ridgway, Chief Executive of Virgin Atlantic, said:
“We are delighted to be flying to Puerto Rico, popularly known as the Island of Enchantment, this winter. This colourful, diverse and culturally unique island is a welcome addition to our Caribbean programme. From the stunning beaches and tropical rainforests to the charming colonial city of San Juan, there is something for every holidaymaker.
“The launch of these services allows our sister company Virgin Holidays to offer a range of fantastic cruise holidays from the island, meaning that even more Virgin travellers can enjoy what this beautiful island has to offer.”
The scheduled flights will be operated on a Boeing 747-400 aircraft. Virgin Atlantic already flies to Barbados, Antigua, St Lucia, Grenada, Tobago, Havana and Jamaica in the Caribbean and 30 destinations worldwide from the UK.
