Richard Branson has announced that Virgin Atlantic will be starting flights to Las Vegas from Manchester. Good news for everyone in the North West who enjoys visiting the city.

FLIGHTS on Virgin Atlantic from Manchester to Las Vegas are set to start next April when Virgin Atlantic starts a twice-weekly service, using Boeing 747 jumbo jets.
Virgin already goes to Las Vegas London Gatwick Airport. This new service will be alot more convenient for passengers from the north-west.

Virgin's CEOe Steve Ridgway said: "The decision to expand our Manchester flying programme underlines our commitment to flying to long-haul destinations from regional airports in the UK and these Manchester flights will be a great addition to our current services."

The route was previously operated by bmi, but they gave up the route when they moved their long-haul routes to Heathrow.
