    The airline’s Airbus A350-1000 will operate on the route, with a configuration of 16 Upper Class, 56 Premium, and 325 Economy seats. The Upper Class cabin will feature «The Booth,» a social space that provides passengers with cocktails, wine tasting, and premium dining options, bringing Virgin Atlantic’s Clubhouse lounge experience onboard. All passengers will enjoy complimentary food, beverages, and over 300 hours of entertainment options, with WiFi available throughout the aircraft.

    «We’re thrilled to return to Cancun, offering customers a new destination for some winter sun,» said Juha Jarvinen, Chief Commercial Officer of Virgin Atlantic. «Cancun has a vibrant nightlife, sandy beaches, and is a gateway to the rich Mayan heritage of the region. This route enhances our connectivity to the Americas through partnerships with Aeromexico and LATAM, and we look forward to welcoming our customers aboard with Virgin Atlantic’s signature fiesta and flair.”

    Virgin Atlantic’s holiday arm, Virgin Atlantic Holidays, will offer packages with seven-night stays in Riviera Maya from £1,799 per person. The packages include all-inclusive accommodation at Dreams Aventuras, flights from London Heathrow, and a variety of excursion options to explore Mexico’s rich heritage, such as tours to Chichen Itza, Xcaret Park, and Tulum’s iconic Mayan ruins.

    The route, which will operate every Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday, strengthens Cancun International Airport’s position as one of the world’s busiest hubs for international travelers. Andres Martinez, Director of the Tourism Promotion Council of Quintana Roo, commented, «In this New Era of the Mexican Caribbean, expanding international connectivity is a priority. The new Virgin Atlantic flight from London Heathrow will strengthen our destination’s appeal and reinforce Cancun as a paradise for UK visitors.”
