Jamaica is celebrating the news of Virgin Atlantic’s increased flight frequency to the island. Beginning March 31 2024, the airline is expanding its flight offering from London Heathrow to Montego Bay, Jamaica, to seven times per week, all year round, with the low season addition of a Saturday and Sunday operation.
Hon. Edmund Bartlett, Jamaica’s Minister of Tourism, commended the move, stating, “We are delighted with Virgin Atlantic’s decision to increase its direct flights to Montego Bay. This expansion not only aligns with the growing demand for travel to Jamaica but also underscores the confidence in our destination as the most visited Caribbean Island from the UK”.
The added frequency will be operated on the advanced B787 Dreamliner. Departing London Heathrow at 08:00, the nonstop flights are scheduled to arrive at Montego Bay by midday.
The increased frequency translates to an extra 258 seats twice weekly.
“The additional nonstop flights from London to Montego Bay are a testament to the enduring appeal of Jamaica as a premier holiday destination. We look forward to welcoming more tourists to experience the rich cultural tapestry and natural wonders that our island has to offer,” says Donovan White, Jamaica’s Director of Tourism.
