Virgin Atlantic has added a new route from Heathrow to Seoul for March 2026.

Tickets for the new route will go on sale on 14 May 2025, with the daily flights launching on 29 March next year.

Virgin Atlantic confirmed the new route as it began operating services to Riyadh in Saudi Arabia.

Chief Commercial Officer Juha Jarvinen said: “Whilst Virgin Atlantic has long been known as the carrier of choice across the Atlantic and transatlantic travel remains core to our business, we are incredibly excited to expand our network in the east with the announcement of new services to Seoul starting in March 2026.

“Building on new flying to Riyadh in Saudi Arabia, five flights a day to India, as well as our seasonal leisure services to The Maldives and Dubai, we’re delighted to offer customers the opportunity to fly in style to a wide range of destinations.

“Providing seamless connections to our customers is a real focus and by leveraging the power of our commercial cooperation with Korean Air, Saudia, IndiGo and Riyadh Air, customers can trust Virgin Atlantic to connect them to where they need to be, enjoying a premium customer experience, delivered by our amazing crew.”
