💨 Abstract

Virgin Atlantic will launch direct flights from London to Phuket, Thailand, starting October 18, 2026, with three weekly flights. This will significantly reduce travel time to approximately 13 hours and 10 minutes, compared to current multi-stop journeys. The flights will operate on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays from Heathrow, with return flights on Thursdays, Saturdays, and Mondays.
