10 YEARS OF VIRGIN ATLANTIC FLIGHTS TO SHANGHAI

Virgin Atlantic has been operating flights to Shanghai for 10 years. The inaugural flight in May 1999 marked Virgin Atlantic’s victory over British Airways to win the rights to fly to Shanghai.

Shanghai makes an intense city break, from the colonial Bund to the ultra-modern Pudong district it will amaze in a way no other city on the planet can. The ultimate shopping trip experience is only a Virgin Atlantic flight to Shanghai away, from the malls along Nanjing Lu to the old world markets, there’s always a bargain to be found.

The Virgin Atlantic VS 250 departs from London Heathrow around lunchtime arriving in Shanghai the next morning, giving you the whole day to explore the city. The VS251 departs Shanghai in the morning and arrives back in the UK in the afternoon on the same day.

Each week we'll be telling you about a magic Virgin Atlantic moment from our 25 years in the skies. If you have a story to tell about how Virgin Atlantic has changed your life for the better and you don't mind us sharing it with everyone else on this website, let us know.
