Virgin Atlantic, one of the world’s leading long haul airlines, is offering its customers a special birthday present every week until its 25th birthday on 22 June 2009. This week it is an amazing offer to Johannesburg, South Africa with a special offer of £418 for a return flight in Economy and £799 for a return flight in Premium Economy (both prices include taxes and charges).

Virgin Atlantic operates a daily service from Heathrow to this dynamic and cosmopolitan city where you can visit great places such as the Old Fort & Constitution Hill, or why not include a day trip to Soweto, the township whose name became synonymous with anti-apartheid resistance.
