Little Red is painting the skies red across the UK. Virgin Atlantic’s new service has launched with the first flight between Manchester to Heathrow. There’s a four-times-a-day service with one-way fares from £59.25 including taxes.
A six-daily flight hop between Heathrow and Edinburgh begins on Friday April 5 and three-times-a-day service between Heathrow and Aberdeen from April 9.
Little Red offers free 23kg luggage check-ins, pre-assigned seats, complimentary snacks and drinks and even hot breakfasts on early morning flights. A series of exclusive brand partnerships have been lined up for passengers including specially created Tyrrells crisps – ‘Plane crisps’ made from miniature potatoes, a variety of exclusive miniature spirits from Bacardi Martini and Scotland’s favourite drink, Irn Bru.
Return flights to Edinburgh start from £107.97 and return flights from Edinburgh from £146.30.
It’s expected around one million passengers a year will be flown on Little Red.
