I'm not going to lie... mentally I've already spent the extra hundred dollars I expect to find in my profit sharing check if Virgin Atlantic's massive expansion plans come to fruition.
Just to be clear this announcement by Virgin is a attempt to get the majority of slots if a 3rd runway is ever built at Heathrow. The earliest that might be is in 2026 and it’s doubtful it will ever be built. If it is built the route expansion plan does not include US destinations. They are specifically targeting IAG served destinations where there is no current competion.
