Virgin flight change?

Do Virgin only have the one flight back from MCO to LGW now, I'm sure we always flew back about half 8, but I'm only getting the option for 5.30?

The flights have been getting earlier and out of peak season they only release one flight at a time so it might be that depending on when you're looking.

When I was looking there were 2 flights for the return on 09th sept, 20.30 and 17.35, the 20.30 vaniished last week which was VS16..

Our return to LGW next Feb from MCO is around 2000 or thereabouts. Was earlier at 1740 odd but now later and similar to when we returned in 2018

When did you book, is it part of package?

With Virgin September has always been the time when circa 8 or 10 days into the Month they drop to 1 aircraft. It can vary between the VS27 or VS15 going out and the VS28 and VS16 coming back.

We like VS15 out and VS28 back and invariably get that.

The demand just isn't there mid Sept on to warrant a 2nd aircraft on the LGW route. Next year we fly home on the 19th Sept and it's only the VS28 which suits us fine.
A 17.35 departure.

We booked package for September 2020 back in July. On the booking we�ve had it stated flight VS16 19:50, however when I was able to pre book our seats with virgin Atlantic, we are down for VS28 at 17:35. I was going to query it, but 3 days later Virgin Holidays sent a revised itinerary with the adjusted time. I suppose booking so early, Virgin holidays are only guessing when the flights will be until 330 days out when Atlantic release them. Could be a bit of a nuisance, cos I�ve already booked Valet parking at Gatwick for a good price and told them I wouldn�t be picking the car up til 9.30. Hope they�ve got it at the pick up point, otherwise it means hanging around for 2 hours after we�ve landed. I can�t move the pick up time, cos they have to scrap the original booking and make another one, I paid �67 for 15 Nights, they now want �135!
