VIRGIN ATLANTIC AIRWAYS gamble with Las Vegas has really come off. The airline is increasing the service, which was inaugurated on 8 June 2000, to six flights per week (every day except Saturday), from 9 September. A specially kitted out Boeing 747 is used for the 10 hour 45 minute flight with only 14 seats in Upper Class, 58 Premium Economy and 379 economy. The only other direct routing from the UK is bmi”s twice weekly (Tuesday and Sunday) operation, which is about 45 minutes shorter and uses the Airbus A330.
