The special services will fly from London Heathrow on 7th and 8th January 2018, and return from Las Vegas on 12th and 13th January 2018.
The flights will be operated by the airline’s newestnaircraft, the Boeing 787-9, offering a larger Upper Class cabin than the existing London Gatwick service.
Richard Myerscough, senior vice president – sales & distribution at Virgin Atlantic, said: “The Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas is the world’s largest technology show, and what better way for people to travel than on Virgin Atlantic’s most technologically advanced aircraft – the 787 Dreamliner.
“We’re always looking for ways to make travel even easier for our customers, and ensure we have best combination of aircraft and airport to suit the destination or event.
