I believe someone posted this several weeks ago and there was much shock and annoyance from disers at the time.

Normally only in September and sometimes the start of October depending on loads. Waste of time flying two half filled aircraft

Yes it just adds to the costs plus it means they can get maintainence done easier I guess with the extra aircraft 'floating around' as such.

You will be fine on the Vegas flight, it is just the Orlando routes they are cutting down to one service a day on a few days of the week.

I think Virgin has done this for the last two years.

Yes, I think they wait to see what the forward forecasts are from the travel agents and their own direct sales.

I'm going on 1st October so I hope they don't make any more changes!

Would this be why Virgin Atlantic have hiked their prices for September. A few weeks ago, return flights departing 1st Sept were £450ish - They are now £680 Does anyone knowif they are likley to return to a more reasonable price?

No VA had a sale on which included most September to early December dates, we actually booked October, but now that offer has ended. The current offer is for early summer but no doubt once that is nearing its end another offer for dates later in the year will be out.
