Virgin Atlantic returns to Saint Lucia
The airline first started flying to Saint Lucia in 1999.
Following an 18-month break, the service is back with three weekly direct flights from London Heathrow.

He remarked: “It was a thrill to see the red and white livery of Virgin flying in once again.
“We want to thank Virgin Atlantic for their commitment to Saint Lucia and the region and look forward to welcoming new and returning passengers over the winter season.”
