Virgin Atlantic®
Delta and Virgin Atlantic give you access to more benefits and a seamless travel experience from beginning to end when flying between the U.S. and the United Kingdom.
We are committed to your safety and that of our employees so we have raised our standards at every point of your travel journey by implementing measures to keep you safe and give you more peace of mind. Delta and Virgin are currently operating from Terminal 2 at London-Heathrow (LHR), meaning simpler departures, transfers and arrivals.
Since travel looks a little different now, we're here to help you prepare for your trip, so you know what to expect on your next flight. Our trusted partner Virgin Atlantic has taken similar steps, though their policies may vary.
