Flights to Africa
Our favourite destinations in Africa
Our flights to Africa get you within reach of epic mountain ranges, breathtaking coastline and some of the best places to view the 'big five' animals in their backyard. And of course, flying with Virgin Atlantic you’ll get all the little extras you’d expect from us.
On our Economy flights, you'll enjoy the latest movies on our in-flight entertainment, delicious meals, refreshments and friendly service throughout, ensuring you arrive relaxed and ready to begin your adventure. With the comfort of a Virgin Atlantic flight, Africa no longer feels so far away.
Treating yourself? We offer larger, wider seats in our separate Premium cabin. Or you can push the boat out and travel in our award-winning Upper Class Suite.
South Africa
Cape Town and Johannesburg are hubs for culture, museums and an emerging art scene. If it’s wildlife you’re looking for, there are few places better than South Africa to see some of the world’s most magnificent creatures. And close to the city is Pilanesberg National Park, home of the Big Five.
Nigeria
Our daily flights to Lagos bring you straight to the heart of this exuberant country. It can be an overwhelming destination for first-timers to Africa, but you'll find that the atmosphere is as welcoming to visitors as anywhere on the continent.
Ghana
Ghana's capital city Accra welcomes over a million tourists every year, either visiting friends or family or experiencing it for the very first time. It boasts a thriving community centred around the country’s rich story and culture, all of which is proudly displayed throughout Accra’s museums and historical sites.
