VIRGIN Atlantic launched their Black Friday sale earlier this week, with incredible deals across their network of long haul destinations.
And for those looking for a serious bargain, there will even be a chance to snap up a “£1 Golden Ticket”.
1
Virgin is releasing a new deal on flights every day until December 2.
It means that while your best chances of getting the cheapest flights you want are on the day they’re released – unlike Ryanair’s daily Black Friday deals – they’re bookable until next Monday.
When we checked, many of the cheapest prices are still available – just make sure you book them before someone else does.
And all of the deals lead up to Cyber Monday, when the airline will be releasing its £1 Golden Tickets.
Here’s what you need to know.
Day 5
Virgin will be releasing their Black Friday deal in a few hours so check back then to find out what they’re doing.
Day 4
Virgin only recently launched flights to Tel Aviv so it’s a bit easier to find deals – but flights to Johannesburg are always expensive.
But right now, the airline is offering £100 off flights to the South African city, with return fare from £519.
Day 3
It’s easy to get flights to the east coast of the US for less than £300 but it usually costs a fair bit more for the west coast.
But right now, Virgin has west coast flights to Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle and Las Vegas from just £279.
Day 2
If you’re thinking about heading off to Asia, now is your chance – with £50 off per flight.
Virgin flies to Hong Kong, Shanghai and Mumbai with return fares from £369 in the sale.
Day 1
Their sale kicked off on Monday with 20 per cent off flights to the Caribbean, with return fares starting from £428.
Dreamy destinations including Antigua, Barbados, Grenada, Jamaica, St Lucia and Tobago are all in the sale.

Cyber Monday
While Virgin has some great offers across its network during Black Friday, its upcoming Cyber Monday deal is perhaps the best one of the bunch.
Dubbed the “£1 Golden Ticket”, the airline is offering return economy flights to a number of destinations in its network for just £1 plus taxes, fees and charges.
It means you could literally travel to anywhere on their network for just a fraction of the price, and there are 90 Golden Tickets up for grabs.
Be aware though, since taxes for different destinations will vary, and the fare doesn’t include fees and charges, it won’t be a total steal.
The details are only released on December 2, so be sure to check back then.
