Virgin Atlantic has launched a codeshare deal to and around Mexico, in association with Aeromexico.
This is what it means to you:
You can book flights between Heathrow and Mexico City on virginatlantic.com – these will be Aeromexico flights carrying a VS flight number
You can fly beyond Mexico City to other domestic destinations on Aeromexico flights carrying a VS flight number
There will also be options to route via the United States.
There is no news yet on whether you will earn Virgin Flying Club miles and tier points on these flights, although it would be very surprising if you couldn’t. Redemptions are also likely to be available.
Details of the Aeromexico codeshare are on this page of the Virgin Atlantic website. As Aeromexico flights depart from Terminal 4, you won’t have the opportunity to visit the Virgin Clubhouse lounge in Terminal 3.
