VS/DL/TP - London-JFK - 663 GBP / $825 r/t - Business

Virgin Atlantic ticketed flights operated by TAP Air Portugal and Delta from London Gatwick (LGW) to New York (JFK) with a connection in Lisbon (LIS) - 663 GBP roundtrip in business. It looks like the carrier imposed fees might be missing, but not really sure why it's so cheap. Available January 8, 2024 to March 17, 2024 and the cheapest departure dates appear to be Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays.

EDIT - Works from LHR too, for an extra 5 GBP. See Post #2

You will likely have to use an OTA to book this and pay in GBP. You can either search multi-city flights on Expedia and book there, or you can use Momondo or Skyscanner to search and click through to an OTA. You must ticket your flight by May 30, 2023.

Looks like it works from LHR too, for an extra 5 GBP, and you can get flights operated by British Airways instead of TAP Air Portugal from London to Lisbon.

This is valid from all UK to most US destinations though west coast is more expensive. Add any EU connection you can with non-skyteam airlines for additional discount (cough cough).

Could you add some examples? I am finding other US cities around 2000 GBP only, which is not not slightly more. Thanks

I can only find flights to NYC with stop in LIS, nothing to LAX, SFO or SEA. Any hints of advanced routing codes? Maybe I'm missing something or have to change stop in Europe. Tried a few and no results except LIS and flights to NYC.

Depends on how soon it dies. If it's soon, they'll stick I bet.
