VS to Houston?
 

I notice on the VS (UK) web site when booking a flight Houston is listed as a destination in the drop down list. I can't actually find a flight but I'm curious as to why it's in the list.

Does anyone know if VS plans to fly to Houston from London?

It's a codeshare with CO via Newark. :)

No plans for VS to fly there directly in the near future as far as I know.

I thought that as well - but I can't find an LHR/IAH or EWR/IAH flight that I can actually book.
The web site says "Sorry we couldn't find flights for those dates" using a good sample selection from today (31 Dec) to July 2012.

I've seen SQ at IAH but never VS so I thought maybe it was a codeshare with SQ but when I choose Houston as the "From" only LHR is available as the "To" so it seems reasonably to think that's the only routing.

I can't remember what date I put in but it came out with a whole bunch of flights for various date combinations. About £8000 in J. :eek:

SQ flies Singapore - Moscow - Houston and has traffic rights between Moscow & Houston - some relatives have used it a few times. I seem to remember the flight was daily but has been / will be cut back a couple of days either because of profitability or political issues in Russia, depending on who you ask.

affirm.

What was the reason they couldn't codeshare on one of the two daily CO non-stop IAH-LHR-IAH flights? I remember it being discussed and there was a reason they couldn't (political or treat or maybe BA protecting its double daily LHR-IAH flights?) I don't recall why.
