Flights to Grenada

I have booked with Virgin Holidays to Grenada next November & they say the departures are a Thursday & Monday via ANU.
Yet, Virgin Atlantic say the flights are Friday & Monday. Who is correct??? I need to book connecting flights and need to have the exact day. cheers

On a related note VS was supposed to resume flying to GND but the local government has prohibited flights from the UK so VS won’t be operating flights for now according to their website for January.

So the usual rules about leaving a lot of time between flights on separate itineraries apply, if you don't fancy buying new tickets. This is particularly relevant for the return flight from ANU. Partly because of this, I would not worry about these regional flights until shortly before your trip, say in September.

I am curious, however. If you booked a holiday with Virgin Holidays in Grenada, are the flights only to ANU but the hotel in Grenada?

Flights are from London to Grenada with a stop in Antigua. Virgin & BA do this all the time

Ah, I see. Same applies, leave plenty of time between flights and worry about this in 10 months’ time.

Can't you just ask the travel agent to book your flights from Glasgow? That way they'll be responsible if there's a change in the day or time of the flight?

Agree with others ... there's no way to be sure of anything next November. I'm sitting on a couple of trips that need connecting flights and I'll not touch them until at least 60 days out. Unless you can book fully-refundable, or no-charge changes ... then it might be worth the effort. But you'll have to watch the schedules like a hawk. Nobody knows nothin' about nothin' in travel these days.
