The airline is due to start flights from Heathrow next March but is currently only selling those of SkyTeam partner Korean Air on its website, having initially posted Virgin fares in May.

A Virgin Atlantic spokesperson said: “Whilst tickets were on sale initially, the on-sale date has been delayed due to required South Korean permit approvals. We look forward to reopening sales in due course.”
