Virgin’s daily Heathrow-Sao Paulo service, announced in March, will go on sale on Tuesday (10 September) with the first flight taking off on 29 March 2020.
The codeshare will allow Virgin passengers to connect seamlessly onto GOL flights serving 37 destinations across Brazil, including capital Brasilia, as well as Rio de Janeiro, Recife and Curitiba.
The new codeshare partners have pledged to extend the arrangement “in the near future” with the addition of flights to Argentina, Chile and Uruguay and a reciprocal frequent flyer programme.
