If Las Vegas didn't work from GLA and the fact that VS are transferring LAS from LGW to LHR in March 2019 similarly I can't see VS offering any one offs from BFS to LAS either in my opinion.
The best outcome is an extended service to Orlando and maybe and I mean a big maybe looking further ahead with the DL/VS JV a New York connection could be a possibility.

With VS discontinuing CAN from LGW I can't see them offering a couple of one offs to Cancun, they don't even offer the destination from MAN.

TCX departure today to Cancun. I would say for marketing purposes an aerial shot of the airport this morning when the Virgin 747 parks, would be quite impressive from a Belfast point of view.

BFS BHD
As far as I am aware November was always four weekly with six weekly at busier times of the year
Looking at May caa stats there was a 62% increase in pax numbers on CDG so maybe there could be an increase in frequency still to come. I think with the sixth aircraft based at BFS there are still a number of flights to be announced for winter 18/19

US carriers don't seem to be keen on tag-ons, at least internationally.
The big missed opportunity at Belfast was Ethiopian; that would have given both US and African connections, and they don't benefit from pre-clearance at Dublin because of the timing of their flights. Likewise Kuwaiti through Shannon; that'd be worth poaching.
