However......if you take a trip over to Virgin Holidays and do a dummy booking the flight schedules are starting to appear, albeit from LHR at first. I imagine they are still updating the schedules for Virgin Holidays so I'd suggest giving it a few more days, try a dummy booking on the VH website and hopefully you will get an idea of the schedules. Its what I'm currently doing...

You will find a similar issue if trying to book on the BA website. Today you could only book a flight to say Orlando for the 7th May at the latest. This is normal, it’s nearly a year away!
It's notable that the banks behind the credit card schemes and their Merchant Card Processers, the financial intermediaries who decide what proportion of card payments are or are not forwarded to the company before the service is provided (up to 100%), in case there is a credit card Chargeback, are the SAME banks who are now making loans to cover cash flow shortfalls, but at significant interest rates and secured, to the same airlines ...

No flights available to book on the Virgin Atlantic website for summer 2021. Sadly this announcement appeared to be some positive news by management exercise on a particular day which you can't blame them for given that the whole existence of Virgin Atlantic is on a knife edge. The venture capitalists/hedge funds that are lining up as potential investors are absolutely horrid setups like vultures flying overhead dying prey. They really need to get Branson to sell his Virgin Galactic stake asap (maybe he has but I see contradicting reports) and get to this magic 750 million mark to see if the chancellor will help out. The market is worsening with the 14 day quarantine policy and accelerating the prospect of this airline (and others) going bust, what a sad set of circumstances it is. Let's hope they can pull themselves out of this unfolding disaster.
Virgin Atlantic, like BA, only release their flights on a rolling 11 months. However, if you book a holiday with Virgin Holidays the flight will be included even if it is not available via the airline website. You just won't get an airline reference locator until the flights are on general sale, and this hasn't changed.

South Africa also has a 14 day home quarantine period. If you can't home quarantine then you go to a government facility. We are at stage four, very limited movement or businesses open and still not possible to purchase or move alcohol or purchase tobacco.

My point was not quarantine procedures now or during the lockdown period, in the UK or anywhere else......but in a future unlocked state, where tourism and life will be getting back to normal. A 14 day isolation quarantine is sensible during lockdown, unworkable in a’normal’ aviation reliant tourist industry. So for any country to have such a measure, while everywhere else does not, is never going to happen.
During the lockdown period over the last xyz number of days, there may have been a quarantine periods in HK, SA etc but this was nowhere near a normal, unlocked, get back to work world.

Looks like they're deferring A350 deliveries. At least the management are finally taking some serious measures to try and keep Virgin Atlantic afloat whilst investment is being sought.
