Looking for a remarkable deal on premium passage between a pair of its United States gateways and London Heathrow (LHR)? Virgin Atlantic is offering deep discount airfares for purchase that start at $1,116 one-way from New York Kennedy (JFK) or Newark (EWR). The tab out of Miami (MIA) to LHR is $1,390.

Good things such as this don’t last very long at all. You’ll have to purchase these special Upper Class tickets by Thursday, May 10. Then, depart July 1 through September 2. That encompasses much of the transatlantic “high season” so it’s not as if you have to delay gratification for very long.

Again, Virgin Atlantic’s Upper Class discount airfares are quoted one-way and a round-trip purchase is required. Neither taxes nor fees are included.

There are legions of lovely extras to be had up front: lie-flat beds built for comfort and privacy; extraordinary in-flight entertainment (a Virgin hallmark); wonderful food; and sublime service. Usually, you pay a decided premium for all this. For a short time, the fare is discounted. If you wanted to experience a taste of “life beyond the Upper Class curtain”, here’s your chance.

Remember, next Thursday (May 10) is the last day to book these discount airfares.
