Virgin Atlantic will commence HKT-LHR flights 3x weekly from 18 October 2026. A seasonal route running during the northern winter period.
A bit of a way off yet, but what's interesting about this is that it's a Velocity partner airline. In theory, assuming VS releases seats, you might be able to book Premium Economy or Business ("Upper Class") seats using Velocity points.
Combined with a cheap Jetstar Business ticket from SYD or MEL to HKT and a Thailand stopover, this probably wouldn't be a terrible way to get to London.
