However, the airline has just postponed its UK flights to the US by over a month.
Virgin Atlantic flights were originally set to resume its Orlando flight route on July 20th, but it’s now being delayed. The route is now being rescheduled for an August 24th reopening, but is still subject to change pending the CDC’s approval.

According to Yahoo! News, the CDC is restricting which airports can receive international flights, and currently, Orlando’s International Airport isn’t on the list of the 15 U.S. airports that are approved. We’ll keep you updated with any future developments regarding when flights will resume.

Sadly have had my whole holiday cancelled as Virgin Atlantic are not resuming their flights to Orlando from Glasgow until next year and Disney hotel is not opening until October.
Hardly surprising at the CDC have not approved MCO for international arrivals. Florida is under enough pressure keeping infection rates of Covid19 down.
Jill, that must be so disappointing.
Anything to do with Virgin Holidays or Virgin Atlantic seems to be a total mess at the moment.
We’ve postponed our September trip to 2021 instead as things are not looking good at the moment. Too many restrictions (which are understandable given the situation) that does not make the cost of the holiday worthwhile.
Just been informed our year long wait to Florida and Disney on August been cancelled, kids are absolutely in pieces. Best to keep safe though
