Virgin Atlantic will start flights to San Juan in Puerto Rico from London Gatwick this winter.
The weekly flights, which will operate via Antigua, take off on November 7.
There are currently no other airlines offering direct flights to Puerto Rico from the UK.
Puerto Rico will complement the airline’s strong presence in the Caribbean with existing flights to Barbados, Antigua, St Lucia, Grenada, Tobago, Havana and Jamaica.
Virgin Atlantic’s chief executive, Steve Ridgway, said: “We are delighted to be flying to Puerto Rico this winter. This colourful, diverse and culturally unique island is a welcome addition to our Caribbean programme. From the stunning beaches and tropical rainforests to the charming colonial city of San Juan, there is something for every holidaymaker.
“The launch of these services allows our sister company Virgin Holidays to offer a range of fantastic cruise holidays from the island, meaning that even more Virgin travellers can enjoy what this beautiful island has to offer.”
The new Puerto Rico flights will operate every Saturday throughout the winter season, with the outbound service leaving at 9.25am and return flights leaving San Juan at 6.35pm (5.35pm from April 3 to April 24).
