The 'first flights' thing is just about publicity for BA and Virgin.
The reality, as any user of Flight Radar 24 and similar apps can see, is that flights too/from the US have run, albeit on reduced frequency, at most times in the pandemic.
Friend (somebody I was at school with) was posting on Facebook from NYC and then DC a couple of weeks ago. Some family connection - possibly her husband is American - seemed to have allowed her in.
