The Personal Shopping Team will either be stationed in the Virgin Clubhouse or easily reached by phone to offer expert styling advice and tips on how to wear the season’s key items. Net-a-porter.com branded Sony Vaio laptops situated in the Clubhouse, will allow the Upper Class passengers to access the award-winning website.

Steve Ridgway, Chief Executive of Virgin Atlantic, commented:

Virgin Atlantic Airways opened its £11m flagship business class lounge at Heathrow in March 2006. The Clubhouse, which is over 2,500 square metres in total, has been designed to feel like a private members’ club and has set new standards for the industry with the first spa pool, steam room and sauna in an airline lounge.

Virgin Atlantic also announced last week the introduction of the world’s fastest airport check-in with the launch of its new Upper Class Wing at London Heathrow’s Terminal 3. The new Wing, which opens on 2 November, will enable Virgin Atlantic’s business passengers to speed through the terminal quicker than ever before, moving from limo to lounge in under 10 minutes.
