Virgin Atlantic offers passengers bags of fun

Virgin Atlantic is set to offer its passengers a great incentive to get their holidays off to the best start this summer. Between the 1 July and 31 August this year, all passengers travelling from Heathrow, Gatwick and Manchester Airports who check- in online will receive £10 off a purchase of two or more fragrances from the Virgin Atlantic onboard Retail Therapy Duty Free shopping range. The VScents for Her and VScents for Him ranges offer some of the latest perfumes and designers fragrances with huge savings on high street prices.

Passengers travelling from London Heathrow or London Gatwick will also receive exclusive vouchers and discounts to spend at selected duty free retailers within the departure areas of Terminal 3 at Heathrow and the South Terminal at Gatwick.

Paul Dickinson, Sales & Marketing Director for Virgin Atlantic, said:

“We hope that this promotion will encourage passengers to check-in online before their trip as it means that on arrival at the airport, they simply hand over their luggage at the ‘Bag Drop’ desk and go straight through security, making the whole process much quicker and stress free for them.

“Online Check-In is currently used by nearly a quarter of our passengers - we predict that this number will continue to increase over the coming months.”

To obtain the vouchers, passengers will need to check-in online between the 1 July and 31 August 2008. Once they have done this, they will be able to print off their vouchers from their check-in confirmation email and take them with them to the airport on the day of departure. For the Retail Therapy discount, passengers will need to present the voucher to a member of cabin crew onboard their flight when making a purchase of two or more fragrances from our onboard range. For vouchers to be used at the airport duty free retailers, passengers should produce the vouchers at time of purchase.
