Virgin Atlantic launches Upper Class promotion

Virgin Atlantic has launched a promotion for passengers flying Upper Class in the New Year. The airline is offering passengers John Lewis vouchers worth £100 for every one-way flight in Upper Class (J or D booking classes) between 6 January 2003 and 31 March 2003 (inclusive). This means every passenger will earn £200 for each Upper Class return journey to spend at the leading department store.

This promotion is available to existing members of Virgin Atlantic's frequent flyer programme flying club - but passengers can also join flying club in order to take advantage of the offer.

Angus Struthers, Direct Marketing and Promotions Manager for Virgin Atlantic, commented,

"We recognise and want to reward the loyalty of our frequent flyers with great promotions, and I'm sure our flying club members will find a bit of retail therapy at John Lewis a great reward. Not only will they enjoy earning the vouchers by experiencing Virgin Atlantic's Upper Class service, but they'll also benefit from the flying club miles they'll earn on the flight. On their return trip the vouchers can be claimed for the flying club member's personal use or given to loved ones to spend while the member is away on their next qualifying flight!

"flying club is renowned as one of the most generous loyalty programmes in the industry offering more miles, great rewards and offers with Virgin Atlantic and its partners."

Benefits for Virgin Atlantic's Upper Class passengers include limo service to and from the airport, Drive Thru Check In, the Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse including Business Centre and Virgin Touch Salon, onboard Upper Class sleeper seat offering 6'8 inches of sleeping space, the restaurant style inflight Freedom menu, inflight beauty therapy treatments and award winning state-of-the-art inflight entertainment system.

The vouchers can be redeemed at 27 John Lewis stores worldwide. John Lewis offers around half a million lines, including everything for the house and family, from cameras and computers to clothes and furniture. John Lewis vouchers can also be used in 140 Waitrose food shops and to purchase wine by mail order from Waitrose Wine Direct. Terms and Conditions apply.
