Virgin Atlantic launches round-the-world fares
- Feb 25, 2009
Virgin Atlantic has launched new round-the-world fares from London Heathrow.
Passengers will be offered two ticket options for their round-the-world trip – 'Virgin Global East' and 'Virgin Global West'. The 'Virgin Global East' option takes passengers from Heathrow to Hong Kong and then onto Sydney with Virgin Atlantic, from Sydney to Los Angeles with V Australia, returning from Los Angeles to London with Virgin Atlantic. The 'Virgin Global West' option takes passengers from London Heathrow to Los Angeles with Virgin Atlantic, then onto Sydney with V Australia, from Sydney to Hong Kong and then back to London with Virgin Atlantic.
The launch of the new fares coincide with Richard Branson's Round the world in 8 days tour, celebrating the 25th birthday of Virgin Atlantic and the launch of V Australia on Friday, 27 February 2009.
Richard has been celebrating the launch of the new global Virgin network and Virgin Atlantic's 25th birthday by travelling around the world in 8 days. He's also on the lookout to find the world's best 'Richard look-alike'. Those who bear an uncanny resemblance to him and need more information about the competition can visit Virgin Atlantic's Facebook page and simply upload their picture for a chance to win a VIP trip to New York and attend the airline's 25th birthday party.
The special round the world launch fare of £1239 (including all taxes and charges) is valid for departures from London Heathrow between 25 February and 19 April 2009 and is available for sale until 6 March 2009.
Passengers can book these round the world fares by calling the Virgin Atlantic Contact Centre on 08705 747747.
