Virgin Atlantic launches Round the World ticket
Sir Richard Branson: Launching Virgin Atlantic new Round the World fares
Virgin Atlantic has launched new round-the-world fares from London Heathrow.
I’ve always had a good experience travelling on Virgin and this latest news caught my eye.
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 Sir 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.
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. Or visit the Virgin Atlantic website.
