The Upper Class passengers of Virgin Atlantic will be able to surf the net with free Wi-Fi connections in all its Upper Class Clubhouses by the end of this year as the carrier revealed. Upper Class passengers travelling from London Heathrow, London Gatwick, John F Kennedy New York, Washington Dulles International and Hong Kong Chek Lap Kok airports are able to use the new service.
The service is also available in Virgin Atlantic Revivals for Upper Class passengers arriving at London Heathrow airport. By the end of the year the remaining Clubhouses worldwide in Tokyo, Boston, Newark, San Francisco and Johannesburg will also offer the free Wi-Fi service to Upper Class passengers.
Virgin Atlantic research has shown that around 10% of business travellers spend an average of up to 54 minutes on line in the Clubhouse in order to keep in touch with the office and surf the net.
Steve Ridgway, Chief Executive of Virgin Atlantic commented: Virgin Atlantic is always looking at ways to enhance the services we offer our passengers and the introduction of free Wi-Fi access in our Clubhouses will mean that Upper Class passengers will no longer have the frustration of trying to make it through the Internet connection jungle.
Giving passengers the ability to work more effectively whilst enjoying the hospitality of our Clubhouses, can only enhance the whole journey whether it be for business or pleasure.
