In-flight street parties should get Virgin passengers in a patriotic mood
Passengers on board Virgin Atlantic flights to the US and Caribbean next Friday will be invited to onboard street parties to celebrate the marriage of Prince William and Kate Middleton.
On flights departing April 29, passengers in economy and premium economy will receive an afternoon tea of wedding cake and traditional English breakfast tea served in a souvenir union jack lunch box.
Cabins will be decorated in bunting and union jack headrests and passengers will receive special Kate and William themed love hearts and ice cream during the flight.
Upper Class passengers will also have the option to join in with the festivities as the cabin will be decorated in union jack bunting and wedding cake and wedding favours will be available at the Upper Class bar.
Each flight will also have a royal wedding themed dressing up box for the crew to take part in the onboard entertainment.
Simon Soni, head of inflight services, said: “We are hoping that these extra special touches will make the flight really memorable.”
