Virgin America adopts Visa Checkout for online, mobile bookings
Virgin America has become the first US airline to adopt ‘Visa Checkout,’ which it claims will transform online payment processing, making the flight booking process as easy as a physical card ‘swipe.’
Available through www.virginamerica.com on all devices, Visa Checkout allows for a quick and simple payment process without the need to input card details each time, after signing up once.
Visa Checkout accepts all debit and credit cards, including the Virgin America co-branded Visa cards and can be used at all online retailers displaying the Visa Checkout button.
After completing registration, users need only input their username and password to complete payment, all done on Virgin America’s website.
"We are excited to elevate our guests’ web experience even further with the launch of Visa Checkout, bringing the simplicity and speed of the ‘swipe’ into the online world so our guests can breeze through checkout in just a few clicks, from any device," said Virgin America Chief Marketing Officer Luanne Calvert.
Sam Shrauger, senior vice president, Visa Digital Solutions said: "Visa Checkout’s payment experience does exactly that, making it super simple to purchase from a mobile phone, tablet, or PC, so that travelers can spend more time planning their next trip, and less time checking out and paying."
To celebrate the launch of Visa Checkout, the airline is offering $25 off a flight for all customers who sign up and use Visa Checkout on the Virgin website through March 15 2015.
