Richard BransonRichard Branson is celebrating his birthday by heading off to Havana, Cuba with Virgin Voyages.

To make the event even more fun, Virgin Voyages is running a sweepstakes where one lucky winner will win a trip for two aboard the ship! The only issue with the prize is that airfare isn’t included, so the winner will have to get to Miami on their own.

Virgin Atlantic is changing their swimming policy for cabin crews.

My guess is that in order to be a member of an airline’s cabin crew, you need to know how to swim, just in case of an emergency.

Virgin Atlantic will become the first airline to offer an adult onesie to “Upper Class” passengers on select flights.

Virgin Atlantic collaborated with original Norwegian onesie designers OnePiece to offer 1,000 passengers a limited edition onesie. They will be made available on select night-time flights across their long haul network. Continue reading New Exclusive Amenity On Virgin Atlantic
