It was an evening filled with laughter, light conversation and great entertainment on Tuesday, as media practitioners were invited to a meet-and-greet affair at the Spanish Court Hotel, to formally meet members of the Virgin Atlantic Regional team.
Spearheaded by Regional Marketing Manager Andre Bello, the team was on a five-day visit to the island as part of the company's 'Flying In The Face Of Ordinary' campaign.
As the evening progressed, Fred Rason - the magician, entertained with his tricks, much to the amusement of the guests.
Flight attendants and cabin crew members Julia Sykes and Carrie-Ann Slight also offered some amount of 'English' cheer and delight just before dinner, as they delivered gifts coupled with their bubbly and exuberant personalities.
Excited about the growth of the airline in the Caribbean and, by extension Jamaica, Bello noted that the number of flights on the London Gatwick to Montego Bay route has increased for the summer period.
"Normally during the summer, we would have two flights going out, but now we have increased it to three, and, for winter, we are maintaining the three that we currently have."
Promoting Virgin Atlantic as a premium airline, Bello says flying should never be a daunting or uncomfortable ride, but instead one that screams luxury and comfort. Their current campaign 'Flying in the Face of Ordinary' eludes to the staff ensuring that only the best is delivered through their collaborative efforts and skills.
"We make sure that we do our best to make you excited to get on one of our flights," said Bello.
And the full refurbishing of their 747 planes serves as one of the true reasons for passengers enjoying their time in the sky. With prime amenities, whether they are flying in the upper class, premium economy or economy, comfort and quality entertainment is never compromised.
