Virgin Atlantic unveils new seasonal menu and wellness offerings for business travellers
Virgin Atlantic has launched a new Autumn/Winter menu, offering a range of seasonal, comforting dishes across all cabins, complemented by feel-good beverages in Upper Class and wellness amenities at the London Heathrow Clubhouse.
For business travellers flying Upper Class, the menu presents a premium culinary experience with indulgent options such as chicken and mushroom pie with truffle, pan-roasted cod or pumpkin girasoli.
Virgin Atlantic’s pre-select service enhances this further with exclusive mains, including roasted duck breast with potato gratin. Travellers can also enjoy a delightful brunch on select UK departures, with choices such as smashed avocado with poached egg, red velvet pancakes, or a chicken and treacle beer bacon club sandwich.
Recognising the importance of rest and rejuvenation for business travellers, Virgin Atlantic has introduced a selection of wellness drinks in Upper Class.
These include the soothing Three Spirit Nightcap, kombucha by Lo Bros, and TRIP Elderflower Mint Mindful Blend – all designed to promote relaxation during and after flights. For an immune-boosting option, Perfect Ted Juicy Peach, powered by matcha green tea, is also available.
The Upper Class wine selection has been refreshed, featuring a curated list of elegant wines, including a 2022 Grillo Viognier Bio and a 2023 Diermersdal Sauvignon Blanc, with red and rosé options also available.
Premium and Economy passengers are not left out, with a variety of delicious meals such as honey and mustard chicken or Cumberland sausage in Premium, and sausage with colcannon mash or tomato mascarpone pasta in Economy.
Pre-flight relaxation has also been taken up a notch at Virgin Atlantic’s London Heathrow Clubhouse. Passengers can now access calming essential oils by Aromatherapy Associates, designed to help them unwind before boarding.
The Clubhouse has introduced a Yoga Retreat in collaboration with Peloton, allowing travellers to meditate, stretch or work out before their flight.
Commenting on the launch, Corneel Koster, Virgin Atlantic’s Chief Customer and Operating Officer, said:
By combining seasonality and comfort with premium ingredients, we’re offering our customers an elevated in-flight dining experience to enjoy and indulge, while also recognising the importance of relaxation during travel. Feeling well-rested and cared for can make all the difference for our customers, whether it’s a once-in-a-lifetime holiday or a business-as-usual trip.
Paul Baker, Sales Director of Global Travel Management, added:
Virgin Atlantic’s new menu and wellness offerings are a fantastic development for UK-based business travellers. The combination of premium dining options and relaxation-focused beverages and amenities ensures that travellers can arrive at their destination refreshed and ready to do business.
