Virgin Atlantic is offering its passengers an incentive to get their holidays off to a flying start this Easter. From 1 April to 30 April 2009, all passengers travelling from Heathrow, Gatwick and Manchester Airports who check in online with Virgin Atlantic will receive a £6 discount voucher to use with Retail Therapy, Virgin Atlantic’s onboard Duty Free shopping range. Retail Therapy offers some of the latest designer fragrances, cosmetics, gadgets and accessories, with huge savings of up to 50% off the high street prices.

Passengers travelling from London Heathrow or London Gatwick will also receive exclusive vouchers for savings on short-term parking and for selected duty free retailers within the departure areas of Terminal 3 at Heathrow and the South Terminal at Gatwick.

Paul Dickinson, Sales & Marketing Director for Virgin Atlantic, said:

"We are sure our passengers will enjoy this Easter promotion. Not only will their travels be made quicker and easier by checking in online but they can then use their discount vouchers to shop onboard at even better prices than usual"

To obtain the vouchers, passengers will need to check in online between 1 and 30 April 2009. Once they have done this, they will be able to print off their vouchers from their check-in confirmation email and take them with them to the airport on the day of departure. For the Retail Therapy discount, passengers will need to present the voucher to a member of cabin crew onboard their flight when making a purchase of £30 or more. For all other vouchers, passengers should produce the vouchers at the time of purchase.
