BA vouchers recognised by Virgin
 Sir
Richard has come into the spotlight once again as he takes advantage
of current bad feeling among airline passengers. Virgin Atlantic
has offered to accept the £80 British Airways vouchers given
to passengers affected by the recent flight chaos – plus an additional
£20 discount.
British Airways came under fire after
offering passengers the vouchers – and while many accepted that
the carrier was trying to make an effort to placate passengers,
many said the gesture was too little, too late.
Virgin bookings doubled
Now Virgin is effectively giving anyone affected by the flight a
£100 discount. It claimed that bookings taken at its call
centre doubled during the recent BA dispute and were still running
at record levels a week later.
Sir Richard Branson said: “For many British Airways passengers stranded
by the recent industrial action BA’s goodwill offer of £80 to fly
with them again will come as cold comfort. We have already seen
thousands of BA’s passengers book with Virgin and we expect this
offer will encourage passengers to switch over to Virgin in their
droves.”
