Virgin Atlantic Celebrates 15 Years of Connecting Washington DC and London




September 22, 2011 - Virgin Atlantic Airways celebrated a milestone birthday marking 15 years of connecting two of the world's major airport hubs: Washington DC and London. There was a private celebration at Lincoln Restaurant in Washington DC.

The combination of Virgin Atlantic and Lincoln hosting this celebration made for a complementary display of decor and a delicious array of food and drink for guests. There were four ladies who are actual cabin crew members wearing their uniforms, greeting guests and serving drinks. Desserts were provided by Lincoln and also from Bakeshop in Arlington, VA.

Chris Rossi, Senior Vice President, North America, Virgin Atlantic was there along with other staff to say a few words about this birthday milestone and everyone celebrated throughout the night. Local celebrities such as Paul Wharton, Cat Ommaney and Mary Amons came out to celebrate, and Solange Knowles graced us with her presence and DJ skills, adding more groove to the evening. It was a jet set kind of celebration and the party was pretty fly, going on till about Midnight.

To further celebrate their anniversary, Virgin Atlantic is launching a week-long sale fare to and from Dulles International Airport to London Heathrow. The rates start at around $266 one way, so now is a good time to fly. I've always wanted to visit London. Maybe someday. We'll see. Check out the Virgin Atlantic website.
