Virgin to open second V-Room at Manchester Airport

Virgin Atlantic has signed an agreement with Manchester Airport to establish a V-Room at Terminal 2. This is expected to be available to Virgin's customers from July 2011 and is ideally located just a short walk from departures.

This follows on from the successful leisure lounge established at Gatwick and the idea is to create themed lounges at major airports so that Virgin customers can expect a high level of service in relaxing surroundings before their flight.

These lounges will comfortably cater to up to 100 guests, with distinct zones designed for younger children and teens boasting up to the minute state of the art technology - including a wall-sized interactive gaming screen.

Whilst adults relax in their section and chill out with at the bar and sample superb food. The cost is £20 per adult and £12 for children or free if you stayed at a Premium Collection Hotel.

Since Gatwick was opened the lounge has been met with high customer satisfaction, underpinned by the numbers booking again. Tickets for Manchester are already on sale for departures next July.

Given that most of Virgin travellers are high end customers booked on long haul flights to USA, Caribbean, Africa, the Middle and Far East, the Indian Ocean and Australasia this is seen as a natural extension of the service.

Why not go the whole hog and book from a selection of Manchester Airport Hotels with Parking included as part of the package
