London: Virgin Atlantic to upgrade ticket of oldest passenger on every flight till January 2020

Virgin Atlantic is giving its oldest passengers a very special gift this holiday season. The airline has decided to upgrade the ticket of the oldest passenger on every flight to a higher category for the rest of 2019- all inspired by the kindness of strangers in a tweet, Virgin Atlantic said, “On behalf of us and @RichardBranson, complimentary upgrades will be offered to the most ‘seasoned’ customer on board all our flights from today until 1st Jan 2020. The airline got inspired from an incident where a passenger named Jack gave up his first-class seat for an 88-year-old woman named Violet. In mid-December, a Virgin Atlantic crew member detailed the incident on Facebook.
