Upper class passengers flying with Virgin Atlantic from London Heathrow’s Terminal 3 can now travel through the airport in just 40 minutes, the airline has claimed.
The 40-minute time means the carrier can now its passengers the fastest check-in time in the UK – outdoing the time offered by its main rival British Airways at Terminal 5 .
The airline said the fast check-in service has been made possible due to a number of recent developments at Terminal 3, including Virgin Atlantic's investment in an upper class wing and private security channel.
Steve Ridgway, Virgin Atlantic’s chief executive, said: "The introduction of this new check-in time at Heathrow allows our upper class passengers to spend even less time at the airport – offering them flexibility in their travel plans whether they are heading off on a business trip or just running late after a busy day in the office."
"From arriving at the airport and checking in – passengers can be relaxing in their upper class suite as their long-haul flight departs within 40 minutes," he added.
