At Virgin Holidays, we believe amazing service should come as standard. That’s why Virgin Holiday’s magic touches are made available to all Virgin Holidays customers – not just the VIPs! We realise that you want to make the most of being on holiday, so we came up with Check in, Chill out, so you can check in for your flight without leaving the beach…or bar.  Airports are a drag.  The holiday only really starts when you get to your destination.  And if you’ve got kids, then airports are living nightmares.  So, to perk up the airport experience, we came up with the VRoom. And when you’re on holiday, you want to make sure it’s as good as it can be.  That’s where Virgin Holidays’ Concierge service comes in – a concierge actually tuned in to the buzz of your destination, not a guy in a suit on kick backs from rip-off restaurants. This belief is what sets Virgin Holidays apart from the competition. That’s why we actually encourage our customers to ‘Ask For the World’.

But how do you express that exclusive treatment in a single thought.  What do Virgin Holidays offer that no-one else does?  We think it can be described as…

“ROCKSTAR SERVICE”

It’s a level of care you’d normally associate with the glamour and excitement of the entertainment elite.  Made available to every Virgin Holidays customer.

With Virgin Holidays, you can rest assured that you’ll get intuitive, imaginative typically brilliant twinkle-in-the-eye Virgin service, every single time you travel with us.

So if you’re flying into the UK, your first obstacle will be to decide which airport to fly into. London may be your first reaction, but there are plenty of international airports, and minor airports, that can accommodate your air travel. For example, flights to Belfast are common, and Northern Ireland is a great UK destination. There is also Wales and Scotland with their own respective airports that welcome large airliners as well as budget flights. The UK really does accommodate to any traveler and budget, which makes for a variety of options when choosing your arrival and departure terminals.

If you are not tied down to a specific airport due to hotel reservation or preference, then try out some of the other great cities and capitals in the UK, for a different perspective on these amazing islands.

1) ‘Go to a Museum’

From Darwin and Dinosaurs, to mammals and minerals, you can be sure the museum’s many exhibitions will both amaze and educate for hours on end.

2) ‘See the sights’.

Home of the British Government, a walk by Westminster provides many an iconic view of Britain. Take a trip to the houses of Parliament, peer through the gates at Downing Street, or simply stare in awe at Westminster abbey. Finally, recently noted as one of the most popular landmarks of Britain, a picture with London’s most famous resident, Big Ben, is a must for any holiday album. Also good for checking the time.

3) ‘Spend, spend, spend’.
