United, Virgin Australia team up for transatlantic Sydney Pride flight
United Airlines has joined hands with Virgin Australia to connect American travelers to the world’s largest Pride event.
It welcomed travelers to Sydney WorldPride with a special flight staffed entirely by members and allies of the LGBTQ+ community.
The flight departed February 22 from San Francisco with festivities at the gate, giveaways onboard and a welcome party in Sydney.
Virgin Australia has offered special domestic flights in Australia for Pride since 2021.
It is the first time United is joining this effort.
“United is thrilled to join the party and help people celebrate Pride in Sydney,” said Lori Augustine, Operations VP for United in San Francisco.
“At United, we recognize, embrace and celebrate the differences that make our customers and employees unique.”
United was the first U.S. airline to offer non-binary gender options throughout all its booking channels in 2019.
