Virgin Atlantic offering sweet treats to mark Platinum Jubilee
Virgin Atlantic is celebrating the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee next weekend in its own inimitable way.
Customers flying to the US and Caribbean over the long holiday weekend will be treated to extra special delicacies to celebrate Her Majesty’s historic 70-year reign.
Those travelling in Virgin Atlantic’s Economy class will be served a milk chocolate crown lolly wrapped and tied with a festive red ribbon.
Premium and Upper Class customers will be offered a Platinum Jubilee Mile High Tea, including a duo of finger sandwiches and a selection of mini patisseries.
The cakes will be a Victoria sponge financier, a chocolate and tonka macaron, and a vanilla and strawberry Battenberg with Virgin Atlantic purple-coloured marzipan.
A quintessentially English cocktail will accompany the Mile High Tea, using Hambledon English Sparkling Wine and Fever-Tree sweet British Rhubarb and Raspberry tonic.
The beverage will also be available in the Virgin Atlantic London Heathrow Clubhouse.
Celebrations are also stretching to the United States, with Virgin Atlantic Clubhouses across America also honouring the Platinum Jubilee.
