Virgin Atlantic becomes the first airline to introduce bespoke aromatherapy on board as part of a new package of relaxation products, giving business travellers the best sleep in the sky.
Virgin Atlantic has partnered with high end British beauty brands “de Mamiel” and “This Works” to introduce a unique two step aromatherapy kit to their Upper Class cabin, and was the first airline to introduce “Headspace” on board, providing a series of mindfulness videos to help customers feel happier and healthier when flying.
All customers travelling in Upper Class will now be provided with a hot towel infused with oils and created exclusively for Virgin Atlantic by “de Mamiel.” The blend of oils, “Enliven” and “High Altitude,” will vary on day and night flights to ensure customers feel a calming sense of wellbeing at the start of their flight, and revived and ready for their adventures upon landing. Overnight flight travellers will also be provided with a deep sleep pillow spray from “This Works,” which is clinically proven to improve sleep quality and aid a more restful night’s sleep.
“I was delighted to create these bespoke blends to help passengers have a rejuvenating or relaxing experience when they travel. ‘Enliven’ is the perfect wake-me-up, with a combination of calming lavender, uplifting bergamot, refreshing sweet orange and soothing ylang ylang. The immune-boosting, soothing blend, ‘High Altitude’, is designed to help support a relaxed, calm journey and contains a combination of lavender, eucalyptus, fragonia, lemon myrtle and peppermint oil. These blends ensure you arrive at your destination calm, revived and relaxed,” says Annee de Mamiel, founder of de Mamiel.
The new aromatherapies are complimented by a range of on board mindfulness films designed by the popular app “Headspace.” The set of 13 films on the in-flight entertainment provides techniques to help customers sleep effectively on a plane. The in-flight videos also help customers switch off from work or focus their mind ahead of an important business meeting.
“We are always looking for ways to make flying an even more fabulous experience, and now customers travelling in Upper Class can benefit from our unique blend of on-board aromatherapies. We partnered with leading British beauty brands ‘de Mamiel’ and ‘This Works’ to provide a two-step aromatherapy kit on board all Upper Class flights to help customers overcome jetlag and enjoy a deep, relaxing sleep on board,” says Jill Brady, Executive vice president customer experience, Virgin Atlantic. www.virginatlantic.com.hk
