Virgin America Hits the Mark with Business Travelers

The San Francisco based low-cost airline is the brainchild of self-made billionaire Sir Richard Branson. As the Founder of the Virgin Group, Branson bootstrapped his way from record-shop owner to head of the Virgin Empire (400 companies and counting).

“My interest in life comes from setting myself huge, apparently unachievable challenges and trying to rise above them … from the perspective of wanting to live life to the full, I felt that I had to attempt it.”Sir Richard Branson

Branson is not the typical airline owner. And if you’ve ever flown on Virgin America you’ll notice that it’s not your typical airline.

Virgin America planes are equipped with custom-designed leather seats, mood-lit cabins and Gogo Inflight Internet™. According to Condé Nast Traveler’s 2010 Business Travel Poll, Virgin America hits mark with small business travelers and was recently voted “Best Business/First Class” for the third consecutive year. Not too shabby.

 

Corporate Rewards and Travel Essentials

What’s essential when you choose the best airline for your travel needs? Free luggage check, inflight internet, legroom, price? Whatever the case may be, for business or pleasure, the essentials are important.

Most importantly, traveling to your next business meeting shouldn’t break the bank. And while every airline offers its own variation of loyalty program to entice you to become a repeat customer, it’s nice to find a hybrid of low-cost essentials with luxurious benefits.

Elevate, Inc., Virgin America’s corporate rewards program, gives your small business a little something back for what you spend on travel. Their frequent flyer program includes:

  • Reward travel on any seat, any time, with no blackout dates
  • Reward flights for as few as 2,500 points
  • 5 points per $1 spent on flights (benefiting business travelers)
  • Access to the hottest events, discounts, and exclusive offers
