Virgin Atlantic And Eurostar Hook Up For The Good Of Intercontinental Travel
Planes, trains and automobiles, indeed! Today, Virgin Atlantic announced that they've struck a deal to partner up with the Eurostar train, making it possible to book a seamless journey on both international flights and high-speed European rail.
For example, book a flight to London-Heathrow on Virgin Atlantic and you'll have the option to also book and reserve a seat on a Eurostar train from London to Brussels or Paris. No more separate ticketing necessary; hop your flight then hop a train through the Channel Tunnel. Of course it eliminates the need for the connecting flight to the same European capitals, but taking the train is often preferred.
In addition to simply booklng a plane-plus-train trip, VA Flying Club members can use their miles toward Eurostar tickets, just like it's a flight segment. Now you've just got to get from London-Heathrow airport to St. Pancras Station; the only hiccup in what is a intercontinental trip.
