Virgin Atlantic has expanded its partnership with mindfulness brand Headspace to offer a range of in-flight “sleepcasts” and other audible sleep aids to help passengers, pilots, crew and staff manage the stresses of travel and jetlag.

Launched last year, Sleep by Headspace is now available on Virgin’s flights, with its sleepcasts, sleep sounds and wind-downs specifically designed to create the ideal conditions for restful sleep.


Headspace’s sleepcasts are narrated by unique, soothing voices, guiding listeners though a range of different “dreamy” environments. The company has been a Virgin partner since 2011 when the airline first added guided meditation content to its in-flight entertainment programme.


Together, the two brands have created a series of videos featuring Virgin crew and pilots sharing their experiences of coping with overnight travel across multiple time zones.
