Virgin Atlantic and Kenya Airways have teamed up

The agreement between the SkyTeam stablemates will initially extend to Kenya Airways’ Nairobi service from Heathrow, Virgin’s London base.


It will allow Virgin Atlantic customers to book Nairobi direct, while Kenya Airways passengers will be able to seamlessly connect with the Virgin network, via Heathrow, to destinations such as the Caribbean.


Virgin Atlantic Fly CLub’s Gold and Silver members will be able to take advantage of SkyPriority services at Heathrow and Nairobi’s Jomo Kenyatta International airport, such as priority check-in, baggage handling and boarding. The same will apply to Kenya Airways’ Platinum and Gold Asante Rewards members.
