Virgin To The Rescue For Silverjet Passengers

Passengers who were left stranded by the collapse of Silverjet can now book an alternative flight with Virgin after they launched a package designed to help passengers of the airline.

If you had a ticket to fly with Silverjet from this point in time until the 30th of June then you will be able to obtain a special rate to fly on a Virgin aircraft for the same date that you were originally booked to fly with Silverjet. An article in the Los Angeles Times indicates that the price for a flight between London Heathrow and New York JFK will be $299 or £153 if you are to be in economy class. You can also travel in premium economy for $599 or in business class for £1,399.

It is believed that British Airways are to offer alternative flights for stranded Silverjet passengers as well as was reported by online travel news service Travel Mole.
