Beauty brand, hairdryers and hair straighteners\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\nThe airline has also partnered with beauty brand Shark to install its hairdryers and hair straighteners in Lounge bathrooms nationally, and said further refurbishments across its domestic Lounge network will follow over the coming years.<\/p>\n
Virgin Australia group chief executive Dave Emerson said the investment was a significant step forward in the airline\u2019s customer proposition.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re investing significantly across our lounge network because we know how important the lounge experience is to our guests, particularly those travelling frequently for work,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cPerth is an incredibly important market for Virgin Australia, and we\u2019ve seen strong growth among both our corporate customers and our most loyal Velocity members.\u201d<\/p>\n
Emerson added that the investments reflected the airline\u2019s commitment to a better guest experience \u201cwhile continuing to invest where it makes most commercial sense\u201d.<\/p>\n
Chief customer officer Andrew Cleary said Virgin Australia would \u201ccontinue to assess our Lounge network and invest where we see the strongest opportunity\u201d, and flagged that customers can expect more of the brand\u2019s personality in the travel journey in the coming months.<\/p>\n
Separately, Virgin Australia has launched WhatsApp customer service messaging for Beyond members, Velocity Platinum Plus members and Virgin Australia Business Flyer members, the airline\u2019s loyalty program for small to medium-sized business owners. Eligible customers can use the channel for upgrades to Economy X or Business Class, eligible flight date and time changes, and general travel enquiries, subject to terms and conditions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
