一个Airline Is Trying to Get More Guests to Fly in Middle Seats with a Prize Lottery
byDaniel McCarthy/If you’ve ever been unlucky enough to book a flight last minute or with limited availability or decided not to pay for or check seating arrangements prior, you’ve known the dread of seeing yourself placed in a middle seat.
It can obviously be uncomfortable and, depending on your seatmates, can be almost unbearable despite what the不成文的旅行规则说谁得到了什么座位and how you should respect those around you.
But this week, one airline is trying to make that experience a little more pleasant.
Virgin Australia has unveiled a new prize lottery that would potentially reward middle-seat guests with big prizes.
该彩票价值约145,000美元,这一奖项将以26个奖品的形式传播给客人,从航班到带着处女航行到直升机酒吧的巡游。捕获是,只有那些坐在中间席位的人,无论是自愿还是自愿地进入。
Virgin is running the competition until April 23, 2023, and will make it available to all who are lucky, or unlucky, enough to be seated in a middle seat, as long as they are Velocity Frequent Flyer members aged 18 or older. All who qualify can enter through the Virgin Australia app within 48 hours of their flight’s scheduled departure.
Virgin, which has done things differently in all hospitality areas, said that move was made to “make every part of the travel experience more wonderful.”
“Virgin Australia is an airline that’s doing things differently and we are having a lot of fun coming up with exciting new innovations to make every part of the travel experience more wonderful,” Virgin Australia Group CEO Jayne Hrdlicka said in the announcement.
