Flybe and Virgin Atlantic

FLYBE, 15% owned by British Airways, reports that its new through check-in service tie-up with Virgin Atlantic at Gatwick and Manchester late last year is proving very popular with passengers who, travelling with a through ticket for Flybe and Virgin Atlantic sectors, can now have their boarding cards issued for both flights at the very start of their journey.  This concept works with a single airline travel, or alliance, but the Flybe – Virgin tie up is probably a first for two independent carriers.  The service allows passengers to remain airside throughout their journey, removing the stress of having to check-in for a second time at connecting airports. www.flybe.com
