Virgin Atlantic Now Offers Flight Status Updates On Twitter

Virgin Atlantic have launched a new automated Twitter account that replies to a traveller’s tweet about a specific flight and gives them real-time departure and arrival information. The tool is great for passengers wanting to get a quick update on their flight status, or friends and family wanting to know when someone is due to touch down.

To check Virgin Atlantic flight times on Twitter, simply tweet @VAAInfo followed by the flight number and departure date, and you will shortly receive a response with the up-to-date information. Fergus Boyd, head of E-commerce, said:

We now have over 50,000 Twitter followers worldwide and we know that many of them use the social network to keep abreast of travel news and updates. We are finding that many travellers are using the tool simply to confirm when their flight departs and others to check details when picking up friends and family from the airport.
