    In the Skies – Lord of the Rings

    Monday, June 11th, 2007

    If you have an LOTR fanatic amongst your older kids (that’s Lord of the Rings for you non sci-fi people), or if you’re one yourself, and if you happen to be heading to England anytime soon, you might want to fly Virgin Atlantic – in Economy.

    All passengers flying Economy into the UK will receive a precioussssss Lord of the Rings amenities package to herald the opening of the LOTR stage show in London.  The package includes a travel wallet with LOTR luggage tag, eyeshades, and oddly enough, socks customized with a quote from Gandalf (uh, he was the good wizard, if you didn’t know).  There’s also a gold pen and newly designed toothbrush and toothpaste.

    The special kits will be available for 6 months, starting mid-June, on flights heading into Gatwick, Manchester and Heathrow.  Yes, they’re odd.  But we’re not here to judge – we’re just passing on the info.   For more of same, head to Virgin Atlantic.
