Passengers travelling with Virgin Atlantic can now buy Heathrow Express train tickets as the airline launches WiFi onboard its planes.

This means you can buy your train tickets at 36,000ft before you touch down at the airport.

Heathrow Express is the quickest route into central London.

Passengers can have a 15 miniute transfer from Heathrow to London – saving them time!

Thanks to Panasonic and Gogo Technology, the new WiFi launches from just £2.99.

What did the officials say?

Fraser Brown, Director of Heathrow Express said: “We are delighted to be working with Virgin Atlantic. This offers their passengers the chance to easily purchase tickets in-flight so they can enjoy a seamless journey from plane to train and into central London.”

Mark Anderson, Executive Vice President of Customer at Virgin Atlantic said: “This year we became the first airline in Europe to offer Wi-Fi across our network, and now we’ve partnered with Heathrow Express to add even more benefits for our customers. From November we’ll offer complimentary access to the Heathrow Express website from the air, enabling a seamless onward journey to and from central London.”
