8 ways to book corporate travel better
What do you get when you pair a world-class airline with a leading travel management company?
Answer: The corporate travel duo of your dreams.
One makes flying feel effortless. The other takes the hassle out of managing business travel. Put them together? You get smarter travel solutions, smoother journeys, and a whole lot less stress.
Corporate Traveller and Virgin Atlantic are here to make business travel work for you—whether you're booking for a team or flying solo. Think seamless travel arrangements, smarter travel spend, and support that’s got your back 24/7 for emergency support.
For businesses, it means a corporate travel management company that keeps everything in check. For business travellers, it’s about getting where they need to be, without the usual headaches.
Here are 8 ways we're taking business travel to the next level.
1. Earn and burn with Flying Club
Every flight is an opportunity to earn Virgin Points through Virgin Atlantic’s Flying Club. You can redeem them for upgrades, hotel stays, and even some well-deserved retail therapy. Best of all? Your points never expire, making every trip more rewarding.
2. Service that goes the extra mile
The Virgin Atlantic crew gives the phrase "dressed to impress" a whole new meaning! From the moment they don their uniforms (designed by the one and only Vivienne Westwood), they bring an extra level of style and service to the skies. Their mission? Making your journey as smooth and memorable as possible.
3. Showstopping cuisine
Did you know food tastes blander at 30,000 feet? Lower air pressure dulls flavours. Fortunately, Virgin Atlantic’s in-flight dining is designed to hit the spot.
From elevated British classics to the indulgent Mile High afternoon tea, every dish is crafted for maximum flavour. And if you're flying Premium or Upper Class, you can pre-select your meal before takeoff and skip the mid-air menu roulette.
4. Exclusive Clubhouse access
Business travellers flying Upper Class or with Flying Club Gold status can access Virgin Atlantic’s exclusive Upper Class Wing and Clubhouse—complete with private security channels, five-star service, and ultra-fast Wi-Fi. We can think of no better way for recharging or staying productive before takeoff.
5. A travel management company that works for you
No two business travel programmes are the same—so why settle for a one-size-fits-all approach? With Corporate Traveller, your dedicated travel consultant ensures travel arrangements align with your company's needs. It’s not just about booking flights; it’s about optimising your business travel programme for maximum value.
A travel management company should work around you—not the other way around. Thousands of companies already trust us to make business travel easier, smarter, and more cost-effective. That’s the difference.
6. The perfect blend of tech and service
Our travel management platform, Melon, makes booking, tracking travellers on the road, and managing travel expenses a breeze. But sometimes, you need more than tech. You need a human. That’s why our team of expert travel consultants is available 24/7 to provide real-time support, no matter where in the world you are.
7. Full visibility of your travel spend
Managing your travel budget shouldn’t feel like a guessing game. With real-time reporting and consolidated travel spend data, Melon puts everything at your fingertips—from unused credits to cost-saving opportunities. Full visibility means smarter decisions and bigger savings.
8. Prioritising traveller safety
Traveller safety is non-negotiable. To prove our point, we've ensured traveller tracking and risk management are built into Melon, giving travel managers complete visibility over their teams. We're talking real-time alerts, country risk ratings, and localised safety updates to ensure your business travellers stay informed. Plus, with the Melon mobile app, on-the-go itinerary access and live-chat support are always just a tap away.
