Club World Passengers Get Attractive Discounts By British Airways
Aviation as an industry is on a fast recovery mode after the developed economies have stabilized & thus the business travel is gaining pace. Lack of business travelers makes it very difficult for the airlines to fill up the pricier seats in the Business and First Class. But with the business bouncing back the airlines have become active in revamping the first class sections on their aircrafts. British Airways has launched its new Luxury Sale allowing customers to fly in style for less with more than 50 per cent savings on selected First class tickets and routes.
The Club World on their aircrafts is fitted with fully flat beds and passengers can enjoy the ultimate decadence of luxury. The flagship cabin has been relaunched for a classic redesign in understated luxury. This new design will be rolled out across the fleet throughout 2011.
The Club World flights are available on a wide network of routes covering all the important destinations. The Club World passengers get the additional advantage of using the British Airways airport lounges before and after their travels, enjoy a relaxing treatment in the Elemis Travel Spa and travel in comfort to their destination.
Wayne Gretzky, Breitling Watches Brand Ambassador
Wayne Gretzky was just announced by Breitling watches as their newest brand ambassador. As far as I know Mr. Gretzky made his “Breitling public debut” a few weeks ago at Breitling’s new, New York boutique opening. Gretzky will star in a new ad campaign for Breitling watches alongside something else Canadian, a mid 20th Century Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver aquatic plane – meant for takeoff and landing on water. The plane imagery is due to Breitling’s connection and desire to be associated with all things “aviation.” Above, Gretzky is wearing a Breitling Chronomat B01 watch with Breitling’s in-house made chronograph movement.
