Play air guitar with Virgin Atlantic

Travellers flying upper class with Virgin Atlantic this month will be able to take advantage of exclusive guitar lessons from an expert player.

The Gibson Guitar Master Class will be taught by ex-Balance Of Power guitarist Pete Southern at the Heathrow Clubhouse every weekend, Friday to Sunday, between 17:00 BST and 21:00 BST.

"Gibson Guitar is legendary and we are delighted to offer lessons to our upper class passengers on these celebrated instruments, especially by a master guitar player like Pete," commented Alison Copus, marketing director for Virgin Atlantic.

"I am sure we have some frustrated rock gods amongst our upper class passengers, so it should go down well."

Gibson Guitar has provided instruments to legends such as Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Bob Marley, Jimmy Page and Noel Gallagher, among others.

Last month, Virgin Atlantic won the Best Business Class and Best Premium Economy titles at this year's Business Traveller Awards ceremony.
