New Rival to Arrivals Lounge at LHR
Posted: 02 Jun 2010, 13:34"Effective today, eligible passengers arriving into London Heathrow on Delta flights from Atlanta, New York-JFK, Minneapolis or Detroit, will be able to freshen up in one of YOTEL's cabins.
These feature a bathroom with monsoon rain shower, a dedicated work area with free WiFi, a flat screen TV, and rest area with handmade organic beds."
I think that Virgin don't have much to worry about here but a great joint venture on both parts.
Presumably DL pax were moaning about lack of facilities and most of the people who stay at the Yotel are on early flights out of LHR so they vacate their cabins pretty early so they have a lot of empty cabins that they can sell to DL (albeit at a higly discounted rate, it will be more than they would have got otherwise).
They haven't updated this on the web yet, still trying to find a link on DL site, this from business traveller: http://www.businesstraveller.com/news/d ... t-heathrow
