Virgin Atlantic reveals unusual inflight requests
1 Feb 2011
Virgin Atlantic has revealed some of the most surprising and unusual requests made by its passengers at 35,000 feet.
A survey of more than 3,000 of the airline's cabin crew found that passengers often ask for the window to be opened during a flight or to be shown to the showers.
The poll revealed some highly surprising and unusual requests, including a massage for a Barbie doll and a McDonald's meal.
Virgin Atlantic cabin crew have also been asked to make the engines quieter, tell the captain to stop the turbulence and even help with a search for a glass eye.
Caroline Lynam, the airline's customer relations manager, said: 'Virgin Atlantic crew will always go that extra mile to offer our customers the best possible service but there are some requests that even we find somewhat challenging!'
The carrier operates flights from the UK to 30 international destinations, including New York, Tokyo, Dubai and Nairobi.
