Both hotel companies have properties in many of Virgin Atlantic`s nineteen destinations worldwide. flying club members staying at Hyatt Hotels & Resorts will be eligible to earn 750 miles while members staying at Ian Schrager Hotels will earn 500 miles. To celebrate the new partnerships double miles will be offered between 1 February and 30 April 2002 for Hyatt Hotels & Resorts and between 18 February and 20 April 2002 for Ian Schrager Hotels.

Richard Branson, Chairman of Virgin Atlantic, said:

“We are delighted to be able to announce our new partnerships with Hyatt Hotels & Resorts and Ian Schrager Hotels as both companies are a perfect match for Virgin Atlantic.

“Since it was set up in 1990 flying club`s aim has been not only to help our passengers travel the world but also to help them get the most out of doing so. I`m sure deals with superior hotel names like Ian Schrager and Hyatt will prove extremely popular with our flying club members.“Virgin Atlantic`s flying club is renowned throughout the industry because members can not only spend their miles on reward flights, upgrades and limo transfers but also on car hire, hotel breaks, holidays and an exciting range of leisure activities including sky diving and white water rafting for braver flying club members!
