Virgin Atlantic recently enlisted the help of acclaimed illusionist “DMC” (full name Drummond Money-Coutts), to demonstrate the breadth of destinations it flies to in the USA thanks to its joint venture with Delta Air Lines.
The magician arrived in London in a classic red Cadillac together with some of Virgin Atlantic’s cabin crew. From Fort Myers to Fort Worth, Arkansas to Albuquerque and Denver to Daytona, DMC challenged individuals to pick a destination from the airline’s US route network at random. He then challenged them to send him the US city through the power of telepathy, and if able to, they would win flights to the destination (see video below showing the shocked and emotional reactions to the trick performed by DMC, including a group of women brought to tears with a trip of a lifetime to Portland, Oregon)
DMC said: “America is such a dream destination for many people and it was great fun to put a little magic into giving people fantastic trips and hope it inspires many others to try somewhere totally new in the USA!”
Hamish Rickman, Head of Brand Engagement said: “Our joint venture with Delta Air lines gives us the opportunity to offer our customers flights to over 200 US cities. Working with DMC gave us a fun way to showcase all that America has to offer. Our winners are now travelling to cities such as Knoxville, Seattle and Pittsburgh to start enjoying their American dream!”
Launched on January 1, 2014, the Virgin Atlantic and Delta Air Lines joint venture partnership creates an expanded trans-Atlantic route network, enhancing competition between the U.K. and North America and providing seamless onward connections.
