Virgin Atlantic and Delta Air Lines, the official airline partners of The O2 in London, UK, will honour the airlines’ important New York-London route, with the launch of NY-LON Lounge Bar. The aviation-themed lounge bar will combine the best of both brands to deliver a unique experience to O2 visitors.
Virgin Atlantic and Delta have partnered with Manchester-based design agency, LOVE, to create the 6,000-sq-ft space. Situated in the entertainment district, NY-LON has capacity for up to 400 guests and features a large bar and seating area, plus a “secret space” for meetings, private dining or small events.
NY-LON will be managed by leading hospitality brand, Levy Restaurants UK and menu offerings will highlight both US and British cuisine, as well as aviation-themed cocktails. The NY-LON lounge will be open seven days a week offering a luxurious bar with a difference. Members of the airlines’ frequent flyer programmes, Flying Club and SkyMiles, will benefit from a range of discounts and special offers.
Launched on January 1 last year, the Virgin Atlantic and Delta Air Lines joint venture partnership creates an expanded trans-Atlantic route network, enhancing competition between the UK and North America and providing seamless onward connections. The partnership provides ten flights a day between London Heathrow and New York – with eight to New York-JFK and two to Newark.
