The Booth by Virgin Atlantic is a social space for business class passengers and it will be set up on the Airbus 350-1000 aircraft to provide a casual place for passengers to chat and have drinks. The Booth can be found on select routes to popular destinations like Florida and the Caribbean and it includes a pair of 27" touchscreen monitors and Bluetooth audio jacks for an immersive audio-visual experience. Located behind the Upper-Class cabin, The Booth will first introduce itself with a digital art gallery featuring the work of emerging artists, and the functions of its space will evolve over time.
As all sorts of public places welcome people back to in-person experiences, there's a renewed focus on building spaces that foster a sense of community and connection.
