Effective Tuesday, September 11th, our ticket counter at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) will be relocating within Terminal 4 from its current location next to the Virgin Atlantic counters.

As an airline that takes pleasure in doing things a little differently, we’re always looking for new ways to showcase just how good it gets at 35,000 feet, especially for guests who haven’t taken off with us before.
