Britannia Airways and Virgin Upper Class Website comparisons. 

The websites I am using are: -

 and

 

        I’ll start by reporting on the Virgin Atlantic Upper Class suite website. To start with you are prompted to select what country you live in. This is so the person who enters the website can get it in the relevant language. To start with, you get to click on the different things on the plane, and a menu appears in this you get to select which item you want to read about. On the navigation menu on the top of the page, if you click on the box saying ‘Experience’ you are able to have a virtual tour of the different features of the plane. On this page there are 3 sub-menus. These are ‘Reaction’ this is reports on what other professional plane experts have said about it, the second one is ‘Have your say’ this is obviously where the explorers of the sight can leave their feelings and their views about the site, and lastly there is ‘Response’ this is where the members of Virgin Airways Flying Club have written what they think of it and what they would do to improve it. The next section on the navigation bar is ‘The Facts’. This is all about the design, and how they came up with it, how it compares to other aeroplanes, the essential facts, and all questions answered. This helps people to get a good feel for the aeroplane and its features before they consider booking a flight on the newly designed Upper Class plane. If you have already booked a flight, you can check details on the Internet if you enter you departure City and arrival city. You can do this under the ‘Routes’ section. There is an ‘Offers’ section, but at the time of producing this report an offer had just finished, but another one was yet to start. If you go onto the ‘Competitions’ button on the navigation bar, you can do a quiz about the new aeroplane and if you answer them all correctly you can win a pair of tickets to New York on a Virgin Upper Class plane. The next icon is called ‘Loyalty Programme’ in this area you can sign up to become a member of the Virgin Flying Club. There is also a section called ‘E-Cards’ where you can send them to your friends, to show them how beautiful the new Upper Class Plane is. If you scroll down to the bottom of the page them you can select ‘Book a Flight’. This was unavailable when I went on there, but it was only because the site is quite new and they are just putting on the program that will aid with online flight bookings. The pages are easily navigable, and user friendly, even for those who are only beginners with computers. There are loads of pictures, and the background to the site is black and dark purple; the writing is red and white. It looks very eye catching, and would make you want to go back to the site again. They currently only go to New York, Los Angeles and a couple of other places, but the places in America they fly to is going to increase as the new improved plane flies more, and more are obviously made. You get a T.V, a bed in which they will give you bedding on request, refreshments and food available when you request them, video playing facility, and much, much more!

        I am now going to review the Britannia Airways website. When you first go onto the website you are greeted by a bright blue screen, with the word Britannica in red letters on the top left corner. There are also 2 blocks of three colours on the page. There is a picture in the middle, which changes to give you different views of the aeroplane. If you scroll down, after this there is a booking form for booking a flight. I decided to fill this in; however the airport I fly from most frequently was not on the list. (London ...
