Celebrity Interview | Danni Minogue talks Virgin Australia Personalised Hat Valet Service
We sent Ben Starr out to chat with Danni Minnogue, Channel 7 X-Factor Judge, Designer and Platinum Velocity Frequent Flyer about the unique personalized services for guests flying Sydney to Melbourne for the Spring Racing Carnival.
It is the “race that stops a nation”, and Virgin passengers will be treated with porters on standby ahead of Derby Day and the Melbourne Cup to offer eligible guests a personalised Hat Valet service, ensuring premium handling of the most important part of any race day outfit.
And to make sure that guests arrive looking immaculate there are a range of pre-flight pampering options on offer including professional blow-dries and hair styling, make-up kits by ModelCo as well as a dedicated shoe-shining service. These unique services are exclusive in Virgin Australia’s flagship Sydney Lounge and via Australia’s first premium kerbside entry, for the thousands of expected travellers heading to the racing capital of Australia.
Virgin Australia Group Executive Danielle Keighery said: “Enhancing the customer experience to the benefit of our high value guests is an important focus for the airline.
“We are delighted to be bringing the Hat Valet back as we know how important the premium handling of important fashion items can be to our guests when travelling to important events and functions. The dedicated styling services will also ensure our customers are looking their best upon arrival into Melbourne.”
Channel 7 X-Factor Judge, Designer and Platinum Velocity Frequent Flyer Dannii Minogue said: “Racing headwear is one of the most valuable pieces of any race day outfit, and the Hat Valet and unique styling services offered by Virgin Australia are a fantastic way to support fashion-savvy race goers as they make their way to Melbourne for the Spring Racing Carnival.”
