Spice Girls in Virgin flights deal

12 April 2012

Virgin Atlantic will fly the Spice Girls around the globe for their comeback world tour as part of a deal, it has been announced.

It is the airline's first such tie-up with a band.

Emma, Victoria, Geri, Mel B, and Mel C will get free flights and be involved in other promotions as part of the deal.

Virgin Atlantic president Sir Richard Branson said: "Virgin signed the Spice Girls 12 years ago and I got to know them at that time."

He added: "So we are absolutely delighted to be working with the Spice Girls on their reunion tour and really pleased to have the honour of taking the girls out to LA for their rehearsals, but even more importantly bringing them back to the UK for the British leg of the tour."

It is not yet known whether David Beckham, the other band members' partners and their children will fly with them during the tour.

The Spice Girls reunion world tour starts next month.
