Virgin Atlantic and Women Over 50 Film Festival launch new season of dementia-friendly short films
Virgin Atlantic customers can now watch a new collection of dementia-friendly short films curated by Women Over 50 Film Festival (WOFFF), as the airline continues its partnership with the festival for a third year. The new collection marks the third year of the partnership and will be available throughout the year on Virgin Atlantic’s in-flight entertainment platform, Vera. The films have been selected to offer a calm, engaging and accessible viewing experience for passenger’s people living with dementia, who may find full-length films, complex plots or fast-paced editing harder to follow during a flight. The collection can also support families, friends and carers travelling together by offering a shared viewing experience that feels gentle, manageable and inclusive.

How I Beat The WestJet Strike (And Virgin Atlantic’s Cancellation Fees)
If you have met me or read anything I have written before, you probably know that I travel to unconventional places by unconventional routes, and I like to squeeze as much travel as possible out of my points. I measure redemptions against the money I would have actually spent, rather than an airline’s fake $11,000 retail fare. This is how I often end up flying an airline like Uzbekistan Airways in Seat 31B. They have a fantastic safety video, by the way.
