Platinum Airways goes for a September Detox

Published September 13, 2013 | By editor

Platinum Airways, the very virtual Open Skies airline, has announced its September Destination of the Week theme. Following its nine Great Gigs in the Sky during the summer holidays, Platinum Airways is taking its pilots to four leading Detox and Wellness centres in as many continents.

Platinum Airways’ summer holidays have been particularly exhausting for its DOTW regulars, with thousands of miles covered to visit leading music festivals around the world. That led to the September theme: Detox. We are convinced that our pilots urgently need to recharge their batteries, and what better way to do that than to visit four leading detox and wellness centres. We took our guidance from four leading publications and organisations, such as Forbes Magazine and Condé Nast.

Detox starts at the SHA Wellness Clinic in Spain’s Alicante region and its obvious Alicante-Elche Airport (LEAL). The second detox treatment will take place at The Farm near San Benito in the Philippines. The best access to that centre is via Clark International Airport (RPLC). Third up is the One&Only Spa Reethi Rah on the Maldives, which takes us to Ibrahim Nasir International Airport (VRMM). We end Detox with a visit to the Indian Himalayas and the Ananda Spa, near Jolly Grant aka Dehradun Airport (VIDN).

DOTW missions qualify for a 5% bonus if completed within the allotted time span. They come with charts, links to scenery files for FS9, FSX and X-Plane if available, and a selection of YouTube videos.

We wish our pilots a relaxing DOTW month.

About Platinum Airways:
Keen to deliver on its mission to keep the fun in the hobby, Platinum Airways is probably the only virtual airline to combine an Open Skies policy, allowing its pilots to fly any mission of their choice with the aircraft of their choice at the time of their choice, with a strategic hub network. The carefully selected hubs, Newark (KEWR), Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW), Vancouver (CYVR), Perth (YPPH) and Brussels (EBBR), should be attractive to a global membership. In addition, Platinum Airways offers its pilots an often cheeky Destination of the Week, Relief, Military and Cargo missions and a soon to be launched Flight Dispatch division. Sticking to the KISS principle (Keep It Straight and Simple), Platinum Airways hosts an active forum and a screenshot of the week competition, with the winner providing the main picture on its home page for the next week.
