New airline launches free flights with champagne and massages – but there’s a catch

AN AIRLINE is offering passengers a free flight plus champagne, massages, and even an IV drip – but only the most popular people will get onboard.

Willa Air has launched a flight taking just 12 passengers to music festival Coachella, and it’s specifically for influencers and online content creators.

As well as a seat onboard the private jet, passengers will have access to a pre-flight champagne bar to help them kick off their trip in luxury.

Then at the end of the festival, passengers will be whisked away to detox at Willa’s Venice Beach lounge in Los Angeles, where they’ll be given massages, IV drips and fresh juice from a juice bar.

Willa is an online payments company that caters for influencers and social media content creators, and it’s extending that to its airline.

Although the airline doesn’t specify that applicants need a certain number of followers to be in with a chance of winning a seat, the company said it will prioritise people who use its services.

So if you’re Instagram famous or got a load of followers on Tiktok, you’ve got a much higher chance of bagging a seat onboard.

The flight leaves from Los Angeles on April 15, so if you are one of the lucky winners, you’ll need to get yourself there.

You’ll also need to be quick though as applications close on April 8 and can be made on the Willa website.

The airline specified that winning a seat on the plane doesn’t come with a ticket to the festival.

If you fancy sipping free champagne on a plane without forking out for first class, a flight attendant has revealed how to get first class freebies onboard.

Rachael Sullivan explained it’s all about what you wear – as she and her husband both wear a t-shirt suggesting they are travelling for their honeymoon.

She said that every time the pair wear them when they fly, they get given free champagne and snacks.

However, a bride-to-be has warned you should never lie to get free upgrades as there’s an easy way you can get caught out.

Louise explained that hotels and airlines are getting wise to the fact that people fib to get freebies, and revealed holidaymakers are being asked to prove they’re telling the truth by providing their wedding certificate.
