Virgin Atlantic has a surprise for passengers who steal its salt and pepper shakers from flights

Passengers who steal Virgin Atlantic‘s in-flight salt and pepper shakers may be surprised when they return them. According to the airline, the airline’s iconic tableware frequently finds its way into travellers’ hand luggage due to its cute design of cartoon-like planes on little feet. The fun shakers are available in silver, gold, and black and have become something of a collector’s item.

Caught red handed? ?

Virgin Atlantic posted the cryptic message alongside a photo of its gold shakers with a plane in the background. However, one user quickly solved the mystery by replying to the post with a winking face emoji and a photo of an upturned shaker to reveal a secret message.

“I might or might not have black, silver, and gold!” said one. “Looking forward to ‘borrowing’ some more in less than five weeks!” wrote one, while another added, “They may have accidentally fallen into my bag while tidying up after dinner…. eight times.”
