I wanna work for a company that flies me VS UC! And how did you get there?
Thankyou

Get your company to join the FlyingCo 'club', negotiate a discount for making Virgin the airline of choice over their routes, mention to your company flight bookers the 'free' limos (it all helps) and then the piece the resistance... UC is the same price or cheaper than business class elsewhere, so you get back more refreshed and productive (no more days off after the red eye back from NYC).
Then you can work for the sort of company you'd like to work for. It all makes such sense...

Ahh, theres a challenge for you. No one help them either, work out who I work for - theres plenty of clues if you look round the forums.
PM me when you think you know the answer!
To answer your question, I'm 23 have been at my curent company for nearly 5 years now. I travel in W normally for work.
The photo relates to a trip to our annual tech conference last year, I used miles for a one way UC award,a nd then used the travel allowance for a one way revenue return in W.
A substantial part of my VS travel is personal though, like having my haircut in the LHR Clubhouse..
Thanks,
Richard

Chris,
your'e feeling old? My first flight was in a Viscount,(nice big leather seats as I recall) but my 2 year old looks at PE and UC as the norm! When we fly budget into Europe, he is decidedly not impressed

:D

My 2nd & 3rd flights were on a Viscount (Tangiers/GIB/Tangiers 1973) as the BEA Trident could not land at GIB because of cross winds it had to go into Tangiers then we were shuttled across.
The first thing my 13 year old daughter asks is what class what lounge if it's Y she is not a happy camper.She went to Florida with her school at easter on North worst Airlines and was amazed when the school party was directed to the back of the bus,probably my fault for telling her I was sure they would be travelling first class;)

Hey I said no one help - challenges are there to be conquered - just as Windows are to be opened.

You could start by writing a GUI called Bob

Well going on the price list for Boeings -
http://www.boeing.com/commercial/prices/747-400 at worst will be $211m, and then after paying the other fee's - we'll call it $250m. So what about the remaining $59.75bn left over?

Thanks,
Richard

Hi Decker,
Seen that before, but it still makes me laugh!
The whole tone and humour level is spo-on.
Thanks,
