1st flight is this coming monday (3rd July) [8D]

It might bump up the tourism flow to Jamaica. Because if you knew better you'd know that Jamaica lives off of tourism.

Well I 'know better' and Jamaica has plenty of substancial industry outside of tourism such as bauxite/alumina, agro processing, light manufactures, rum, cement, metal, paper, chemical products, telecommunications as well as a vibrant real estate development market. It has twice the population of Rhode Island.

If your comment was a reference to poor customer service levels in Jamaica then I agree, however I found your comment to be a little offensive.

I wasnt being offensive. I am Jamaican myself so I would know....I was being general on that so let me be a little specific... I meant that Tourism in Jamaica is a big industry.

In that case you have my apologies. Growing up the phrase 'if you knew better' was one used almost entirely in arguments and I took it as such here.

The written word often isnt the best at conveying meaning.

Sorry again.

Its okay really.If I wasnt so general it wouldnt of caused such problems.

So it's in the air as we speak - so to speak

Ah yes. By the way what is the flight number I want to track it?

VS065 out VS066 in.

I hope they popped some bubbly to inaugurate this flight. I cant believe how far Virgin Atlantic has come.

I think you can rest assured they did pop some bubbly. I just hope they did not have to use the mug from the toilet to drink it from!

Haha.....popping bubbly hmm. By the way at what point in flight are amenity packs distributed and besides the IFE what can someone do? And yes I know you can drink alot of water...to not get dehydrated....but what else.

Packs near the start of the flight. As to what to do, all sorts of things: Go out on the wing for a smoke, drink a bottle of bubbly, chat to the crew at the bar, have some bubbly have a massage or other treatment, drink a bottle of babbly, go for a walk round the plane, have another bittle of bobbly, have something to eat, drunk more bibbly, fill in your immigration card, huve som moor babbly, play "hunt the content of the ameniry pack" and have a gloss off bupply.

Ah lol. What do you suggest for a minor. Since I am gonna by myself. I want to explore. ARe the F/A's strict about minors walking around or going to the bathroom numerous times?

I am sorry, I didn't realise you were a minor. The age thing can't be filled in in your profile. Yep, having a walk around is fine.

Ah lol its okay. It happens alot. I maybe get some bubbly for my self aka Sprite... Its okay though. Bubbly is good. Maybe explore a bit.

Anyone know if there is a lounge ot Monty Bay for UC passengers on return ?

G-VROC was re-positioned from LHR to cover the first flight to MBJ on Monday - Is a V-Port LHR config 744 usually used on LGW inaugurals?? [:?]

Suppose the extra UC capacity comes in handy for SRB, friends and family.

Well people too commonly forget that SRB doesnt act like the owner of the airline when he is on one of their flights. Most of the time I hear he's in economy or something like that and his kids are in Upper class when there are a few empty seats. So most of the time he's just anywhere where he can fit.

Not true,what he has been known to do is walk back to Y and talk to people,this is a great PR move,until of course he run's in to a V-Flyer who points out stuff that he has no knowledge off,just once I would love for him to be on my flight,boy could we have a conversation.
