CLASSIC - fits the purpose AND plugs the product. Way to go marketing people!

Ha ha ha ha :)

"Feel the Upgrade - This hypnosis takes part at the gate in the departure area to make passengers believe that they are going to be travelling in Upper Class. Passengers can spend the flight imagining that they are enjoying the Freedom menu, sitting at the onboard bar, enjoying a massage from the Inflight Beauty Therapist (IFBT) or sleeping through the flight in the Snooze Zone. For a supplement passengers can extend their hypnosis to believe they are picked up in a limo at the end of their journey!"

i guess this is one way VS decided to divert the "Can i get an OP upgrade today please please please" to " Can i get a hypnosis, please" :)

hehe

nice 4/1 press release
nice to see that SRB has a good sense of humour :)

ryanair has a "kids go free" on their main web page which is also quite funny :-)

The Mail has the Queen photographed in a bookies with her corgies.

The trouble is, some of the stuff the Mail tries to make us believe the other 364 days makes me unsure when they are trying a spoof[:(!]

I still think the best by VS was a couple of years ago - the GM butterfiles with 'Virgin' on their wings.

I flew on VS003 on 1 April, and this story featured at the end of the BBC News played just before v:port kicked in.. It had interviews with Richard Branson, Paul McKenna etc..

I meant to ask one on the attendants at the end of the flight how many had asked about it - but it slipped my mind.
