Hey that's cool Pix. Which aircraft will they be using? Will it be a nice new 346, or one of those multicoloured, tatty, old 343's?;);)[}:)]

I thought they were going to wet-lease a bunch of Air Atlanta 742s, but replace the tax disc holder so it showed a Virgin Nigeria logo on it...

I see from their website that people have access to an arrivals lounge at LGW, does anyone know which one they'll be using?

Now now sailor99. I bet they use a hotel for the arrivals lounge. Sorta funny to offer to VK but not VA. Maybe the thought is that VK UC passenagers are business people and VA are pleasure.

I know internet identities have been a little fluid of late Benjamin, but ade99 is not me - honest:)

I hear there is a special promo fare basis that includes a FastTrack voucher for passengers travelling in Y or W.

FareBasis - MALIK

Thanks,
Richard

Just to say, at LGW at the moment and the Virgin Nigeria plane is sitting atb the gate (picture taken)
Doe sthis mean that Gatwick is now Nigerian Malkifix??

Saw the Virgin Nigeria flight this am when i was at LGW for my flight to PRN. All parked up beside 3 other VS at the satellite.

Incidently I saw one transaero 742 parked up in the hanger. Just wondering if this was another one of the ex VS fleet that they aquired or the original one back for for a quick service.
