Inaugural Flights

hi guys

this is a strange question for you all! sorry! What happens on Inaugural flights with Virgin do they have special things organised for the first flight, or has anyone been on the first flight of any route? I got an invitation today to go on one and am not sure what it is all about.

any informaiton would be great!

hope you are all well

I guess at the very least you'll get to fly with SRB and a bunch of other VIPs. Maybe a speech or two at either end, a photo op, and perhaps good hospitality.

Where are you going?

hey
thanks for your reply, well my dad sais at his office today that he got some invites for a new route next year that is opening up, but was not sure if ti was worth going or not so before we decided i was going to ask you guys as you always have such good information and a lot more knowledge than i do on these things.

Hi Jon,

Thats good news, you are very lucky. You must let us have all the details when you see the invites. Hey, you could even post a scan of one to the site so we lesser mortals can see what one looks like!

Jon

Absolutely agree with what Bazz says - it'd be great if you could share the information from the invites with us!

Cheers

Michael

Hey guys

I will get the information for you from my dad. He said they arrived today and when he gets back i will find out more for you.

Iam going on the first new Las Vegas route at the of October with bmi and that should be fun! I really like bmi compared to BA Sorry! My dad woudl kill me for saying that though!

There are normally two inaugural flights, one is normally around a week before and is with SRB, press and special invited guests, the flight has lots of entertainment on board and once arrival there is a big party.

The second one is the first revenue flight for full fare paying passengers!

Thanks Declan, so Jon must be lucky enough to get a ticket for the VIP flight then as they don't send invites for revenue flights.
