My fisrt VS Flight?

It was LHR-ORD (and back) in late November 2000 when the was Bush president or not kerfuffle was going on. Was a cheap flight & hotel deal via teletext !

Empty flights both ways and the amenity packs made great pressies !

On the way back we were offered a 'Thanksgiving meal' though it was chicken not turkey !

Flight was stopped soon after though

1st Flight
Feb 1994 BA LGW-DUB on ATR 42 when I was 6!


1st VS Flight
09/08/2002 VS19 LHR-SFO on G-VBIG Tinkerbelle (with V:PORT!)

Not flown any other airline longhaul since! Was so impressed!

Was this the first aircraft with V:port? As I seem to remember the crew telling us it was a brand new system installed the day before and they had quite a few problems and having to keep resetting it!

Hi Duna and welcome to V-Flyer.

We flew G-VWOW in June 2002 and that had V-PORT. It had been in the fleet for 8 months at that stage.
