Virgin from Manchester

[MickeyMcMouse]

It's this old chestnut again.

Now that it's nearly time for this flight to start, who's going first ?

We aren't going till end of July, but it would be nice for some peace of mind to know that it is a "proper" Virgin flight.

Thanks

Yes, still 5 hours in front. The US do exactly the same as with their clocks, but about a week later.

Have fun!

We go on 23rd May and have been informed by our travel company that the plane we are using is an ex-Air Atlanta. Doesn't bother us - these are planes that we originally virgin ones, then "wet-leased" to Air Atlanta and are now being returned back to Virgin.

Could be an Icelandic crew, but as long as it gets us to Florida and back with minimal problems thats all that matters to us.

Let you know our experience when we return.

Hopefully you will find that the crew are British. Air Atlanta had an advert in the Manchester job papers a couple of months ago asking for transatlantic cabin crew. They didn't say this was for the Manchester Orlando flights but I think it is too much of a coincidence not to be.
