Virgin Planes

[Goofyish]

Does anyone know what Virgin planes are flying out of Gatwick to MCO at the moment?

The one we had last trip has been transfered to Icelandic Air (Wild Thing).

Cheers

They're using the new 747 400's. Great planes, shame about the legroom. Was Wild Thing one of the older 200 series?, how did you get that bit of info about icelandic air getting it? I saw a photo of that big aircraft car park in the nevada desert & noticed 2 of the older virgin jumbos mothballed there.

Hi Tim

When we went to Barbados a couple of weeks ago we went out in "Hot Lips" and back in "Barbarella".

English Rose and Ruby Tuesday were parked next to them when we got back, so maybe one of them was for mco.

I got the Virgin plane info from this site:

Very interesting site

Just got back yesterday.

We flew out on English Rose (11.15) and came back on Pretty Woman (20.40)

Shame I can't get on Lady Penelope though!

In all our trips with virgin, we have never experienced the "complete games system" to entertain the youngsters. Do any of the Orlando flights have the games system?

Shame I can't get on Lady Penelope though!

I know what you mean!

A childhood fantasy revealed

"You are now boarding Lady Penelope..."


Also reminds me of that cheesy old joke.

Lady P: "Parker, I'd like you to remove my dress."
Parker : "Yes, M'Lady"

Lady P: "Parker, roll down my stockings"
Parker : "Yes, M'Lady"

Lady P: "Parker, take off my knickers"
Parker : "Yes, M'Lady"

Lady P: "And Parker..."
Parker : "Yes, M'Lady"
Lady P: "Don't ever let me find you wearing my clothes again! "

They tend to use these planes for the more profitable business routes. New York etc not Orlando

 

[kylie]

still doesn't stop them from advertising it

I've flown on one of the fancy pants planes on the Orlando route once!
