Virgin Atlantic gets double anniversary

DELHI has celebrated ten years since the arrival of Virgin Atlantic.  It follows close on the heels of the same anniversary for the Virgin Las Vegas services.  From a twice a week start both are now daily, the big difference being that Delhi is an Airbus A340 operation from Heathrow whilst Vegas is Boeing 747 and Gatwick.  The two routes are dissimilar in other ways too.  For the Indian operation Virgin has to some extent gone native.  In all cabins three meal choices are available – one of which caters for the Indian palate and the British love of Indian food.  As part of the in-flight entertainment, in addition to box office UK film titles, Virgin offers a number of Bollywood films across a range of genres.  The in-flight entertainment is available in Hindi with English subtitles.  Las Vegas is purely leisure.  A “spot the businessman” competition would have no winners with just 14 Upper Class seats on the lower deck. www.virgin-atlantic.com
