| Quoting pilotanthony (Reply 37): The mood lighting isn't necessary but it looks good and looks are important to Virgin Atlantic! |
| Quoting TheAviator380 (Reply 45): To be honest I think GLA-LHR traffic is more compared to EDI-LHR. I would begin GLA-LHR before EDI-LHR. Commercial point of view GLA offer more than EDI. |
| Quoting TheAviator380 (Reply 45): In future IF Virgin trains offers cheap tickets, will be interesting to see how MAN-LHR does as ideally this MAN-LHR flight is ideal only for those who stays near MAN. |
| Quoting skipness1E (Reply 31): It's hardly a fantastic livery when they use bog standard paint rather than Virgin's standard metallic gloss. Another clue? Can't believe they called it "Tartan Lassie"! Straight off a shortbread tin for God's sake. What's the other names? |
| Quoting pilotanthony (Reply 20): WHY IS IT NOT IN THE METALLIC LIVERY???!?! why is virgin so confused, they have like 5 different liveries at the same time.... |
| Quoting Boysteve (Reply 52): What route did the aircraft take on it's way back from Singapore? How many stops? |

| Quoting virgincrew (Reply 53): I believe the paint job is metallic - I just don't think it shows very well on the pictures. |
| Quoting virgincrew (Reply 53): I believe the paint job is metallic |
| Quoting sandyb123 (Reply 51): (and a much nicer terminal too!). |
| Quoting virgincrew (Reply 53): EI-EZW MAGGIE MAY EI-DEO QUEEN OF THE COBBLES EI-EZV TARTAN LASSIE |

| Quoting pilotanthony (Reply 37): Quoting musang (Reply 30): Splitting hairs, admittedly, "but isn't it mica paint, as opposed to metallic?" Is it me splitting hairs or you? "but isn't it mica paint, as opposed to metallic?" |
| Quoting skipness1E (Reply 58): Sorry to be pedantic Sandy your spelling has let you down. It's not "terminal" it's "mall" in both cases. That is all |
| Quoting ecbomberman (Reply 50): Nevertheless, VS PLEASE put the Union Jack back on your winglets!!! The red winglet looks ugly!!! |
| Quoting 1400mph (Reply 76): I've just read that VS have to pay Lingus £1 million a week regardless of how well the routes operate Is that true ? If so seems like alot ?? |

| Quoting virgincrew (Reply 83): Well done Virgin Atlantic & Aer Lingus !! The interior of the cabin looks fantastic ! It's looks like the same leather on the seats as the Long Haul Premium Economy seats ! |
| Quoting viasa (Reply 67): An Irish aircraft with the Union Jack? |
| Quoting anstar (Reply 68): Well the EI reg aircraft will still have the lady holding the union jack on the nose! |
| Quoting LuftyMatt (Reply 69): An Irish aircraft leased by a British airline... |
| Quoting shamrock604 (Reply 70): I think we have all moved on enough not to care about an Irish registered aircraft, leased by a British airline,operating the services of a British Airline, carrying the British Flag! |
| Quoting hotplane (Reply 71): Union flag even. Union Jack is used at sea. |
| Quoting Polot (Reply 78): A million a week is incredibly excessive and likely not true, but of course VS is paying Aer Lingus something as they are wet leasing the planes. ...........So while they are likely shelling out well over a million a month total I find it hard to believe it is 4 million +. Unless Virgin enjoys being screwed. |
| Quoting rutankrd (Reply 79): The lease terms are likely Aircraft Flight crew maintenance and insurance. Further two are a sub lease so its lease costs plus profit |
| Quoting antonovman (Reply 88): I bet it wont last a year |
| Quoting hotplane (Reply 91): The inaugural flight from LHR yesterday wasn't even half full. |
| Quoting TheAviator380 (Reply 22): Fantastic livery... |
| Quoting skipness1E (Reply 98): Embarrasing IMHO Weren't they cool once? |
