Oh, I sure do love Virgin Atlantic. Today they came out with a fun promotion they're calling "#ABBA," or "Anyone But British Airways."

You may all worship at my feet now.

Paul,
Everyone knows that VS is a fun airline.
You would be happier on BA where everyone is so old they sleep all the way
@TravelinWilly - you've made my day. I didn't see them live (not because I'm too young, just didn't have the chance) but work just up the road from the Melbourne town hall where they stood on the balcony waving to the AUS crowds. Apparently we saw and loved them first ...
