Dita Von Teese and Richard Branson Celebrate Virgin Atlantic's 10 Years of Flying to Las Vegas

Virgin Atlantic celebrated its 10th anniversary of flying between London and Las Vegas.

To mark the milestone, the airline unveiled a one-off Las Vegas-inspired flying lady on its aircraft in the iconic guise of Dita Von Teese. Sir Richard Branson, President of Virgin Atlantic, joined Dita, the world's most famous burlesque performer, to lead the celebrations on the wing of the Boeing 747-400.

Virgin Atlantic commenced the first direct flights between London and Las Vegas in June 2000 and since then has flown two million passengers between the two cities. Virgin Atlantic flies daily between London and Las Vegas with prices starting from £550. Next year the airline will commence direct flights from Manchester which will increase the number of passengers it flies to the destination by 40,000 a year.

@axlotl1031 Guess they didn't care if she was British or not but as long as she looked good?!

This does nothing for my towering jealousy of Branson, or to disprove my theory that his pineal gland crushed up and taken with vodka could be used as an aphrodisiac.

I don't get Dita in here, either. She's even less bloody British than Madonna FFS - she's from like, Flint or Gary, I forget which.
