Coming soon!
I am sure it's easy enough to have ads printed on the online check-in document too.
StoryDoes this trouble you? Can you see VS going down the same route?
There's something more acceptable about having an advert on a boarding card than on their website. When I go to a company's website, I don't want to see adverts for other companies. Call me old fashioned, but I really don't like it, and it doesn't really matter to me if the brands have the same values.

So will BA allow VS to advertise on its biz class cards?

Reminds me of bus tickets in the old days - with the advert on the back, usually a money off coupon.
It doesnt trouble me, I'd prefer not to have another form of advertising but it wouldnt really bother me.
Thanks,
Sarah

Ryanair currently has adverts for bmi on their website. But I'm not sure how much control they have over it as it's in a generic Google ad section. They do also carry Eurostar adverts too.

You see I don't have a problem if this actually saves me money [:D]
New York has this down to a fine art as last time I was there a city tour bus ticket had a J&R 10% off voucher on the back which I used against a new laptop [:D]
Either way you look at it - it pays the ever increasing Sales Tax.
On another visit a 1/2 price buffet at the Mariott Marquis revolving restaurant [:D]

All good until you need the boarding card to prove you were on the flight when you have a problem.
