Was just driving home listening to Virgin Radio and in one of their competitions they said that you can win a trip to Chicago and flights are direct with Virgin Atlantic. Has anyone else heard this?

I've not heard this either. Currently just lots of world cup ticket competitions!

Apparently there is a flight to Chicago next month and it is just a promotional flight. There is also talk on cabincrew.com that Chicago and Toronto are more than just a rumour and that Toronto will be from LGW. Also MEL via DXB.

YYZ was from LGW when VS started that route anyway.

Be interesting to see what A/C VS would use for YYZ from LGW this time. It was B742's last time. I think they would struggle with LGW B744's as these all seem very busy now and also I dont think the LGW config would work very well anyway for somewhere like YYZ [:?]

good point.

Cannot see more 747's coming from LHR - especially with the delay on the A380's

Maybe a new order to cover this expansion?

My guess would be a LHR A343.
