Has been down for a while, I tried at lunch and just didn't get anything, not even a holding page informing of it being down.

is the main VS web site down?>

I wonder how many bookings are made per hour on the Web site ... say 5m passengers per year (5.77m in the year to February 2009) and 50% book online and 70% of these during peak hours of the UK day (0800 to 2000) then that's about 400 per hour.

Say the average ticket price for these 400 is £500 (across all cabins, routes and fares, probably low) then that's £200k per hour.

Lot's of assumptions there, but if anything like true VS have just lost several hundred thousand pounds, although almost all will wait and book later.

On this basis, the bean counters who stop VS's Web team designing, deploying and operating an excellent Web site need shooting ): .

Oh, and it's down for me too!

I would imagine that the majority of bookings will actually go through a travel agent rather than direct to virgin's website....

(tis back up now)

Just as well I wasn't planning on booking anything just yet!
