V-Flyer

Is there any updated news on the opening date?

We flew out of lax on the 9th april and the girl at check in said 20 days or so.

around 7th May

Guess Im a little lost on why the opening date is such a secret if it's to open in the next couple of weeks?

I assume VS don't want to announce a date until they're sure they'll make it. I think it's safe to say there'll be plenty of publicity when they're ready

One might assume they would need a week or so for soft openings/test runs/ staff training, so if they don't know now, 2 weeks out, if they will make it or not, then missing the opening date is the least of their problems.
btw Craig Kreeger is still quoted on:

saying "In April, we will be opening a Clubhouse in Los Angeles for the first time."

They may be waiting for the 787 to launch on the VS7/8 before they open the CH - that way they get a double publicity hit.

But, if it's true that delivery of G-VYUM is behind schedule, who knows when that'll be.

I'm in the Virgin America loft (boo) waiting for the 8 to London. I've been told it's 10 days today it opens - 29 - Apr - but that's a secret too. It's going to be in the old Air France space in T2
