Morning all, looking back at some old pics last night got me wondering, in the near future (next 12-18 months), do we think Virgin will return to Gatwick ?

If my memory serves me right, the plastic bags / liquid restrictions were 2006, after the so called "liquid bomb" attempt that was foiled. The perpetrators had planned to take liquids that alone would not look sinister onboard transatlantic flights. When onboard, the liquids could be combined to create something with explosive properties.

I appreciate that JetBlue will have Y and J, but it still all seems a bit niche compared to what they did with the JFK-LAX market with Mint originally.

I think they will do a good job, and I am eager to give them a go, but I'm just not sure what their game plan is, especially flying a route as dense for O&D traffic as NY-LON with a 321.
