Hope no one is travelling to escape the wedding...

I hear Aeroflot are doing a gulag special. no royal wedding cake, bread and water for all and a you share seats (with the pilot). equality brothers

Flying LGW-ANU on the 29th in UC....Looking really forward to this, should be great fun !

What a drama over a bit of light-hearted fun!

Wonder if BA will go on strike so they can attend their home street parties?

Last we heard of Orms, He was at the Tower with His head in a basket.

We need more Royal Weddings and public holidays.

Extra money for me to buy lovely Z tickets

It's good to know that the anti-royalists will be forgoing their public holiday to look after the country on the 29th when everyone is enjoying their day off. 8D

Damn right they should celebrate, American tourist dollars are a large part of VS' market. They come to see the queen, her 'house' all things 'British'.

We will be sipping Mojitos and waving flags in the sun for the great British recession distraction here in Dubai. oo)

I have read all the posts with great interest. I think it sounds like a great idea and wish I was travelling that day so I could enjoy all the "goodies"

I actually did. Not sure how many people will be shopping though

Several years ago I was on a flight to Miami that was celebrating Virgin's 20 or 25 years on that route, there was a party on that flight which included party hats,those things you blow into that buzz and birthday cake. One of the male CC dressed as a femail CC and thay went around the cabin taking photo's. This whole celebration lasted approx 20 mins then everything went back to normal. If the wedding party is anything like that one there won't be much to get annoyed about considering the length of the flight.

Wish I was on a VA flight that day, it sounds huge fun! V jealous. Enjoy the party!

LOL - If only the royals could move in such a way!!

I like the "original" youtube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-94JhLEiN0

If I had a 2nd wedding, I would do this for fun!

Pricked a bit of a passion of mine....It is a Union FLAG not a Union Jack (Jack is a naval term for "Flag"). !

Then again in the scheme of things etc...

Anyway I think it sounds like a bit of fun and even if the bar humbugs don't like the idea it all makes great PR - now that is a surprise for SRB...NOT! y)

Thank goodness it's not just me. It drives me absolutely crazy when our flag is called by it's wrong title arrrrgh v(

Would just love to be on one of the flights

i believe that it was agreed in parliament in the early 1900's that both Union Flag and Union Jack could be used to describe the flag.

Sounds like fun to me, I tend to think you can either love the Royals or be indifferent to them, but to be vehemently anti royalist is a little odd and possibly a little bit of self gratification.

Goodness the Christmas before last we had the crew dressed up and Christmas Dinner I am pretty sure non Christians were not queueing up to rebook on another flight because they were so offended.

PS please excuse my spelling, I am slightly dyslexic and have bad hand eye co-ordination ...and I am a bit thick

The Clubhouse on Friday had a lovely atmosphere and, whilst the staff were obviously trying to see the wedding themselves, the service was still excellent. Lots of champagne flowing.

I can't say the same for the flight though (VS15), only one member of the crew wore a hat and many of the others were miserable so and so's, one even said 'I'm Irish so I don't see why I should'. His choice I suppose but not exactly professional.

TBH any anti-royalists wouldn't have been offended as, apart from a Union flag lunchbox and naptkin, the event went unoticed.
