There is no harm in calling VS and asking if they could pass your contact details on to her. I doubt whether they will due to data protection etc, but you never know. Good luck though, have you thought of a radio 'shout out'?

I really wouldn't bother phoning or emailing Virgin - you will simply be wasting your time and theirs.

They simply won't pass on your info to the other passenger.

Hi there,

There is a website for these scenarios. I was reading about it on the back of the Easyjet Traveller Mag while waiting for my bacon roll in mid june..

Good Luck!!

If you talked about work is there nothing she said about that that may indicate where she actually worked or what sort of company she worked in?
Promise Promise that you will let us know if you find her :-)

Just popping over to the DIBB to check out if there is any more info on there.

I am an old romantic aka a Sad Old Git.

I think the OP should contact VS. Assume that they will say NO and hope that they don't.

You never know it might be someone of a similar nature to me, "an old romantic aka a Sad Old Git", who deals with your enquiry.

Thanks for your replies.

So my options are:

.Ask VS to pass on message
.Put a message on the VS FB page
.Put my message on http://WWW.blewmychance.com, which I dought will work as unless she is looking for me, WHICH I DOUGHT VERY MUCH,
I can't see how she will see it.

I think my only hope is VS to be honest and if that doesn't work, I will have to hold my head in shame.

Keep your comments coming please :)

Try them all :) ( I never knew blewmychance existed :) ) I don't think VS will forward on your message but you never know .FB has a large following so may turn something up.
What do you know about the lady in question. A name? Age roughly? You spoke about your jobs - any clues there you could follow up on ?
If you don't have any luck let this be a lesson - seize the day!!

I love this thread. I say try all options available. I must admit I have always, when single, and flying prayed to be sitting next to a real hottie! Never worked for me...

It must be something about VS that causes all this romance! I have seen a passenger pass his number to a very embarrassed crew member but the most amusing was witnessing two 14 year olds fall in "love" on VS15 a couple of years back. Boy was in the row in front of me, girl row behind me. They started chatting at the start of the flight- said girl swapped seats with another pax to sit next to said boy 4 hours into flight and then as we were deplaning at MCO said girl asked her Mum if she could meet the boy at a park the following day!!!

Anyway as I say good luck- and I seriously doubt she had a bf- after all wouldn't she have dropped it into the conversation somehow!

Many years ago, I was in the same situation as you 747 Dude. I flew back from the USA on Laker (showing my age here). I chatted to a lovely girl in the seat next to me for quite a few hours. The difference was that I did ask for her number and hence was quite excited - and thrilled that she had given it to me.

A couple of days later, I called her number which was answered promptly by a gruff voice:
.
.
.

"Hello, Hounslow Police Station" :0

Needless to say I never did see her again. :)

Nice story Martin :)

I do think she was single as she was travelling alone and I felf like we could have been freinds after the flight.

I don't want anyone to think I only want to know her if she's my girlfreind. Thats not the case, she was a great person and I would have been happy just to keep in touch in a freindly way. If that's what she wanted.

I do know her age, job to a very limited extent and I'm 50% sure of her name. That sounds terrible doen't it ?| . However she seemed very interested in me, ie my flying, where I live etc. I know when she asked where I lived I should have asked her but you know how it is you get carried away in chatter.

I will let you know VS's reply

ps: She told me her name on her introduction which went in one ear and out the other. Not because I wasn't interested but because I was startled by her beauty. I still think I have an idea, but that's not good enough.

No, she wasn't a WPC. She told me all about her job. She said she was a make up artist in the glamour photography industry and she had to cover up those little imperfections that sometimes appear on models' bodies!

After my short call to Constable Middlesex (I hung up immediately) I wondered if the job as described was true at all. :?

Well if its meant to be it will!

Must admit, i'd probably be the same as you in the same situation - Chat away for the whole flight and forget about how to stay in contact!

Another long shot, but how about a bit of good old Facebook stalking ):

Thanks for redirecting me to The DIBB as I have had lots of support.

Cheers


Good luck - the ladies over on The Dibb seem to think it's rather lovely too :) .
Please let us know how you get on (I think you're going to have to sign up to FB in order to maximise your search though :) ).

I tried not to, but having read this thread and been in an almost identical situation myself 2 years ago, I feel compelled to post. Hopefully my story can give you hope

I know in your situation you have this uncontrollable drive to make some sort of contact, or at least I did. In my situation I was going absolutely insane as she had even given me her number and I had lost it, thinking I'd possibly lost a chance to meet my dream girl. In fact I think one of the first things I did was create a thread on here as well, can't seem to find it though.

I don't want to get anybody sacked, but if you can remember either of her names and remember her seat number, and then relentlessly (but politely) keep contacting Virgin, you may just get lucky. I was in no way expecting to (data protection etc...) and I did. 2 years on and my "dream girl" from the Upper Class bar is currently snoozing in the next room...

everyone is assuming the young lady in question would be happy with all this attention, which may or may not be the case.

It also brings back painful memories in something similar when a guy that used to be on my daily morning commute to work decided to stalk me when I told him I wasnt interested.

I ended up having to leave where I worked and move where I lived.

Do you think I haven't thought of that. This is the reason I haven't posted her possible name or Seat number etc. Nobody knows who this person is on here (not even her or mine seat number) so I think you are overreacting. I'm hardly threatening to stalk her am I, I'm simply asking whether or not Virgin will pass on a message. SIMPLE.

How could this bring back memories of someone stalking you on you're commute?

Which department did you contact?

Thanks alot :)
