This is Virgin Atlantic's latest advert. We first saw it on television the other day. The new one appeals more to a worldwide audience as the previous "80s" ad - well, not everyone "got it" unless you were a Brit lol.
Anyway, it succeeded in making me smile and I don't think it is sexist at all. Quite the opposite, actually.
I've never travelled on a Virgin Atlantic 'plane but, put it this way, the next one I fly on WILL be a Virgin Atlantic 'plane as there's absolutely no way I'd risk a tinpot Ryanair bone-shaker (and I hear they're planning trans-Atlantic flights, God help us all)!
I'd LOVE a pair of those red, high shoes too. They're fab!
Enjoy!

Love the advert! I have not been to any Virgin Atlantic flight but surely am interested to be in one. Not only with Virgin Atlantic but also I wanna fly with Virgin Galactic and soon their cruise below the sea... :D

Have seen their prototype submersible in you tube a couple of months back. If my memory serves me right, it is from the Virgin group. :D

That for the link because it was lovely to view the Virgin Atlantic advert. It must have cost them a lot to make that wonderful advert. I have flown on Virgin Atlantic a few times. I flew on them when I was 20 years old on the first leg of my around the world journey. That was on the flight from London to Los Angeles. Last year I flew from London to Cape Town return on Virgin Atlantic. I was traveling with my disabled son and I was 18 weeks pregnant with my baby daughter. Going out to South Africa there was a five hour delay due to fog. Virgin Atlantic are brilliant when traveling with a child or baby. The staff and very friendly and helpful. This year I regretted choosing to travel on British Airways. I bought a flight from London to Vancouver return and they kept having strikes. Then the volcanic ash happened and I felt nervous about if my flight would happen or not. Luckily I did fly off fine with my disabled son and baby daughter. When I book a long haul flight I will choose Virgin Atlantic if they go there. Traveling with my children I like decent flight times like not arriving late at night and a non-stop flights are excellent.
