Except you reported on none of that, minus Wi-Fi, which other airlines have.

Sir Branson often reminds me of our old good Stevie – but he’s not THAT posh as Stevie (even though he’s Sir), and certainly he’s having muuuuch more fun :)

I would cover your coffee shop if not many of the other coffee shops in your neighborhood had Wi-Fi and if the coffee you sold was delicious, yet lower-priced, than most of your competitors.

Also, if you had games, movies, music, TV, and seat-to-seat instant messaging built into the back of every chair in your coffee shop (like Virgin does), that’d definitely be interesting. Twitter would be a nice bonus, I guess.

Hehe! Wi-Fi on every flight as fares start at $109 is great news for business especially in recession.

So if I start a coffee shop with Wifi & got a twitter account CG will cover it?

I guess he was inspired by Aphex Twin (see CD cover of “Windowlicker”). You cannot deny his resemblance ;-)

Branson the marketing GURU.
He knows how to get attention from the media.
The problem is what’s next after dressing up “Like a Virgin”? Material girl?

Thanks for this article, why are people moaning so much? Variety is good and I assume they posted it due to the tech factor virgin planes have e.g. wifi etc
