“I was sitting in economy on a Freddie Laker flight, next to this very attractive lady, as we headed to Los Angeles,” said the boss of Virgin Atlantic.
“We got chatting and it went a bit further. And it was every man’s dream, to be honest. I was about 19,” the tycoon boasted.
“I remember getting off the plane and she turned to me and said, ‘Look, it’s slightly embarrassing but I am meeting my husband at arrivals, would you mind holding back a bit.’ But it was a memorable flight.
“The problem with plane loos generally is that they are very small, and the acrobatics can’t take too long because there’s no room and people start banging on the door,” Branson explained.
“What I remember vividly is seeing four handprints on the mirror as we finished, and thinking I’d better wipe them off.”
Does this mean we have the okay to join the club on Virgin flights? Actually, I can see this being his next marketing campaign. Bigger toilets, complimentary condoms, separate toilets for people actually using them for the more traditional purpose, and little badges like you used to get as a kid to pin on your shirt. Remember the little set of wings you used to get, to show you were an airplane traveling veteran?
