Long-Haul Flights Just Got Interesting: Richard Branson Wants Us All To “Get Lucky” On His Planes

What do you do when you spot your future husband on a plane? Well, if you’re a Virgin America passenger, you can get your flirt on at 35,000 feet with a handy new feature.

Virgin’s ‘Seat-to-Seat’ plan allows you to order drinks, snacks and meals for other passengers. All you have to do is pick their seat number from a special monitor and send them a flirty message to let them know where their free grub came from.

In this YouTube clip, Sir Richard Branson explains what it’s all about (while taking the absolute p**s out of himself in the process, legend).

“I’m not a betting man, but your chances of de-planing with a +1 are at least 50 per cent,” says Sir Richard.

You have to admit it, flight-based-flirting could make those long-haul trips a tad more interesting...
