Virgin Atlantic announces “Pride Flight”

Lucky passengers on a flight from London to New York will be experiencing the flight of their lives with Virgin Atlantic’s ‘Pride Flight’. The one-off experience will be a celebration of LGBTQ culture & coincides with the 50^th anniversary of the Stonewall riots, which have  often been credited for initiating the gay rights movement.

The flight, launched in collaboration with ‘Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt’ star Tituss Burgess, will have a LGBTQ crew and promises to be ‘a true celebration of queer culture at 38,000ft above the Atlantic’. Entertainment includes an on-board DJ, Drag Queen Bingo, inter-seat speed dating and Judy Garland karaoke!

A portion of ticket sales will also be donated to The Attitude Magazine Foundation.

Mark Anderson, Global LGBT lead for Virgin said: ‘We’re not the type of company to mark an occasion like this half-heartedly and we’re going to be pulling out all the stops to ensure the Pride Flight is delivered with a large serving of Virgin flair.

‘We take our commitments to diversity and inclusion seriously, but you can rest assured we have a lot of fun along the way. This is going to be a show-stopping, ground-breaking, one-of-a-kind experience that we can’t wait to bring to the skies next June.’
