Virgin Atlantic launches special NYC World Pride flight for 2019
Virgin Atlantic is launching a unique flight to take you to the World Pride event in New York next June.
This will be a flight like no other, it’s fair to say. Staffed entirely by LGBT+ pilots and cabin crew, it will be hosted by Tituss Burgess – a Broadway musical actor and star of the Netflix show Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt – and will feature special guests and live performances. It will include an on board DJ, ‘Drag-Queen Bingo’, a Judy Garland singalong, inter-seat speed dating and special in-flight entertainment.
A portion of ticket sales from the flight will be donated to The Attitude Magazine Foundation in the UK. Further fundraising and raffles will take place on-board.
The flight departs from Heathrow to Newark on 28th June. Flexible return dates are available.
Flight-only information is on the Virgin Atlantic website here. Economy seats start at £380 so there doesn’t seem to be any surcharge for the entertainment, given that June is approaching peak season. You can only book by telephone.
Flight plus hotel packages are available via Virgin Holidays.
