In just under 2 years of operation, a lot has changed at VGVA. We've undergone a rebrand from Virgin America Virtual to Virgin Virtual Group, we've changed from a Crew Center to Airtable and back again, and as of December 2019 we've completely redone our VA, from top to bottom.
But one thing has remained the same. Every December, we hold our annual Christmas Mega-Event. Last year, we flew round the world in 6 legs. Now, we’re trying something new. A flyout and flyin, all in one.
Even though we are not going to accepting incoming applications due to the rebuild we have still decided to host a Xmas event for all of you with a little surprise for the Infinite Flight community once the event is complete.
The Event will take place between the following time period:
2019-12-27T00:00:00Z → 2019-12-29T00:00:00Z
The event will consist of three legs with two different routes involved with each leg starting with YPXM-YSSY/VHHH then YSSY-KLAX/VHHH-EGLL and EGLL-KJFK/KLAX-KJFK giving you many options to choose from.
Furthermore it not only Virgin airframes you can fly during the event, We have decided to give you the choice of flying with Virgin Australia/America/Atlantic , Qantas , American Airlines, Cathay Pacific , British Airways.
Please note you can sign up for more than one flight ensuring your previous flight you have signed up for would have ended by the time you embark on your next flight, therefore this means you can only sign up for one flight in every leg once!
Leg One of the event will take place on the following date:
2019-12-27T00:00:00Z
First, 4 pilots will depart Christmas Island (YPXM). 2 headed for Sydney, 2 headed to Hong Kong.
Only 4 pilots can fly the first leg so make sure your quick to sign up!
