That title has just made my day, thanks!

(because it's funny, not because I'm seeking virgins, before you wonder about my mental state!)

yeah I read the title and thought it was some sort of link to a singles site he'd found.

They've been threatening to this for years but nothing ever comes of it, so I wouldn't get your hopes up.

Let's hope so as more competition could potentially affect prices but I won't be counting my chickens.

Virgin did actually fly to Canada several years ago. They used to operate to Toronto and Montreal, the service was not popular so they pulled out. I would love them to have more routes into Canada, hopefully this time they are successful giving it a go on the other side of the country.
