It was definitely not my phone as we tried DH phone and our ipad as well, and the people next to us gave up as well.
Ditto from Glasgow yesterday to MCO
Tried several times and it would not connect at all even waiting several minutes... Waste of time I am afraid!

I would agree with this experience. I tried 25-30 times to connect on an MCO-LGW flight, and didn't connect once. Asked the cabin crew about it, and was told the same, that it was limited to a few that had connected first.

Me too! I distinctly remember how majestic the Virgin 747 looked when I was 8 and that was July 1988! Have the pics to prove it too! Actually, did it fly to Miami? Can't remember that bit...

Just thought people might be interested that I'm currently on VS15 en route to Orlando and have been able to keep up with emails, the football scores and the world championship athletics using the free virgin WiFi. However, my wife can't even get logged on, so it's worth keeping trying to connect as soon as you're in the air if you want to take advantage of this free offer.

Sorry your memory is playing up!

In 1986, the airline added another Boeing 747 and started a scheduled route from Gatwick to Miami. Additional aircraft were acquired and routes launched from Gatwick to New York JFK (1988), Tokyo (1989), Los Angeles (1990), Boston (1991), and Orlando (1992). In 1987, a service was launched between Luton and Dublin using Viscount turboprop aircraft, but this was withdrawn around 1990. In 1988, Club Air operated two Boeing 727 jet aircraft on behalf of Virgin. These served the Luton to Dublin route until about 1990.
