Virgin Atlantic celebrate a milestone this week with being in our city for the last 25 years. Some interesting facts we didn't know about Virgin Atlantic: since 1986, the airline has flown a total of 67 million miles to and from Miami to London, has served clientele with over five million of their signature meals and ice cream and passengers have enjoyed 165,000 bottles of champagne, which equates to 990,000 glasses served.

During the 2 day celebration, with a welcome reception at Miami International Airport, VIP dinner at The Villa by Barton G., Miami Vice themed press conference at the Mondrian and charity event at the Raleigh hotel, Sir Richard Branson knows how to do it right.
