I come back to this video all the time. The nostalgia makes my heart hurt because I’ll never fly on a VA 747 again. I love Virgin Atlantic and my very last flight was on Pretty Woman Nov 2019 in Upper Class (thanks to Nicky’s influence) I can’t wait to see what comes next for VA.

Thank you The Points Guy UK! Was emotional This 747, G-VROY (Pretty Woman) was truly special for me. It was the last Virgin Atlantic aircraft and 747 overall I've seen in person up close when it came to Montego Bay, Jamaica 🇯🇲 with Prince Harry onboard back in 2017. Funny didn't knew he was onboard till I got home and hearing it on the news. Sad to see her go!! Truly special indeed!

I remember as a young boy being totally mesmerized by the 747. We were planning a trip from Toronto to London or Manchester. My Dad knew I loved this plane so we went to the airport and walked up to our gate and what did I see? A Beautiful Air Canada 747. I said are we going on that? My Dad said yes he wanted to surprise me. I was so excited to have the opportunity to fly on this beautiful bird. If my memory is right we were diverted to Liverpool for weather I think. Liverpool was a small airport at that time and the landing was a little rough. We had to sit on the plane for a long time while they figured out how to get us off this large plane. It also took a long time for them to get the luggage off the plane. I don't think Liverpool had a 747 land there very often if ever. This would have been back in the 70's. Now my Dad and this beautiful plane are gone but the memories will always live. Thanks for bringing back some great memories.

Definitely the chance of a lifetime! Congratulations, you have worked so hard and seriously earned this!!

Thinking back on my flights on the 747 over the years, my two favorite seats were the nose in First or the upper deck in Business Class. So glad I was able to fly many times on this iconic aircraft.

So sad seeing these plane go! I flew on her 3 times in my life! I flew on her in June/July 2019 (ATL-MAN/MAN-ATL) in seat 54K and again the first time in the early 2010s from JFK. I think I was sitting somewhere between seats 26-37.

I flew pretty woman back in 2015 from Manchester to Orlando. Can’t believe it’s gone already

@Nick Nick I mean, the reason I'm so sure of it is that even here in Italy just a mere 3 months after the peak of first wave (which scared everyone shitless) you had lots of people going around for vacations. I personally know more than one who traveled around Europe regardless of coronavirus. *The first day* that the lockdown severity was reduced me and some friends had dinner reserved at one of our favorite restaurants and the place was full (as full as the regulations allowed at least). People just want this shitshow to be over and forgotten.

Love the 747. Booked flights with BA specifically to get on one in 2017 and managed to back a top deck seat too! So glad I did. Only 20 or so seats up there with 2 flight attendants. With BA's business class seat the window seat basically felt like your own little cabin!

I rode the virgin Atlantic 747-400 in 2018, it is a beautiful elegant aircraft, I loved it even though I was in economy, everyone will miss the 747

Rip the queens long live the queens u will be remebered in our hearts :(

Can barely imagine the emotions you’ve got during😺

Proud to have flown the Virgin 747, she's the most beautiful plane

I feel so happy that I had the opportunity to fly on the Queen twice in my life. One of them was almost as old as I was then (27).

What an amazing opportunity 🤩 I was very happy to see you’ve uploaded again!

You guys should try upper class in the A330-300 and the Boeing 787-9 in a video

I love 747's. flew on it in economy class (sadly, didn't get the upgrade) on korean air from ICN to LAX

I remember flying on the VA 747 back in 2012 from Gatwick to Orlando it will always be in my heart 💔

Old man Boeing did us proud with this bird, especially regarding the amount of redundancy built in to the 747. He'll be turning in his grave now knowing what the company has become, especially with the Max.

I just saw 2 of these at the Orlando international airport .

No plane will probably ever look as good as the Original 747-100

We flew back from Orlando in that very aircraft. We sat in the back row seats in the bubble upstairs. I was actually coming down with flu (not a cold - proper flu) so remember feeling unwell as the flight went on. However, flying there and back on a 747 was a great experience and we are so pleased we got to do it.

Soon we will see Jean in Economy and Nicky in First Class again

These 747’s could have flown 10-15 years more, very easily. I wish that these beautiful jumbo jets didn’t have to be retired so quickly.

I have always loved the iconic look of this planes but sadly never been on one! Hope to go travelling this year for the first time since 2016! Really looking forward to it but wish it was on a 747 as that would be amazing!

Travelling upstairs in the nose of one of these really is a joy I'll never forget

Flew Pretty Woman in 2019 - MCO-MAN Seat 21A - and loved the experience. Glad I got the chance before they left VA's fleet - nothing will replace them...

I went on this registered plane to Vegas in 2012. Awesome journey returned on Hot Lips

Omg she was beautiful, the first 747 i travelled on to orlando. Rows 79 and 80 upstairs 😭😭.flew on the falcon for the last time in march 2020

I'm an MD 11 pilot and inspector. When taxing out for takeoff, seeing the B744, I'm always in awe. Beautiful machine and very sad they're leaving the skies. Still a lot of life left in those birds.

The shot standing in the engine. Unthinkable !!! It looks like the only current owners of the 747 are cargo operations. I can’t believe it has been 50 years. This will be in your memory forever.

How to fly AND maintain social distance 😝

Back in 2019 I flew to Las Vegas on a BA 777 and just as we taxied off the runway in LAS, a virgin 747 that had followed us the whole way from LGW did a nice smoky landing right outside my window. It was an impressive sight.

I went to this experience and it was honestly the best thing I’ve ever done. Feels very sad being on this aircraft for the very last time but I would definitely do something like this again

Last time I flew internationally to London, the outbound flight was on Pretty Woman, departing Orlando 23 December 2016 for a red-eye to Gatwick, returning on Hot Lips 7 January. One memory I have was back in 1999 when my brother and I were travelling as unaccompanied minors out of Miami. Towards the end of the flight, they moved us up to the first class section in the nose (this was before the fancy lie-down seats and such). Sure the A380 is bigger, but the 747 is much more iconic

I flew this plane when I was around 11 to Canada and I sat in the nose, didn’t know what it meant then but looking back it was awesome.

Forgot how it feels to fly

A few years ago I had the pleasure of flying on a virgin Boeing 747 from london to Jamaica and even tho the economy seat was very bad with terrible food and ife I still enjoyed the flight due to the plane

IIVE BEEN ON THAT EXACT PLANE AHHH😭😭😭😭

Perfect scene to recreate when flying in a *Virgin* Atlantic plane: Old Lady: Nervous? Ted: Yes. Old Lady: *First time?* Ted: No, I've been nervous lots of times.

Sure do miss the Queen. Last time i flew her was back in January 2019 with BA from Cape Town all the way to Los Angeles via LHR. Sat in the tail in Economy and I'll definitely say : despite it being a very very long journey, flying for 24 hours on the 747 was something to remember

Flew VA's B747 from LHR-JFK in 2012

Rip b747 the jumbo jet of the 90's

You can fly on a 748 with Lufthansa or Korean air quite easily. An experience worth seeking out.

Return of the kings!

So no one is allowed to use the elevator, but what happens to the items when they reach the lower deck? Is someone there to take receipt of them or is there an automated process that takes place? Perhaps I missed this part of the video, so some clarification would be welcome.

Flew on this exact plane in August 2019 to Orlando.

FINALLY A VIDEO IT HAS BEEN MONTHS

i was in tears when he showed the first class area because i flew I'm first class with virgin so I'm very sad to see it gone.

I got the chance to fly pretty woman from Orlando to Manchester and brabaela from Manchester to Orlando an fantastic experience

A rare seat booking regret was flying the 747 on Business but choosing upstairs because I thought being upstairs on a plane (and backwards) was cooler. Should have done the nose

Great share friend

Genuinely suprised samchui was not invited to film his favourite plane. Considering its also one of last few remaining B744s.

Great video - I was on that day with you. How special it was. Didn’t realise that was you.
