We gain access to flights from SFO, LAS, MCO, MIA, IAD, BOS, and ORD.
My biggest concern isn't the U.S. to LHR flying, it's what happens to Africa, Asia, and Caribbean flying. We could fly virtually all of our European/Carribean customers on Virgin through LHR and we could see alot of our Asia/Africa customers on Virgin flights also. That's where we lose while we focus on just the LHR to U.S. flights.
Heard at Air France Headquarters this morning:
