With a top speed of 670 mph that might make the flight to Florida a little quicker.
Although I can't see Virgin using these for Florida, at least intially. I reckon they'll be doing the Australian routes and similar long long haul.

Can you imagine how long it will take to get your luggage if your suitcase is the last off of this monster...[:O]

Then again Brizzle, Virgin fly 2 flights a day from Gatwick at the moment. 3 Flights a day on Fri Sat & Sun thru the summer this year. So it would make sense for them to use them when it uses less fuel than one 747.
