It was a different kind of in-flight entertainment for those who boarded a Virgin Airways airways flight from Barbados to Gatwick, when the passengers which consisted mainly of holiday makers, agreed to be part of a competition organised by Virgin Group boss, Sir Richard Branson.
Each row was given a roll of toilet paper after an explanation to the passengers that they had to pass it over their head to the next person, unravelling it as they went.
The winning rows got their toilet roll all the way to the other end of the plane without it breaking.
According to him, game was to learn a lesson. "Here’s where the lesson came in (learning can be fun!): the teams that tried to hurry too much went too fast and ended up with broken tissue paper. The teams that took it slow and steady – like the famous tortoise – won the race. Regardless, everybody had a blast", he wrote.
Sir Branson who was enroute Gatwick to launch a greener fleet of planes which are expected to be launched in 2019.
According to information on the Virgin website, the aircraft is designed to be 30 more fuel and carbon efficient than the aircraft it replaces in the fleet and is expected to reduce the airline’s noise footprint at its airports by more than half.
