Virgin Atlantic Boeing 747-400 | VS16 Orlando to London Gatwick | My 1st 747 Flight | 11.15.2019

I can finally say I have flown on the Boeing 747 Queen of the skies before retirement from commercial aviation, at least the 400 series. I went out of my way by booking this flight with Virgin Atlantic through Delta Air Lines since I missed flying with Delta or United before they were retired from their fleets. I am very happy Delta Air Lines and Virgin Atlantic code share so I was able to accumulate more Skymiles on my first flight to Europe. If you are an aviation enthusiast and haven't flown on the Queen yet, I suggest you do so if you have the means to!
