Sir Richard Branson has arrived in Los Angeles on the inaugural flight of Virgin’s newest airline V Australia. From Friday, V Australia begins its non-stop Sydney to LA flights three times a week. It will also allow travellers for the first time ever to fly around the world on the same airline carrier.

As part of the inaugural celebrations, Sir Richard hosted a star-studded launch party last night at Chateau Marmont in LA. This follows the Sydney launch celebrations on Thursday night, where celebrities including singer Natalie Imbruglia were among the 800 guests at the harbourside party.
The flight also coincides with an 8-day journey around the world as part of Virgin Atlantic’s 25th birthday celebrations this year, which will see Sir Richard travel from London, Hong Kong, Sydney and LA, before returning to London. Over the course of the trip Sir Richard will be on the search for his best ‘look-a-like’, as part of a global competition to celebrate Virgin Atlantic’s anniversary.
