Not so Undercover Boss…
Who got the armrest?
He didn’t have private jet ?
Glad to see him flying Economy with everyone else.
Big up to Richard for flying economy. He could easily afford a private jet or to fly first class, but chose not to.
He likely took this flight with the sole purpose of someone taking a photo of him sitting in economy.
Virgin Atlantic is by far the best airline I’ve traveled with
The inside of that aircraft doesn’t resemble a night club, must not be a Virgin flight.
Wow he’s just like me!
Edit: Seems some people just don’t register sarcasm.
But yes I am a billionaire who rides economy. So we are very similar.

Flying economy cause SPCE is so low
Provably observing how competition to his own airline, Virgin Atlantic, does things. Corporate spying caught on photo 😂
Damn we really are in a recession.
I thought he was still in space

I volunteered at Sundance film festival for a few years awhile back. When it was my turn to take tickets for people coming to see movies, I was told to not let anyone in, no matter who they are if they didn’t have a ticket. When Richard came in he didn’t have a ticket so I denied him entry. He was extremely polite and nice and didn’t act entitled in any way. Someone ran out and got him a ticket and chatted with me for a few minutes in the meantime. Seemed like a real nice guy.
And right after this photo-op he opened the cabin door and skydived into his private jet trailing just beneath them where he took a chemical shower to wash off the germs of the common folk with whom he was almost touching.
Why is there so many people inside Branson’s private plane?
Probably on his way to sue the NHS again.
Ah yes, Richard – the famous creator of Branson Pickle. Absolute British Icon this man. Bury him in between two toasted slices of sourdough slathered in mature cheddar
Everyone is assuming he’s on a Virgin flight, but it’s probably some other airline in a location they don’t cover.
About a decade ago I flew on a BAE-146 to Madagascar with Richard Branson sitting in economy. Fairly small and nasty Airlink flight from Joburg to Antananarivo that you wouldn’t expect a billionaire on. At the time I thought it was probably due to Malagasy rules on private flights or a lack of services in Tana. But reading the comments below it sounds like he does it for environmental reasons. That’s pretty cool. That said, I can confirm Mr. Branson doesn’t have to go through the customs and immigration line like the rest of us.
I think I would tell him he looks just like Richard Branson and he should go to a celebrity lookalike agent. And I would insist that I don’t believe it’s really him the whole flight.
For those who don’t know, he’s always flown economy class for ages.
I got to have dinner with him (and about 10 others) a number of years ago. During cocktails he asked about my family. As part of the answer, I told him my wife didn’t believe that I’d even get to talk to him. He told me to call her, which I did. I didn’t even get to say hello before he took the phone and had a 5 min conversation with her to prove I was hanging with him. Fun night. Nice guy.
this guy got some of the best quotes ever…
