Richard Branson, the eccentric billionaire owner of Virgin Atlantic Air, lost a bet to Tony Fernandes, the owner of Air Asia. Consequently, he must serve as a flight attendant on an Air Asia international flight:
Branson made the wager with Lotus racing team principal Tony Fernandes , who owns Air Asia, over which of their Formula One teams would go better this season.
The loser had to serve as a “stewardess” on the winner’s airline.
Although neither of the men’s teams scored a point in their debut season, Lotus slightly outperformed the Virgin.
Fernandes said today “it’s time for Richard to start preparing himself for some hard work and the likely pain of a pair of high heels.”
The date of the Kuala Lumpur-London flight has yet to be set, but seats will be auctioned off and money given to Branson’s chosen charity.

Flight attendants on board a Cebu Pacific Airlines flight remixed Katy Perry and Lady Gaga in their unique presentation of their jet’s safety features:
Candice Iyog, vice President of Marketing at Cebu Pacific Airlines, said: “Cebu Pacific has always been known as a fun airline, we wanted to get the message across to our customers that flight safety doesn’t have to be boring.
“This was an experiment that we hope to repeat and also a chance to showcase the talent of some of our cabin crew staff.”
The performance took place while the plane was at cruising altitude, with the cabin crew giving a normal safety demonstration before take-off.
