Best time for Virgin to have come to Pakistan was when paranoid BA have pulled out in 2001, VS could have begun service form summer or autumn 2002, it would have been a good slap in BA's face.

VS 744 flying in on its own would be better, code share is like a farce.

They should try to fly direct from LHR - LHE! This routes are heavily monopolised by PIA! Even LGW wouldnt be a bad choice?
