The airline and Virgin Holidays has teamed up with NYC & Company and the Alliance for Downtown New York for the special service to fly hundreds of Britons to New York for World Pride 2019.


It will be staffed entirely by LGBT+ pilots and cabin crew and will feature special on-board entertainment including a DJ, drag-queen bingo and a Judy Garland singalong.


There will also be inter-seat speed dating and a range of special in-flight entertainment.


World Pride 2019 will be the first to be held in the United States and will celebrate the 50th anniversary of New York City’s Stonewall Uprising, a pivotal moment in LGBTQ history.
