Daily flights to Cape Town are back with Virgin Atlantic

Richard Branson recently announced the return of direct Virgin Atlantic flights between London and Cape Town from November this year. For now, flights will run until the end of the peak tourist season.

“Who wouldn’t want to come to Cape Town? It’s the most special place in the world,” Branson said. “The challenge for us now is to try and get it so we can come 12 months of the year.”

Flights from London Heathrow to Cape Town will depart at 4 pm, arriving at 6 am the following morning with the return flights departing Cape Town at 7.50 am arriving back at London Heathrow at 5.45 pm. Economy return flights start from £711 on the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners.

“We’re incredibly excited to return to the fabulous city of Cape Town with daily services from November,” commented Juha Jarvinen, Virgin’s Chief Commercial Officer. “Although a little later than we’d have liked due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the move reflects the fact that travel is recovering and global demand for holidays to sunny, premium destinations is returning at pace.”

6 Things you may not know about the Queen

You probably know a thing or two about the Queen of the United Kingdom but here’s a few less talked about facts you might not have known.

  1. Our beloved Mandela was the one and only non-royal to call the Queen by her first name. “He called her Elizabeth and his affection for her was warmly reciprocated.” said Royal Commentator, Richard Fitzwilliams.
  2. Elizabeth II is Queen of the United Kingdom and 14 other Commonwealth realms.
  3. The official wedding cake for the Queen was made by McVitie and Price Ltd., using ingredients supplied by Australian girl guides in 1947.
  4. Along with corgis, the Queen also breeds labradors and cocker spaniels at the Sandringham Estate.
  5. Margaret Rhodes, the Queens cousin says the Queen drinks a gin and Dubonnet before lunch with ice and lemon. She is also known to have wine with lunch too and enjoys a dry Martini and a glass of Champagne in the evening. According to UK government rules, this could be considered as binge drinking.
  6. The Queen revealed her favourite football team was West Ham United in 2009. Her admiration for the club dates back to the 60s and 70s when Ron Greenwood was in charge.

SOUTH AFRICA’S FAVOURITE COUSIN AND COMEDIAN PERFORMING IN THE UK THIS JUNE!

After an excruciating Covid-fuelled wait, comedy is returning to stages across the world in full force.

The elastic faced, king of clean comedy will be sharing side-splitting, roll-on-the-floor laughter in London, Scotland, Ireland and Malta during June and July.

“I’ve really missed performing in person to a live audience,” says Barry. “Performing in my lounge via camera to people I couldn’t see was really awkward for me. But that doesn’t mean I wasn’t busy.”

“During lockdown I kept busy (and the wolf from the door) by turning my comedic talents to other projects. I launched Cousin Approved, a product and service video review offering whereby I make short, honest, videos with a comedic twist for companies to use on their social media platforms. I also continued to develop my www.mycousin.co.za online store and enjoyed making a gazillion personalised video messages for people around the country and in fact the world, via the MyFanPark platform. But what I’m most proud of, is the online course I produced called Talk Funny which shows people how to inject their own personalised humour into their everyday interactions; check it out at talkfunny.co.za”
