Coffee, tea or Richard Branson?
It's the real deal. Virgin Atlantic founder Sir Richard Branson will serve on board AirAsia X flight as a 'stewardess' on May 1.
AirAsia chief executive officer Datuk Seri Tony Fernandes tweeted 'it's official', referring to the billionaire's latest date with AirAsia X.
'Special AirAsia X flight. Seats on sale at AirAsiaGo. All money (will go) to charity. DJ and Eddie Jordan will be performing,' he continued in his tweet.
Branson had lost a bet to Fernandes and was to serve as a 'stewardess' on the AirAsia X flight from London to Kuala Lumpur on Feb 21.
However, the date was put off after the billionaire injured his knee and could not put on the high heels to go with the stewardess outfit.
Branson, who owns the Virgin Racing Team, had bet that his cars would do better than the Lotus Racing team of Fernandes.

Package 1 : Richard Branson Charity Flight + Hotel Package + Charity Cocktail Evening (5,200 GBP)
