Photos: Virgin Atlantic Gives First Look Inside Its New Dreamliner
By Ben Mutzabaugh, USA TODAY | Oct. 25, 2014

Virgin Atlantic flew its first Boeing 787 Dreamliner to Atlanta to show off the new aircraft in the hometown of its new partner Delta, which owns a 49% in the carrier.

Virgin Atlantic, founded by British tycoon Sir Richard Branson, doesn't launch regular service to Atlanta until Sunday (Oct. 26), and those flights will be on Airbus A330 aircraft - not on the Boeing 787. Virgin Atlantic's first regularly scheduled Dreamliner flights will come Tuesday (Oct. 28), when the airline puts the 787 on its route between London and Boston.

But, in the style of its media-savvy majority owner Branson, none of that stopped Virgin Atlantic from making a flashy display of its newest jet Friday in Atlanta.
