Tickets Now On Sale for Sir Richard Branson's In-Flight Drag Performance

There�s less than a month to go until Richard Branson finally walks down the aisle�of an airplane�dressed head to toe as a flight attendant. We�re just wondering if he�s going to sport those snazzy new heels that are on their way to his ladies at Virgin Atlantic.

What happened was he lost a bet with Air Asia's CEO Tony Fernandes regarding whose F1 racing team would have a better 2010 season. Team Lotus did a little better, so now Richard Branson gets to dress in drag and serve drinks on an Air Asia X flight from Kuala Lumpur to London. We like that the man is true to his word and recognizes that a bet is a bet, but more so that he has a great sense of humor.

All the proceeds from the flight are going to charity, and the tickets are now on sale. The plane is set to depart on May 1. AirAsia is selling all kinds of package deals complete with hotels and airport transfers, but if you just want to fly the skies with Richard Branson as your flight attendant, tickets start at roughly $7,600 per person.

If you can�t make the flight�or afford it�there�s always an option to join Tony and Richard the following day at a meet and greet at the Putrajaya Marriott Hotel & Spa. Tickets to this event are running around $600 per person, but if you can swing the price tag, just remember that it�s all going to charity. We�ll be sure to pass along the pictures as soon as we can find some!
