Fargoo and L337

Looks like there will be a lot of whistling going on , £500 per pax on a limo
Let me see if I can help you:
VS Limo home to airport £125
Airport to Hotel to airport £125
Hotel to airport £125
Airport to Hotel £125

As far as I know VS don't provide a car from the terminal to the aircraft for all their UC passengers do they?
They don't need to. Unlike BA, they bring the aircraft to the gate.

A couple of hundred K for dedicated busses wouldn't even come close to covering all the flights BA serve from LHR let alone the rest of the network.

£200k for a dedicated security channel, at which airports? That again wouldn't even touch the sides on the way down.
Re the busses, yes I think it would...again, it's only needed at Heathrow. Everywhere else manages to bring the aircraft to the gate.
Re the security, I am suggesting a similar operation to VS where the service is at check-in T3 and it is paid for by VS. The equipment is there already so it is staff costs per annum.

As neither of you seem to have flown with VS, you can check all these services on Virgin's website.
