DAMN.....

Virgin America, the California-based airline, marks the launch of its first international destination with a celebrated flight from California to Toronto, complete with a party hosted by Virgin Group Founder and Provocateur-in-Chief Sir Richard Branson and hip hop newbie and Toronto native Drake. Virgin America's low-fare, high-tech service injects new competition into the Canadian market with twice daily flights from San Francisco International (SFO) and Los Angeles International (LAX) to Toronto Pearson International (YYZ). Although the airline's service begins June 23, the celebrated flight takes place on June 29 due to G8/G20 events.

Despite missing the G8/G20, Virgin America's Toronto launch may just cause its own international incident. Some of the airline's first Toronto guests will enjoy cocktails, music and a mile high party under the airline's signature moon lighting as they cross the border in style. Upon touchdown of Virgin America's "Air Drake" in Toronto, flight guests including Drake fans who scored a fly-away trip to the West Coast and a seat for one of the hottest tickets in the skies, will receive an international welcome with a Virgin twist: a bottle popping arrival reception on the arrival tarmac. Flight guests will mingle with Toronto VIPs and toast the new service on touch-down with Mumm Napa® Sparkling Wine from California's Napa Valley....

So this is what the new rap artists have to compete with when they get into the game now? DAMN!
