That`s the main reason we do it Keith whenever we can. [In addition to the extra baggage allowance which comes in very handy on the return leg.]
Being able to lie down on a full length bed after dinner is fabulous. [There`s no way that I would actually pay for that comfort though.]

2013 Mick, they originally had ordered it with great fanfare for 2006 but because of the ongoing delays it ended up being scheduled for 2009. Virgin postponed the order until 2013 saying they wanted to see it prove itself first.
They're due to take delivery of Boeing 787-9 in early 2011 as far as I remember which is quite an interesting plane in itself although perhaps not as revolutionary as the airbus.
I'd prefer Boeing any day of the week anyway
