Live Blogging Virgin America Flight 200: Sir Richard Branson, David Cush, and a Planeful of Airline Junkies: The Perrin Post on Truth.Travel from Conde Nast Traveler

Here's Wendy with Richard Branson, flying Toronto-bound earlier today on one of Virgin America’s first international flights. During the course of the SFO-YYZ flight, she had the fantastic opportunity to sit down with Richard and ask some of the questions you shared on this blog last week. Richard was more than happy to take the time to answer them (flying at 35,000 feet, there's really nowhere to run!) and, starting tomorrow, Wendy will begin posting the winning questions, plus exclusive video.

In the meantime, you can read more about Virgin America Flight 200 below.

Consumer News Editor Wendy Perrin live-tweeted her ride on Virgin America's celebratory flight to Toronto today, onboard with Sir Richard Branson and rapper (and Canadian!) Drake. When the flight, Virgin America 200, had only just departed San Francisco International, Wendy had already uncovered some news:

"Richard Branson says @VirginAmerica will soon be flying to Mexico--specifically, to Cancun and to Cabo."

Wendy also emailed us some photos from the airport and even from mid-air, thanks to the airline's in-flight Wi-Fi connection:

There's Wendy with Gavin Newsom. "Newsom said SFO airfares have dropped by 1/3 since Virgin America came to town," Wendy e-mailed. "Newsom and Schwarzenegger are both huge VX fans. They love all the jobs and business it brings to California, as well as the airline competition it brings, which of course means lower fares for travelers."
