Richard Branson will don a red Air Asia uniform and high heels after losing a wager with AA's chief executive Tony Fernandes.
The pair had both placed a bet at the beginning of the F1 championship, agreeing that the one whose team lost would serve as a "stewardess" on the winner's airline. Although both teams completed the season with zero points Fernandes' Lotus team were placed ahead of Branson's Virgin Racing in the rankings, thanks to their better race finishing positions. Fernandes said:
"We have had this great bet running all season and now it's time for Richard to start preparing himself for some hard work and the likely pain of a pair of high heels."
Sir Richard will work on a Kuala Lumpur to London flight, seats for which will all be sold in an on-line auction for charity. Fernandes added:
"The date of the flight will be announced very soon and the aim is to raise as much money as we can for a good cause so the discomfort Richard will go through is worth as much as it possibly can be."
AirAsia is Southeast Asia's biggest budget carrier and one we use almost exclusively as we travel around this fabulous part of the world.
