Flying halfway across the world in a business class seat for $90 is too good to be true. But people are still keen to book a spot.

Those booking these “flights” might never leave the ground but they don’t feel short changed, as passengers on Japan’s leading “virtual reality” airline.

Virtually there: The airline says it has had a spike in demand for virtual holidays. Picture: First Airlines.Passengers have the choice of business class ¥4,980 or first class ¥5980 fares with a slight difference in catering and seats. However, all passengers are treated to the same surreal experience.

Catering is designed by destination. A menu of lamb cutlet, Puha thistle soup and Pavlova is offered on the virtual New Zealand service to Auckland. The virtual airline’s president Hiroaki Abe said business has been good, with bookings doubling since the disruption caused by the coronavirus pandemic.Source:Supplied

Australia's first pandemic election is here, and Labor hopes it's onto a winnerSix months ago, Labor narrowly survived a Darwin by-election. Five days later the NT had its first coronavirus case.
