There really is no exuse for this....at the least the cabin doors should have been opened to allow fresh air to come in. Virgin should be fined to the fullest extent possible if possible for this.

Virgin should be fined to the fullest extent possible if possible for this.
Unfortunately, the tarmac delay rules don't apply to international flights, so there won't be any fines.

Then hopefully there are lawsuits...!
