IF you think jetting off on a private plane is only for the rich and famous, think again! High-flying Bury travel agent Debbie Firkin (27) has won a plane for the day and will fly to Vienna tomorrow (Sat March 15) with 39 of her friends and family after winning the star prize in a nationwide competition with British Airways.

Debbie, assistant manager at the Lunn Poly shop on The Rock, was one of three lucky winners from thousands working in the travel industry. She said: "I can't believe it. When I was told I had won a plane for the day it was so hard to take in! I've got friends and family coming from Scotland, Ireland, London and Liverpool, including my six-year-old niece and my 84-year-old gran. It's going to be an absolute ball."

Debbie won the prize by drawing the winning ticket after making a booking on a British Airways service from Manchester Airport to anywhere in the UK or Europe.

Debbie's plane will leave Manchester airport at 9.30am and arrive back in Manchester 12 hours later.

In Vienna the party will enjoy a guided coach tour around the city hosted by the Vienna Tourist Board with a special lunch included.

Debbie, who has never visited the Austrian capital before, said: "I've always wanted to visit Vienna. I've read a lot about this cosmopolitan city and I am looking forward to seeing the architecture, museums and, of course, the great shops."
