Richard Branson will serve as a ''stewardess'' on an Air Asia flight after losing a bet to Lotus team principal Tony Fernandes over which of their Formula One teams did better this season.

Although neither team scored a point in their debut season, Lotus slightly outperformed the Virgin.

The two had made a bet before the season that the loser must serve as a ''stewardess'' on the winner's airline. Fernandes owns Air Asia and Branson runs Virgin.

Fernandes says ''it's time for Richard to start preparing himself for some hard work and the likely pain of a pair of high heels.''

The date of the Kuala Lumpur-London flight has yet to be set, but seats will be auctioned off and money given to Branson's chosen charity.
