July 19th, 2007 by Mike Baumwoll
Virgin America, Virgin Atlantic’s new airline, has finally trekked across the Atlantic to make a permanent landing on U.S. soil. As of August 9th and 29th, Virgin America will become a functioning domestic airline. The San Francisco based airline Virgin Atlantic Airways, originating in 1984, has expanded their repertoire and is now offering flights between five U.S. cities ranging from San Francisco (SFO), Los Angles (LAX), New York (JFK), Las Vegas (LAS), and Washington D.C (IAD). This is excluding the 27 other locations that Virgin Atlantic Airways regularly services.
Virgin Atlantic Airways is known for their luxurious amenities, being the first airline to supply every individual passenger with his/her own television. Each individual traveler will experience subtle mood lighting, leather seats, a nine-inch TV with live feeds, an array of 25 movies to choose from, and has access to a power outlet. Extra luxuries in first class include all of the above amenities, as well as oversized massaging seats.
Virgin America is currently holding an opening sale seven days a week, through November 14th. This sale includes cross country flights from both New York to Los Angles (starting August 29th) and New York to San Francisco (starting August 9th) for only $139 each way. If you want to upgrade to the mechanical masseuse class, it’s $389 each way. If you’re looking for an inexpensive, accommodating, and relaxing airline between the major cities in the states, Virgin America is your provider.
