I flew Virgin America from LAX to JFK last week and found the airline to be excellent. More leg room, extremelly pleasant and helpful flight crew, very cool technology at each seat (outlets for laptops at every seat as well) and the ability to order food or drinks at any time.

It is the best airline I have taken in the US. I am just looking forward to them adding on more routes.

I think I saw where they’re doing San Francisco/LA for around $39-49. That $149 is cross country. A bit further than Florida/Tennessee.

The tech aspect of their flight sounds good, but I still don’t consider $149 each way to be so hot. I fly back and forth from Florida to Tennessee on Allegiant Air direct flights for $39 each way all year long.

For years, you guys (US-based folks) have suffered poor service on coach class flights because of cost-cutting measures by the airlines. Airlines in Europe have only recently taken that trend as I have ended up on a number of European flights to pay for my dinner!

Anyway, I hope with Virgin you guys will re-discover the joy of flying!
