Virgin America Launches Hot Summer Fare Sale

just thought i'd share this since Taj, Techno Twins and Dave Madix took VA for the first time this past weekend and loved it. Remember these prices do tend to go up in price as the plane fills up and the flight date you wish to take gets closer. Might do Seattle for Taj's massive and rave gigs in June

Except for that ONE plane (which I seemed to end up on often) in their fleet that didn't have RED installed.

They finally got that taken care of though. Woohoo!

Yessir, that was a 319...and their only one that wasn't complete yet. Sadly, it wasn't a backup. It was on their daily AM flight (LAX to SFO). But like I said, it's not even an issue anymore. They sent her to NY to get the job finished. That, and I earned a ton of comps and credit for the (slight) inconvenience.

Go VA!

Whats RED?

I personally like Jet Blue from Burbank to Vegas and/or JFK. Everyone gets their own Direct TV in front of them and the rows in the back get a couple extra inches of room.

Plus Burbank is very convenient vs. LAX

any flights from LA to SF?

Red is the name for their IFE (In flight entertainment) which includes their own display w/ satellite channels along with a good choice of music, hollywood movies (for a fee), free indie college films (there are some really good ones! esp the cocaine musical lol), games (they have DOOM but it can't be networked against others on a plane), text chat with other passengers, order food and so on... here's a review of it actually:

http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/17/...virgin-america/

Also the extra seating room (not just in the back) was VAs idea 3 years ago before they got federal approval so all the airlines had time to catch up incl Jet Blue

RED's the promoter that booked a lot of EDM music at Circus this year. Looks like they're taking the party to new heights. DJ and drinks on the plane, and the DJ's don't have to land, so the cover should be cheaper...

Actually, it's been already going for a couple years now. One flight a day, each way. Try looking up a date so you can get moded.
