Virgin America is THE way to fly to Las Vegas!
I flew VA on the way to and from Las Vegas for my younger sister's 21st birthday weekend bash. I flew out of SFO. Since I booked my flight the week of the trip, the airfare was a bit steep for a short flight. All together, I spent around $330 round-trip, which I think is a bit much for a flight from the Bay Area to Vegas. But, I was willing to pay the $ to avoid a long road trip and to experience all the buzz surrounding Virgin America. It was well worth it!
The interior of the plane looks like a Miami night club. White base with purple lighting. Each passenger gets their own personal tv that offers cable network channels, radio, music videos and online ordering of food and cocktails. In Vegas fashion, I ordered a mojito. I knew I had to get my trip started the RIGHT way!
The service was excellent. The crew looked neat and sharp and our male flight attendant was such a hoot. I'm sure it helped that we were all bound for Sin City and there were a bunch of girl groups ready for some serious partying!
This was the BEST way I've traveled to Vegas as of yet. Except for the minor delay due to plane change, I have no major complaints. I enjoyed my strong mojito and was entertained by Lady Gaga and Beyonce music videos, which very much put me in the mood for the Vegas weekend ahead. Flight back was smooth, too.
I will definitely fly Virgin America again to Vegas and other destinations. It's like flying inside a night club!
Virgin America is the only airlines that I use. To LA or Las Vegas at least. Their prices are comparable to Southwest Airlines, but the airplanes are much newer and the staff are very professional. They also have an entertainment system for you to enjoy while you fly. You can choose from watching television, listening to music, watching music videos, playing games, chatting and a few other features. All it requires for you to be able to use it are a pair of headphones.
I flew out Thursday night from SFO to LAS and returned from LAS to SFO Monday night and the fares were $69 there and $79 back. I've flown cheaper before, but I checked out that that's pretty much the going rates now. I used to check a bag in before, but just bring a carry on or two now. I was not affected by their $15 baggage check in which is pretty new for them. They allowed one free checked in bag not too long ago.
I will use Virgin America if I plan on going to any of their destinations.
I love flying Virgin. They have cheap fares and are the most relaxing, beautiful airplanes. Haven't had any problems and will definitely look to Virgin first when I choose an airline. They just need more locations now.
VA Employee: "Do you work here?"
Me: *boarding* Um, no... but as a matter of fact I would love to.
When I was boarding, the VA employee was thinking that I had worked there.
My lover calls it Badlands Air (after the SF club) because the plane is uber-homosexual. It's like stepping into a gay man's house. Purple mood lighting, sleek electronics and smooth plexi-glass features. The attendants were all black because it's usually slimming and adds to the modernness of the whole experience. If they had condoms in the bathroom, I might start giggling. And of all the times I've flown, there is usually more male attendants then female. You see my point.
Staff is usually friendly, although the floor staff was a bit rude in light of their hideous delay. I even paid to be confirmed standby on an earlier flight and that was annoying. I'll give you a pass for that one.
Unlike, Jane V., however, I hope they do not expand. Can you really see a plane like this trying to fly somewhere like Boise, Idaho? I don't know about that one. But it is a very major metropolitan airline, so be sure that it will go to some other major cities...
AND IF SOMEONE FROM VIRGIN IS READING THIS WITH HIRING CAPACITY, I AM YOUR NEWEST FLIGHT ATTENDANT... YOU JUST HAVE TO SAY THE WORDS... LOL.
Come show your love for Virgin, it will be the start of one of your greatest love affairs...
Ok so now Virgin Airlines is charging $15.00 for your checked luggage. But US Air charged me $50.00 for my checked luggage when I traveled to Arizona. So Virgin is still on my good list. Still on time and Still my favorite airline so far. Just EXPAND your territory please!

Other american airlines should be embarrassed with their awful frozen sandwiches, miserable staff and early 90's static-enticing seats.
I've been fiending to try out this airline, when I worked up the nerve to get on a plane, sans my lorazipam.
Well, baby girl needed to fly to Vegas to see hubby during his furlough. So I tell her how cool this airline looks etcetera, etcetera.... So baby girl books her flight.... and then discovers she can't find her ID. She has her old ID with her maiden name, but she booked under her married name.
Well, presto zingo, the nice people at customer service helped her out and she was on her way. And what do I get when I get home? Pictures from the cabin as she entered... She loved the leather extra size seats (baby girl is 6') and the headrest Television....
