SAN FRANCISCO, March 24, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Virgin America, the new California-based airline aimed at making flying good again, today announced a four-day March fare sale* for travel to San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles, Washington D.C., Las Vegas, San Diego and Seattle.
Virgin America wants travelers to say "out with the old and in with the new" this Spring, by offering a totally different, upscale flying experience for mere pocket change. With moodlighting, custom-designed leather seats and the most advanced in-flight entertainment system in the U.S., the Virgin America experience is changing how domestic travelers fly. The Red In-flight Entertainment system allows guests to watch one of 25 movies (including latest releases), enjoy a library of over 3,000 MP3s, and order meals and cocktails whenever they want them during the flight, right from the video touch-screen at their seatback.
So sit back in a luxurious leather seat, have someone serve you a cocktail, watch a 2008 Oscar-winning film -- and change how you think about flying forever.
