When I went to DC a few weeks back we flew Virgin America. I was so excited about it I started blogging about it on the plane! I know, I know! Well I never actually posted it, so here it is:
All I can say is wow!! We are sitting on the plane right now to head to DC for a week. I was really excited to see what all the hype was about. When we entered SFO we had some trouble finding the check in area. When we did we were greeted with red carpet, white orchids, flat panel touchscreen macs and a very nice customer service agent. We were checked in in no time at all and headed to our gate.
When we boarded the airplane we were greeted with this down tempo club music. The plane was up lit a neon purple and all the seats were leather… not just first class. Every seat back had a touchscreen panel and a remote control with access to video games, movies, satellitle tv and the ability to order food from where we sat.
It was all great until we were delayed an hour and a half and our touch screens stopped working. I will say, they comped our meals for the delay, which I dont think United has ever offered on any delayed flight I’ve been on!
All in all, the hype wore off because the touch screens were broken. The flight back home was great… everything worked!
