Another reason i was looking forward to my Pasadena trip was Virgin America. VA recently started their service from Seattle and I must say, it totally rocks! From the moment you step in the check-in area, the differences are palpable. The seat is like an entertainment and office built into one. Power outlets, Live TV, Music Videos along with playlists, chat (between seats and elsewhere), ordering food from the seat with a swipe of a credit card, games, and much more, and for once, a domestic flight wasn’t painful. Compared to VA, other domestic airlines look like torture chambers from the medieval past.

They have thought through the user-experience, start to finish and I wish they will be successful in their venture and open more routes and direct flights. For now, it is my preferred carrier on west coast and some east coast connections.

If you haven’t tried it out, give it a shot, you won’t be sorry.
