Should be interesting. Power at the seats so I'm not going to bring an extra battery. They have USB ports, not sure what they do. For charging devices with USB chargers? No wifi yet. I'll take pics with my iPhone. People are curious about this airline. Me too.  Permanent link to this item in the archive.
Apparently it's really hot in the east. I'm still going to pack a couple of sweaters. It could get cold in NY in early-mid-October. Permanent link to this item in the archive.
A bit of feedback to anyone at Virgin America who might read this. Your site could work a lot better with Firefox on a Mac. Come on! You're based in SF, not Redmond. ";->" Permanent link to this item in the archive.
Ooops, look what happened when I tried to print my boarding pass. Repeatable. Permanent link to this item in the archive.
