Virgin Offers Something Extra in the Skies
Again from boingboing.net -- a sneak preview of Virgin America's bells and whistles. Apparently, passnegers -- even in coach -- can "chat" with each other on the plane. That's pretty cool.
Virgin is offering $44 flights from LA to SF and, yes, I have bought a ticket for the end of Sept. Can't wait to experience it all, including the "mood lighting" for take offs and landings.
Whether or not Virgin will continue to generate buzz remains to be seen. However, after years of flying on the old, dirty airplaines owned by the conventional carriers, I know that I will be relieved to finally ride in comfort. Thanks, Virgin, for reminding us that airplane travel doesn't have to be a nightmare.
