Loving Virgin America
Firstly, I love that I am actually typing this from mid-air on my way to Chicago. It makes me think back to the days of waiting for websites to load on my old ass dial up connection and wondering if I ever thought I would be on fast wifi in the sky.
Secondly, Virgin America is a masterclass in marketing. Not only are they lending people Chrome books for flights and giving them free wifi in exchange (the first one is always free, right?) but they have every inch of the flight experience working as upsells but doing it in such a way that you feel privileged to pay for things.
Heck, the music catalog that you can listen to during take off and beyond is enough to make a musico like me happy. If they get more routes, I might have to make them my default domestic airline.
