As we may all have heard of, Virgin American has merged with Alaska Air Group. They will get rid of the Virgin America brand sometime around 2019. I am making this as a tribute to Virgin America :)
And this is kinda like a series I am making where I review different airlines I have flew. My goal share my personal experience with others on this forum and hopefully give them an insight in different airlines so when they ever need to buy a flight, they can use different reviews including mine as a guide Hope you enjoy :)
Previous Review: Frontier Airlines
I have flew Virgin America round trip from Denver (KDEN) to San Francisco (KSFO) during the Holiday Season. This below is what I have experienced on their flight and is based on my personal experience, Enjoy:
Comment below you thoughts and if you are sad to see Virgin America go ------------------->
Pros:
-Friendly Staff
-New and efficient aircraft (love the a320!)
-Decent leg room (more than other airlines)
-Nice interior with mood lighting
-Clean cabin
-Best Safety Video
-Free complementary drinks
-IFE (with some free movies and tv shows)
-Order at seat service
-Free WiFi (Not that fast though :()
Cons:
-A little dark in the cabin with the mood lighting (it is hard if you want to read something during a night flight)
-Not the cheapest (although we got our ticket at a low price)
-Not very many negatives about this airline :)
Check in and Boarding:
Checking in was easy as cake. There are kiosk for passengers who already have their boarding pass or passengers who don’t need to check in. There is music playing in the lobby which makes the experience greater.
Boarding was as easy as check in. The airline doesn’t split boarding groups into many. They only have like 3. Unlike United or Frontier, they have like 5. I was seated at the second to last row in which I was group 1. Boarding process was fast too, the friendly staff made travelling easier :)
In Flight Services:
Just like any airline, they give you free drinks of your choice (not snacks though). If you are feeling hungry or thirsty in the middle of the flight, you don’t have to get out of your seat to ask for something, you can order it at your seat :) There are also a couple of free movies and TV shows you can watch (big bang theory, etc) There was free WiFi but it wasn’t that fast. I could send like 3 snapchats until the WiFi just crashed ;)
Rating: 10/10
From personal experience I would rate Virgin America at a 10/10. I personally didn’t experience any bad things from this airline so I give it a 10/10. I enjoyed every aspects of that flight. The crew were friendly and it seemed like the airline really cares about their customers. I didn’t experience any delays and getting me from point A to point B was easy peazy.
My recommendation:
If you want to make your flying experience unforgettable, fly Virgin America. They make you feel welcome and there aren’t any flaws that I have experienced on my flight. Their tickets usually are on the pricey side though (We were lucky enough to find cheap fares). So if your the type of person to care about service more than price, this is the perfect airline fore you. Even if you want low fares, you should fly with this airline at least once before it closes in 2019 :)
Tips:
Do whatever you are going to do on another flight. You don’t have to worry about loosing your checked luggage. Also bring your own food if you think you will get hungry mid flight :)
