Hey everyone down there on earth! I am flying over you at 37,966 feet in a purple lite plane known as Virgin America. This is my first time flying Virgin and I am sure loving every minute of it. Like I’ve heard many of times, Virgin America is one of a kind. So when I got the opportunity to fly with them, I was thrilled. For this trip I am headed to Washington, DC to see my best friend of 9+ years, Lindsay.We met a few weeks before attending college together. Funny story – Lindsay saw me and my family on the local news going through airport security. Lindsay wrote on my Facebook wall, before there was private messaging, and said “Were you on TV today?” That’s all it took for me and her to become best friends for life. Since college flying has been a big part of our relationship. Being that we live on complete opposite sides of the U.S., planning tips are mandatory. I am so excited to see her!
Virgin has made it easy for me to connect to my followers today! With their partnership with GoGo Inflight Internet I am able to access the internet all day. After only being on the flight 45 min and so many exciting things happened. First there was the classic safety info given to us passengers through a music video with dancing, rhymes, and celebrities. Recently a lady proposed to her girlfriend over the intercom and she said yes! Congrats to them! Virgin offers amazing food of all types. I was happy to purchase their tasty PB&J. Yummy!
Virgin American Airlines also provides touch screens for each passenger. There are so many beverage and food choices and lots of movies, music, and shopping all located on your personal screen. I was able to choose my drinks from the screen and they were quickly brought to me by one of their great flight attendants.
Over all I have truly enjoyed the 4 hours flying Virgin American. One more hour to go until I see my bestie! Tell me in the comments- Have you every flown Virgin America? What was your experience? Do you have any trips coming up? You know how much I love reading your comments!
Happy 4th of July!
xoxo

Oh my goodness what a swish airline! It makes our little Saab’s look old and outdated, lol!
I LOVE flying so I will definitely have to look into flying with Virgin America! The touchscreen system looks like such a treat for long flights.

I secretly kind of love long-distance flights – love the in-flight entertainment! Having internet on the plane sounds SO useful, I’ve never had that before!
ive flown with virgin atlantic and i loved my experience. even the playlist wen boarding the plane was great!
That sound like a fab flight – I know it’s terrible, but I really miss Wifi when I’m up in the air!
I haven’t flown with Virgin America, and i want to have a try

I have never flown with Virgin America but it seems like they look after you it’s great they have the internet on there too! x
I love flying with Virgin, such a great airline.
I’ve never been on a flight longer than 2 hours or so, but I imagine that internet comes in handy on longer flights! Virgin America sound good.

I have flown Virgin America before and I loved it x
That sounds awesome! I’ve never flown with them, but should probably try them out.
This sounds like you managed to get on a really nice flight – I love all the things they provide! x
It sounds like you had a great flight!
I (nearly) always fly Virgin when I come to the US (although not Virgin America) as I find it to be great value for money!
Have a great weekend

I flew with Virgin years ago! I miss their goodie bags
This seems like the best flight ever! I wish the flights I took had internet available, touch screens I could order my drinks on and cable tv. I hope you enjoy your time with your best friend, I love the story of how you guys became friends xx
Flying can be such a pain in the behind (literally!) that it’s nice when the airlines put a little thought into how to make the passengers’ flights more comfortable…
This sounded like a really nice flight. I didn’t know they had those convenient touch screen with everything you could want on them.
So fun! I need to try Virgin America.

We’re doing transatlantic in a few months and I WISH I had booked Virgin. I booked Thomas Cook and save £2000 for us all but it looks so lovely!
I love love flying and I wish I got to do it more often! I’ve never flown with this company, but they plane and amenities looks really nice! I hope you have fun visiting D.C. and your bestie; I absolutely love the city, so I’m pretty sure you’ll have a great time!
I almost always fly Delta because my dad is a pilot with them, but this looks like such a nice trip!

I must have been unlucky as I didn’t rate my experience with Virgin last summer when I flew to New York and home from Washington. Looks like you had a great trip x
I’ve been wanting to fly with Virgin America for a while and you sold me! Love it!
