Hello Virgin America.  Competition is good.  As of today, Virgin America has begun ticket sales to NYC and LAX from SFO.  The response?  A flooded Virgin America website and long delay times over the phone.  I’d say they’re looking to be a strong player out of San Francisco.

United responded over the top with a fare sale.  $22 each way from SFO-LAX.  Total?  65ish RT taxes included!  The SFO-JFK flights are even better- $160 RT all in!  Does anyone want to go to JFK for a weekend?

I wish them the best of luck.  I look forward to giving them a chance.

P.S. The fares are valid from Aug 9 to Mid November.
