The airline's seasonal New York-Fort Lauderdale and Boston-Las Vegas routes are on sale now.
SAN FRANCISCO – Virgin America, the award-winning airline that is reinventing travel, announces two new seasonal routes – daily nonstop service between New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and Fort Lauderdale International Airport (FLL) and four times weekly service between Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) and Las Vegas McCarran International Airport (LAS). Virgin America will offer its award-winning three class service – First Class, Main Cabin Select and Main Cabin – on these routes with mood-lighting, touch-screen entertainment at every seat and fleetwide WiFi. To celebrate the new routes, Virgin America is inviting travelers to share their best sun-inspired ‘selfie’ on Twitter using the #ThawOut hashtag for a chance to win two roundtrip Main Cabin tickets on one of these new winter escape routes. Tickets for the new services are available now at Virgin America’s website and 1-877-FLY-VIRGIN with special sale fares for JFK-FLL starting from $99 one-way and BOS-LAS starting from $179 one-way (taxes and fees included and restrictions applying). All seats are also available for redemption bookings, with no-blackout reward flights on JFK-FLL starting at 3907 Elevate® points and BOS-LAS starting at 7629 points.
“As the colder months approach, many of our guests – in the Northeastern U.S., especially – are already planning their winter getaways, so we’re pleased to offer a breath of fresh airline on these seasonal routes,” said John MacLeod, Virgin America’s Senior Vice President of Planning and Sales. “This is the first time Virgin America has offered nonstop flights between Fort Lauderdale and New York as well as Las Vegas and Boston. With our moodlighting, award-winning guest service, personal entertainment and power outlets at every seat, plus WiFi across the entire fleet, we think guests will agree that Virgin America is the perfect way to escape to these popular destinations.“
Additionally, the airline announces today that it will operate two extra roundtrip frequencies weekly between Las Vegas-New York (JFK) over winter and early spring to bring weekly frequencies on this popular route from the current seven to nine.
Virgin America offers sleek, tech-forward aircraft cabins with custom-designed seating, fleetwide in-flight WiFi, signature moodlighting, power outlets near every seat and the unparalleled Red® in-flight entertainment system. The Red® platform offers guests on every Virgin America flight their own seatback screen, with 25 films, live TV, interactive Google Maps, videogames, a 3,000 song library and an on-demand menu, which allows flyers to order a cocktail or snack from their seatback any time during a flight. In addition to a Main Cabin that offers custom-designed leather seating with a deeper, more comfortable pitch, the airline’s exclusive 8-seat First Class cabin features plush white leather seating with 55 inches of pitch, 165 degrees of recline and lumbar massagers. The carrier’s Main Cabin Select option offers 38-inches of pitch, free food and cocktails, an all-access pass to media content, dedicated overhead bins and priority check-in/boarding.
