I haven't flown Virgin Airlines yet but glad you had a positive experience. Best experience on a commercial airline I've had in a long time was flying Jet Blue from Virginia to California and back. Very comfortable seats, extra legroom, DirectTV on back of seat in front of me with lots of channels, etc. A pleasant flying expereience, a definite rarity nowadays when commercial flights are a real pain in the you know what the vast majority of the time. However, like you, I too would of course prefer to ride on a private jet when given a choice. By the way, speaking of private jets, I came across an interesting article about why private jets are not just for the rich and famous these days.

I've flown their oversease flights four times back in the early 1990's....And it was GREAT, in every way...I nust say that this sounds fantastic and like an even better flight experience now....<BR/>I've never flown on a private jet...It must be great!<BR/>I used to fly MGM Grand back in the day...And THAT was fabulous! It was a sad day when they closed down.OldLady Of The Hillshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02458879772193114892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8620940070153527301.post-71624403984427422282008-07-25T05:51:00.000-07:002008-07-25T05:51:00.000-07:00Looks like a cool airline.

I never want to fly with them again, except I do have airmiles accumulated over the last 10 years to use up.

I ALWAYS prefer the private jet when I travel the 3 mile commute from the outskirts of Palm Springs to my job in downtown Palm Springs, but if the boss happens to be using it for a run to the liquor store, then VIRGIN is definitely the way to go!<BR/><BR/>I love being on board those beautiful planes and enjoying the mood lighting, MP3s and pay-per-view for those glorious 14 seconds of commute time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
