Thoughts from the Curb

Jul 14, 2008 - Always Fly Virgin America

Greetings from New York City. This is actually the first time I've been in the Big Apple. Partially because I've never had a reason to, partly because of my intense distaste for the New York Yankees and their fans. And whattya know, I'm here at the same time as the All-Star Game (although I'll probably be busy during it).

Any way, fly Virgin America. Always. Remember seeing movies of flying in the 60s when everything was cool and they had those hot air hostesses? Well, aside from the hostesses (no offense Diane and Lovely) that atmosphere is back with Virgin America. Flying is cool again with 98-percent less rectal pain caused when flying one of the big airlines. The above photo shows exactly what the cabin looks like. I was provided with a power plug for my laptop and had free satellite basic cable channels throughout the flight. I had to pay for a sandwich (that actually tasted good), but I ordered it with credit card electronically through in-seat entertainment system. In true auto journalist fashion, I must point out the superior interior materials. The best of all, Virgin America was actually CHEAPER than the regular airlines from LAX to JFK.

Does this have anything to do with cars? Well, no, but it is in the transportation realm. Also, it's my blog damn it.
