PSFK has a great description of their first flight on Virgin America:
It was like being eaten by an iPhone and sitting in its belly for an hour.
I’ve always been a fan of Virgin Atlantic — it’s the only airline where the safety brochures look like they were put together by a graphic designer. It appears that they’ve paid the same attention to detail for their new US venture, and I for one can’t wait to try it.
I agree, the attention to detail on Virgin literature is beautiful. I first flew with them UK to LA in 2000 and I was hooked. I’m a member of their flying club and the mailings they send out, the emails, the website are all perfectly designed. (Also, the in-flight freebie washbag had teeny mini rubber duckies!)
So if they can please a picky designer… ;-)
I’m taking my first Virgin Atlantic flight in about a week (London!) and I’m sorta looking forward to it. In-seat power and a comfy seat has real potential to make the experience tolerable, if not almost good.
Don’t know if you were at the Ambidextrous event or not; sorry I didn’t get to see you…
Ah, I was going to go to the Ambidextrous event, but a conflict came up at the last minute. I’ll be at the next launch party for sure!
