Not a Virgin anymore....

Starting today you can rock it out Virgin style all across the US of A's friendly skies!!!!!! This is great news for my fellow yanks who appreciate a good flying experience. Richard Branson and his team has clearly figured out what is important to PEOPLE LIKE ME in the air: food to order whenever you want from your screen, electrical outlets at every seat (no more dead laptops), a boat load of music and TV options, IM'ing with other passengers, and mood lighting (why not?)

Oh, and did I mention they're cheap too? The first route goes from SFO to JFK and LAX. SF to LA is $44 for coach and $149 for first class. NYC to LA is $129 for coach and $389 for first class.

They've got an aggressive expansion plan to include over 30 cities within the next five years. NYC to LA will launch at the end of August, and D.C., Vegas, and San Diego follow suit this fall.

18-D....u r cute. what r u doing? ttyl.

If You're Skinny, Fly Frontier

Frontier Airlines announced that their passengers, on average, are 17 pounds lighter than the average American. Frontier's senior vice president of operations Chris Collins explained, "there's a lot of healthy people in Denver. I think that's been proven. So we went out and did our own survey."

As a past and current Denver resident, I can't not report on those findings. But I do find it pretty funny that Frontier issues these types of surveys....lots of free time, I suppose.

But in their defense, skinny passengers = lower fuel costs and those savings ARE important. In fact, Collins estimates that by applying those lower-weight standards to its flight-planning system, they will enjoy a savings of about $3.5 million in fuel! Go Frontier.

One $10 flight, please

If you are lucky enough to live in Columbus Ohio, $10.00 flights are in your very near future.

Skybus, a new low cost airline, will offer promotional $10 flights starting on May 22nd out of Columbus, Ohio. This price doesn't include taxes or fees....but WHO CARES??? These guys have made flying on the cheap in the U.S a reality and hopefully they will pressure other airlines to reduce their prices as well. I mean, $10.00???? This is good stuff.

They have some interesting strategies that will enable them to continue offering such low prices, including charging for premium space, luggage, and carry-ons, and selling ad space on the inside and outside of their plans.

I will stare at ads all day long if my flight costs less than a tank of gas.
