TRIP REPORT | Virgin America - A319 - Las Vegas (LAS) to San Francisco (SFO) | Economy

Welcome to another trip report!
I originally uploaded this video on Friday, but I noticed that it hadn't fully rendered, and it was being viewed in 360p. The problem should be fixed now!
On June 18, I flew Virgin America from Las Vegas to San Francisco. I've done a first class review already, so I decided to book this flight in Economy.
Everything was great, of course. It is a shame that Alaska Airlines is trashing Virgin America's IFEs and excessive legroom.
Anyways, I hope you enjoy this video!

today's Q re-view is sponsored by a low battery alert and a possible coke with ice sighting. well done Quebec Foxtrot Sierra, you never disappoint and thanks for sharing!!

[@davidperry4013]

I flew Virgin before and the seats are just as comfortable as JetBlue. I really like the IFE and I love the safety video.

[@mikespeers]

You're right. This one is much better.

[@QFSAviation]

Yep!

[@AprilMartinChartrandMS]

Thanks for the update and the beautiful filming for your flight. I will think about Virgin Air as viable option. Love the detailed review of the seats and such. The mood lights are great.

[@jamani1086]

Thanks QFS !!!

[@dlbrittain1976]

It would be nice if JANET would allow you hop aboard..." Secret Agent Man" I really like the mood lighting, makes it really "COOL" with the closed shades..yes it does have the freshness...WOW a red puke bag...haha.....remember even older logo " Golden nugget jet" ... think the "good stuff" is not cheap, just a soda for me..haha.......hello SFO..although I did miss the "LOO" review :(....another great trip report Quintin.......:)

[@FootAndFly]

Very nice video mate!

[@QFSAviation]

Thanks!

[@jamani1086]

hi Qman. great scenery, nice views. 7:30...moodlights, camera, action...they put that on the plane for you? 11:52 you watching the safety vid or rolling your eyes? haha landing at sfo usually offers great views, you did not disappoint. good job bud thanks for sharing.

[@QFSAviation]

Thanks! Yeah hahaha that was me rolling my eyes. yeah sfo had great views!

[@jasonmoors1191]

Will Alaska keep the Airbuses and convert them to normal Alaska interiors,the iFE's being removed? Noticed you 'Ubered' to the airport--any cheaper than a taxi? Was your aircraft having a quick turn at SFO? Very unusual for the cleaning crew and the galley people to be onboard before all the passengers have gotten off. I've only flown thru Vegas one time--flew a Continental 727-200 IAH-LAS,connecting to an America West A320 to PHX--I don't envy your next flight home--with layover time,flying time and flying EB,you'll be getting into JFK late at night

[@21xd09]

Awesome video! Probably won't have a chance to fly on an ex Virgin America plane, but its still awesome to see the birds with the livery, cabin, and IFE!

[@martinhansen9662]

21xd09 what happen to virgin atlantic?

[@21xd09]

CRAP I MEANT VIRGIN AMERICA!!!! I have to edit it.

[@martinhansen9662]

21xd09 anddd what happen to virgin america?

[@21xd09]

They merged with Alaska Airlines. Even though you see the Virgin America planes with the livery and all, they are in the process of getting repainted, with new cabins and seats without the IFE.

[@martinhansen9662]

21xd09 that sad but why they remove the ife system :(

[@CaptainStevenMarkovich]

Excellent 👍

[@QFSAviation]

Thanks!

[@wbokhari8860]

About the card reader, the same happened to me on my flight on June 15th from Orlando to San Francisco.

[@QFSAviation]

Yeah I think Alaska might have disabled it on all aircraft

[@wbokhari8860]

Yup. You can still use the reader on the remote control in the armrest though.

[@kquttersanford3635]

The Alaska livery you saw is actually new livery they came out in 2015

[@QFSAviation]

Yep!

[@ethanstein42]

Great video.

[@QFSAviation]

Thanks!

[@clivervargas-zepeda716]

You’re using Flightradar24 I love that website

[@planespottingitaly5377]

Whats face of alaska airlines?

[@nateleech3887]

planespotting italy it’s supposed to be an Eskimo

[@dashotter]

If only bright and fun Virgin had managed to avoid getting swallowed by plain old Alaska Airlines. I can imagine up with an updated product like new seats, new screen, new safety video (I think the dance was getting old by the time the merger happened) and new livery. I was looking forward to the new Airbus planes they would get like the A320 NEO series. Alaska just completely trashed Virgin’s product despite telling us that they would “adopt” elements of Virgin. SFO just isn’t the same without Virgin America. If I don’t fly Virgin, I don’t know what to fly. We’re now just hub to two terrible / bleak airlines, Alaska and United. We don’t get any attention from those airlines either because we’re only secondary hubs of both Alaska and United.

[@Nobody-nt5ff]

QFS Aviation Why did u re-upload this video?

[@juventisa23]

As he stated in the description, there was a rendering issue with the video because it was only displaying in 360p.

[@QFSAviation]

Yup! For some reason the first one didn't render

[@VadimD-All_The_Best]

😀👍

[@TrainsWow]

I wish that Alaska had IFEs

[@QFSAviation]

Yeah same

[@uy_spotter]

Hello!

[@QFSAviation]

Hey!

[@juventisa23]

Didnt even know that Alaskan Airlines and Virgin were codeshare airlines..

[@AlecFlying]

JackAllstarTT Virgin was dissolved in the recent merger. Not really codeshare, just different paint.

[@khalidabdulghani]

Alaskan bought Virgin

[@QFSAviation]

Yeah Alaska purchased VX last year

[@juventisa23]

QFS Aviation Oh thats why.

[@emilianoramirez5398]

Wheres the Emirates Review

[@QFSAviation]

Coming soon!

[@jaydenaviation2974]

You mean Alaska?

[@QFSAviation]

This flight still mostly resembled Virgin America, so I feel the name Alaska wouldnt resemble this.

[@kylethemadman1]

Meanwhile on ryanair

[@QFSAviation]

LMAO

[@stephenjones2570]

Hi

[@QFSAviation]

Hey!

[@DocCarpet]

Why does the person who announced everything sound like a 6 year old

[@sarahdubs7545]

I don't like the introduction safety video and dancing seems unprofessional to me and not taken seriously.
