Virgin America and JetBlue launch trans-continental flights to Ft. Lauderdale
In the last two days, both Virgin America and JetBlue have launched new flights between the West Coast and the gay destination of Ft. Lauderdale.
Virgin America today launched two daily flights between their home city of San Francisco to Ft. Lauderdale and two daily flights also from Los Angeles. Ft. Lauderdale is the 10th city served by Virgin America – partly owned but much inspired by Sir Richard Branson who owns Virgin Atlantic.
Virgin America is a high service, low-fare airline that focuses on providing customers with a positive flight experience. Virgin American offers innovative amenities like touch screen entertainment and power outlets at every seat, and inflight wireless internet service. The airline operates one of the youngest all-Airbus jet fleets with planes that feature mood lighting, video games, on-demand drink and snack menu, and available first-class seating.
JetBlue, responding to the Virgin America flights, also launched daily service between San Francisco and Ft. Lauderdale. JetBlue also is a low-fare, high service airline offering many of the amenities that Virgin America offers. Unlike Virgin America, JetBlue is headquartered in New York with a focus city in Ft. Lauderdale.
For gay or lesbian travelers looking to either enjoy the fabulous shopping and sights and nightlife in San Francisco or head to the beach and the relaxed atomosphere in gay-friendly Ft. Lauderdale, both Virgin America and JetBlue offer convenient and affordable flights and fares to make that trip even closer than you might have thought.
