Virgin America May Give Low-Fare Airlines the 'Jet Blues'

It's admittedly disappointing that I have to wait until fall before Virgin America starts flying out of DC. But if the fares can remain competitive with other coast-to-coast carriers, it may be worth the wait.

Richard Branson is king of the customer experience and the new website promises quite the experience indeed:

• In-flight 110V power/USB/ethernet
• Entertainment system offering 3,000+ MP3s, TV, movies, games
• Wine and food ordered from entertainment system
  
• Seat-to-seat chat

JetBlue and Southwest may have something to worry about.
