Virgin America today launched its high-tech, low-fare flights to Orange County.
VA will launch with five daily flights between San Francisco International Airport (SFO) and John Wayne Airport (SNA) in Santa Ana, California. To excite travel between the two cities, Virgin is offering fares starting at $49 each-way.
To sweeten the deal, Virgin announced that it is giving a dozen fliers the “OC treatment for free,” which includes a seat on the first flight, a stay at Pacific Edge Hotel on Laguna Beach, and a South Coast Plaza shopping spree. The value of the winners’ seats will be donated to Virgin Unite’s partner, StandUp for Kids – a nonprofit outreach group making a difference in the lives of at-risk youth in Orange County.
