You have two and a half days left to book an outstanding fare: $139 each way between the east and west coasts
The lot of a new airline is often hard. And that's apparently the case with the new Virgin America (www.virginamerica.com) flying (mainly) between the two coasts. Despite lavish publicity, and super-modern innovations (a giant number of full-length movies viewed from your seat, restaurant-like service from flight attendants summoned to your seat), Virgin America has apparently found it necessary to offer a price of only $139 each way between Los Angeles/San Francisco, on the one hand, and New York/Washington, D.C., on the other. Tickets must be purchased by 11:59pm this Friday, March 14; they can be for flights March 25 to May 21, and they can be purchased at this price only via the airline's website.
This is probably the week's outstanding airfare sale, which is why we're placing it on our blog today. It enables you to fly between the West Coast/East Coast (or vice versa) for less than you'd pay for most shuttle flights between New York and Boston.
