Virgin America Spices Up In-flight Entertainment

To make the in-flight entertainment pleasure of people taking the Virgin America lineup flights, Virgin America unveiled a new entertainment line-up on its touch-screen entertainment platform – Red. This spring, travelers on Virgin America will be able to use the Red touch-screen on their seatback to select from a new library of 25 on-demand films, including Oscar-winning and nominated films like Slumdog Millionaire, Doubt, The Dark Knight and Tropic Thunder. The airline also announced that WiFi is now available on nearly half of its fleet – with 13 of its new 28 Airbus A320-family planes equipped with Gogo In-flight Internet service. As of today, guests can now see which Virgin America flights are Gogo-enabled when booking on-line at: www.virginamerica.com.
Virgin America now offers WiFi Internet service on 13 of its planes, including all of the flights on the carrier’s new Boston routes. Gogo In-flight Internet is available for $12.95 for daytime flights of over three hours, $9.95 for daytime flights of less than three hours, $5.95 on red-eye flights and $7.95 for handheld devices.
