1 Millionth Elevate Story- Christiana
My “first time” with Virgin America was a magical experience. It was also my first time visiting Las Vegas, but it started out as a horrible day. I got up at 5:00am, only to end up stuck in traffic, lost, and missing my flight. I was already getting text messages from the friend I was meeting, telling me he was winning at poker and checking out real live lions in the casino! When I hurried into the airport, disheveled and frustrated, the staff at the Virgin America desk were wonderful: I got put on stand-by and was out within the hour. The people at my gate talked to me like real people, like they were friends – not like airline robots. I immediately felt comfortable. Then, when I boarded the plane, it was like Airplane Wonderland – a Vegas in the Sky. I played Mah Jongg on my touch-screen (located on every single seat!) and marveled at the cozy, inviting ambiance. You just don’t get any of this from any other airline. I was expecting to have fun in Vegas, but I had a blast on the way over, too!
