The Seat:  White leather and warm purple glow welcomes you aboard this ultra-hip Virgin America A319 cabin.  If you lack appreciation for the mod, zen -chic atmosphere then wide first class seats loaded with features might win you over. Width is king here as you’ve got some extra hip-space, typically an inch or more than on comparable aircraft. The recline isn’t full but is pretty generous and you can use the intuitive seat-back controls to position the leg-rest for kicking back and watching the mood lighting change colors. A generous console also creates plenty of space from your neighbor. 

If you’re lucky the massage feature will work with your seat. Mine did not. Regardless, this seat serves up a happiness you won’t find on a regional jet or anyone else’s A319.

Food: That I even got a galley-prepared snack on a sub one-hour flight was nothing short of miraculous. My eyes lit up like those of a kid from the 50’s getting a Lionel train set at Christmas I was so surprised…and hungry. A small sampling of cheeses, hummus and a few other semi-healthy items was followed by a fancy snack-basket service. Good show Virgin America. Hot coffee was waiting for me the very moment I stepped on the airplane…and it was GOOD.
