I'm thinking of flying VA later this year and wanted to know whether I would get miles, which is how I found your post. Without the miles, I am less 'loyal', but wondered if you had flown them since 2007, and specifically did you resolve the lounge access issue? Interesting blog.

Just got off First Class to SFO from JFK and back and everything is as you say and more! The brand will definitely suffer from this branch of the tree. Not only did they deny me access to the lounge as well, but I noticed even more problems tha n you! Not a single coat hanger on the entire plane for instance - first OR coach. Everything gets folded up and into the overhead - no exceptions. No amenity kit AT ALL for First Class - nothing, nada, niente, and nunca. Altogether a pretty poor experience. And you're right. You could NEVER get the advertised $149.00 First fare (perhaps unless you're Branson hisself) Try and match with a major carrier and you'll probably get around the fare you wind up paying and get twice the service.

Though the US is the worst country as far as security that I have travelled to, the UK comes second from my own personal experience. And I blame Tony Blare for the whole liquid explosive scam. I suppose I can now say that yes, I personally have now been affected by terrorism. I agree with DMO, the British are little better when it comes to airport security.

It sounds like you have bought in to the LIE that the federal government has something to do with 911. I guess you also believe that they are doing nothing about immigration because it apart of the<em> Communist Manifesto</em>, or that Hiltler called is country the homeland too. NO I am not blind. But we could point to happening in the world and call it a conspiracy. And the TSA. Really you are going to complain because in England they found evidence that terrorist were going make a liquid explosive. Seriously, you aren't better than everyone else. And they have signs everywhere that tell you what not to bring. Your fault that you didn't follow rules. You aren't above the law. Really Adam. You sound like a conspiracy theorist now.

A brand's a brand, and there should be reciprocity. Heck, my Northwest WorldClub member card gets me into Continental and Delta clubs. So Virgin America and Virgin Atlantic should at least have that much. About TSA. I'm in the middle of 10 weeks on the road. Hey, we're all rats in a cage, alright? I'm just trying to do my job, the counter people are trying to do theirs, the TSA inspectors on the line are just trying to do theirs. Say what you want about how wasteful the bureaucracy is, how stupid the procedures are, how asinine it is to take off the shoes and the computer out of the bag, and I will agree with all of it. But I've had at least 400 passages through checkpoints, and I can count the number of negative experiences I've had on one hand. You know what the rules are, you follow them, you smile at the screener as you show her your boarding pass for the third time. And they just might smile back. Try it sometime. Then you can write your Congress critter about how fucked up it all is. Bummer about the Virgin America experience. A brand’s a brand, and there should be reciprocity.

I'm 6"2, and have the same trouble on most airlines. They're bus services without the option to get some fresh air every once in a while... And I know it sounds elitist, but some of the people that are able to fly these days thanks to low-cost airlines... jeez ! I'm not looking forward to the TSA experience every time I fly to the US either... It's a huge waste of money and effort, and it's hardly effective... Stopping toiletries from boarding, that is one that's gonna stop a serious terrorist... Dude, George has really managed to turn many things to shit in a short while... Hope whoever is next can repair some of the damage... Excellent rant ! I’m 6″2, and have the same trouble on most airlines.

Cut the bin Laden crap. He had very little to do with what happened on 9/11/2001.

I happened to have a jiffy bag with me, so I took it out of my pocket and put my items in it. Now suddenly what I was carrying was "safe". What a complete and utter joke the TSA are. Terrorists everywhere must be celebrating. After all, was it not Bin Laden's goal to inconvenience us in the west? Looks like the terrorists are succeeding, I for one have been inconvenienced!

That is exactly what they are, not to mention fucking useless, although I do believe you covered that as well. After a recent and mostly enjoyable trip to the US, they certainly managed to lower my opinion about how things are run over there. Although the UK comes a close second as far as airport security goes. As a result, I have vowed never to fly in the US or UK unless I can help it. Voting with my feet, as it were.
