Lili and I just got back from a quick trip out West to party with family (aunt's 50th birthday) and for business.

Our trip was possible because we found a great deal (limited time offer) on airfare from from a new airline, VirginAmerica, which, in my humble opinion, was the best experience I've had on a flight in a looooooooooooooong time (the first best was on the way back from Fort Lauderdale Airport after proposing to Lili under a faux terra-cotta-roofed-house waiting area in one of the halls).

The experience was pretty cool, and for once, I think an airline has really put the customer's needs first, which is always a plus.

From the complimentary earphones for the inflight mostly-FREE entertainment to the cool moodlighting and sweet reading lights, this airline really impressed me.

Now before you ask, "Gio, how much is VirginAmerica payin' you to endorse them?", the answer is: nothing. I'm just sayin' try them the next time you fly (where available). If people thought JetBlue was cool because of the inflight DirectTV, they will go bananas over the club-like atmosphere on these badboy planes.

Now, the above description might turn off some of the more "mature" clientele, but believe me when I say, both young and old will enjoy the experience.

Anyway,. I'm done plugging this airline. Lili and I had an awesome trip, and we got to hang out with great people (both family and friends), and we were excited to finally having a good experience with an airline and actually have a good travel experience to share with people.

Now, doesn't the title make a little more sense now? ;)
