    Really? I've only heard great things about it and was sad when Alaska Airlines bought it last month.

    Gonna miss my connecting flight because of majors delays. They cant get me anywhere to portland until late tomorrow. They have been nothing but rude about the entire situation. They wont help with hotel accomodations, told me to call guest services which was a giant waste of time, and one of the agents told me to go fuck myself. Id expect that behavior from.spirit airlines, but ive never been treated this way by any other airline ive ever flown.

    Why? Can you just stay in Vegas instead of taking the flight to San Fran?

    Why would you take a connecting flight to/from Vegas? Doesn't that double/triple the amount of time it takes to get to and from Vegas?

    I do free buffets. But I'm impatient as hell, I either want to get there or get home. I hate layovers.

    I remember one time having a layover of 4 hours at LAX on the way to Cancun. Sooooo bored, it was right when you could get TV broadcasts on a Sprint flipphone, I find a plug in and start watching TV on my phone, within 10mins I have 20 people standing behind me trying to watch TV on a tiny screen. We were all sooooo bored. LAX is a really old and outdated airport. I surprised at how empty it was in the middle of the night.

    I fucking lose my mind in these situations. I'm super agro/aggressive, I'll cause a scene. If an agent told me to go fuck myself, shit would go the fuck down.

    Apparently flying from san fran to portland isnt very popular with virgin airlines.

    Alaska wanted $399/ticket from me at the airport

    i wouldn't even think its one of their routes. Virgin is a little more expensive than alaska but I like the planes and service a little better. Although its gone down from when they first started, they used to hire really hot stewardesses.

    When I do my vegas weekends I live like 5 min from LAX. So I do a few shots at home and then call uber. A beer at the airport and a drink on the plane so I'm pretty lit when I get to Vegas.

    Before they banned liquids I got a bottle of makers on the plane and we were passing it around doing shots on the 40 minute flight with strangers haha so fun. probably against the law to drink like that on the plane but as long as you're cool and bro out with the stewardesses they let you get away with anything.
