Virgin America Connects Silicon Valley To Silicon Mountain

Upon arrival into Denver, Sir Richard Branson will show Denver travelers just what they've been missing when not flying Virgin America – by offering them a virtual reality tour of Virgin America's innovative cabins thanks to Google Cardboard viewers on the Denver Terminal A Concourse.  Virgin America is the first major U.S. airline to touch down on Google Map's Street View by offering a 360-degree, interactive tour of the airline's unique, consistent cabins.  The Virgin Group founder will be offering local flyers the ability to take a virtual tour of the airline's cabins on any route, showing them that there is no bait and switch: what they see is what they get when they book a flight on Virgin America.  In collaboration with Google, VX created a national brand campaign "Seat View," to encourage travelers to test drive their own flight before they take off.  For more or to view the tours, head to Google Maps and search for "Virgin America" and a departing airport or visit: http://www.virginamerica.com/seatview.

Virgin America's celebration of its new Denver service will extend into the evening tonight with its launch party at the Art, downtown Denver's newest luxury art hotel – with special guests like football icon and Denver wide receiver, Emmanuel Sanders

In order to accommodate the airline's continued growth and further invest in the Denver region, Virgin America's new Customer Contact Center, which will support approximately 100 new Denver-area jobs, is also opening today.  The center will be staffed by 24-7 Intouch with support from Virgin America's in-house team, and workers will assist with a variety of issues, including flight bookings, Elevate frequent flyer support, and a variety of other services. Virgin America is also hiring approximately 40 new teammates from the Denver area to support its new schedule.

Launched in 2007, Virgin America has been named both the "Best Domestic Airline" in  Travel +  Leisure's Annual World's Best Awards and "Best U.S. Airline" in  Conde Nast Traveler's Readers' Choice Awards for the past eight consecutive years.  In addition to its exclusive First Class cabin with plush white leather seating and lumbar massagers on every flight, Virgin America offers a Main Cabin with custom leather seating with a deeper, more comfortable pitch, and Main Cabin Select service with 38-inches of pitch, free food and cocktails, an all-access pass to media, dedicated overhead bins and priority check-in/boarding. The airline's Red™ entertainment platform offers guests in every cabin their own seatback touch-screen, with dozens of latest release films, live TV, interactive maps, videogames, a 3,000 song library, surround sound technology and an on-demand menu, which allows flyers to order from their seatback any time during a flight.  With a full service First Class menu and a unique on-demand menu in the Main Cabin, Virgin America was named Travel + Leisure Magazine's "Best U.S. Airline for Food."  Virgin America has also been a stand-out in the industry for its operational performance.  For the past three years, Virgin America has been  the number one ranked carrier in the Airline Quality Rating (AQR) report, an annual study of U.S. domestic airline performance conducted by professors at Wichita State University and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University – measuring on-time performance, customer complaints, denied boarding and mishandled bags.

Since its 2007 launch, Virgin America has created nearly 3,000 jobs. Denver represents the 24th destination served by the California-based airline.
