This rule makes things difficult:
“Under no circumstances can these seats or these flights be resold, bartered or given to other for value”
The aircraft was already sold. It was bought within 45 minutes of being posted on Gilt City. Where do you see that Virgin America is offering it for sale again?
@Taylor – Yep, they’ve opened up a waitlist that you can be added to by following the original Gilt City link.
You could probably buy every single seat on that plane along with passes to CES for less than $49K. This is probably the most profitable flight Virgin America ever has/will fly.
How do heathrow catering outlets meet the needs of airline and airport staff?
