Virgin America vs Jet Blue.

I am currently searching for flights for our upcoming trip for Southern California to New York City. I have narrowed it down to either Virgin America or Jet Blue. We have flown on Jet Blue but have no experience with Virgin America. They both have acceptable non-stop schedules but Virgin is $100 cheaper r/t for 2 people.

Comfort and service is more important to us than saving $100. Could you good folks familiar with Virgin America and Jet Blue give me your opinion on which is the best. Does Virgin America charge for checked bags?

Same reply again.

We just flew them and first class seems to be very comfortable. We flew regular class and everything was great. In regular class, you will have to buy your meal which we did. We did an open jaw and landed 40 minutes early from New York City back to LAX.

I know that you are not interested but they have Internet on the plane. It made the trip go so much faster with my iPhone connected to this forum and other web pages too as well as email.

Here are the charges for the baggage fees. According to this, we paid $20. First class is free to a certain limit.

Thanks for the info Emmy. I just purchased our tickets on Jet Blue. It turns out that the price is the same because Virgin America charges $25 /bag for checked-in luggage whereas Jet Blue is free for the first bag. Jet Blue has more room, free entertainment, and free snacks.
