Virgin America announced Superfly Wednesdays which allows flyers to make connections over complimentary drinks. You can mingle in the air with the other guests by chatting with your neighbours or by using the in-flight chat rooms. Superfly Wednesdays now includes 2 flights every Wednesday from San Francisco to LA or San Francisco to Las Vegas.
I'm not sure what to make of this? Seems to be just more of a publicity stunt than anything else. In May they had some celebrities on these flights which included a few America's Next Top Models winners and some musicians. There is no mention of why Match.com is a partner and I am not sure why they are since anyone (over 21) can buy tickets for the flights (no compatibility matchign at all). It seems to be more of a party than a real singles event since the free drinks are promoted more than anything else. Maybe this should be geared towards bachelor parties or something similar?
When I looked at booking a ticket online at Virgin there is no mention of the Promotion so is a family flying on this flight going to be in for a surprise?
