Virgin America Makes Its Last Flight

Virgin America has been a airline staple since got its start back in 2007. The brainchild of billionaire Richard Branson prided itself on being a fun airline that embraced the Virgin brand lifestyle. 

Back in December 2016, it was announced that the unique airline had plans to merge with another airline giant, Alaska Airlines. Little changes had been made to Virgin since that declaration until recently. 

As part of the merger, Alaska Airlines has begun the process of ridding itself of the Virgin name and all its branding. This includes removing all signage and kiosk at airports, redirecting the Virgin website and socials to Alaska's, and transitioning existing Virgin employees into Alaskan employees. It is a pretty hefty task given the company's branding being in 29 airports as well the combination of both companies' employee roster of over 20,000 people.

Virgin America's last voyage is expected to take off in LA at about 9:30 pm and make its final landing at Virgin America's former home base in San Francisco.  

I wonder if they will keep the safety video because honestly, it's the highlight of my flight. If you haven't seen it, check it out. It's pretty awesome.
