Virgin America is set to launch next month, becoming the country's newest discount airline. But at this company, low fares don't equate to minimal amenities or low service. The carrier, a sibling to successful Virgin Atlantic, will offer first and economy class and promises to be the first U.S. airline with mood lighting; MP3s onboard every flight; outlets for 110v power; and an inflight entertainment system with satellite TV, games and more than two dozen pay-per-view movies. Passengers can order fresh food whenever they want it, from the screen at your seat. Impressively, Virgin America is a cashless airline. Place your meal order, swipe your card, and that's it. No more, "We appreciate the correct amount" from flight attendants.
Initially, Virgin America will serve Las Vegas (LAS), Los Angeles (LAX), New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), San Francisco (SFO) and Washington/Dulles (IAD) -- presumably to connect easily with Virgin Atlantic flights. LAX-SFO and LAX-JFK are the first routes to launch on August 8, with others to follow.

I flew Virgini Atlantic from Boston to London a few times and loved it. I wish Boston was on their schedule too.
