San Francisco and Los Angeles to Chicago

Virgin America has finally announced its expansion into the Chicago market with new direct flights from San Francisco and Los Angeles to be launched in May.

The airline has been making noises about launching O’Hare services since its introduction in August 2007.  It has been thwarted by both passenger and apron logistical problems but these have now been resolved.

Virgin America will offer three times daily schedules to San Francisco and twice daily flights to Los Angeles.

Whilst Virgin America will come in with its very individual product, including on-board TV and wi-fi, it will face stiff competition from American Airlines and United Airlines who currently dominate the market. www.virginamerica.com
