I, like many other frequent travelers, have never even seen a Virgin America plane on a tarmac, much less flown on one. (Though I'd like to try it.) They're just not in enough markets yet. I am guessing that a huge percentage of CNT's readers are urban, in major markets, skewed highly to gateway markets like New York. SmarterTravel, on the other hand, is probably more representative of the traveling public at large, including those who live outside the top-10 markets and make less than six figures.

Interesting. Almost makes me want to go test them all out and see for myself. Almost. Hi Tim,
