1) Most comfortable coach I’ve experienced on any domestic carrier. Roomy, well-designed seats, nice leg room, seats sit at a pitch that maximizes stretch space.

(2) Obscenely comfy white leather seats (with “massage” feature) in first class. Pretty reasonable first class fares (I suppose they’ll be higher later, but they’re comparatively quite low right now).

(3) They’re using open source software in every place possible. Linux galore. (Hey, how soon before there’s a hack or prank, I wonder? If someone mile-high-goatses a VA plane, there’s always a unicorn chaser in the fleet to soothe).

(4) In-flight, seat-to-seat chat. Now you can bitch about babies crying or barf-inducing turbulence — with emoticons! Or group chat around each TV channel (while you watch TV), or join topic-based chat rooms.
