I had been planning for months to take my wife to NYC for her birthday since she had never been.  We had the opportunity to fly Virgin America from LAX to JFK.  All I can say is that if you haven’t flown VA before, you really need to try it out.  I felt more like I was going to a club rather than cross-country on an airplane.  Everything is so well branded from check-in to inflight services.  Take a look at their safety video.  It give you a feeling of the approach to flying.

They also offer a state of the art entertainment system called “Red”.  It allows you to watch Dish Network programming as well as order food and drinks from your seat.  When you’re hungry, you simply select what you’d like to eat, swipe your credit card, and they bring it to your seat.  Here are some pics from the flight:
