In the past year, the two operators were operating independently, with Virgin 9,041 passengers (rank 2) and Alaska 3,316 (rank 6 between Delta and JetBlue). From January, Virgin America and Alaska started operating under a common certification, although they will still use different reputations in the coming years. windows.

push ({flush: true}); Next Tuesday, April 24th, the last Virgin America officially launched Sunday evening departures will be into the south. On Wednesday mornings, when the passenger arrives at the airports, it will be all Alaska Airlines all the while. The courageous Virgin America trademark is cancelled on 25 April. Only the slow decline in the number of Airbus planes that fly around waiting for conversion will be a remnant.

Alaska Airlines will include an extra 35 agent at San Francisco International Airport next weekend to facilitate the transfer to Terminal 2. On the basis of recent discussions with Alaska Airlines speakers and senior management, I have revealed 12 things that Virgin America patrons need to know about the "cutover" that begins over night, Tuesday/Wednesday 24 and 25 April, and the prospects for the next two years.

1 ) As of April 25, Virgin America will introduce the Alaska Airlines booking system, which means that there will be only one booking system, one record of passengers, one record of seats and a unique airline line. Fortunately, this will remove the tendency to make recent bookings, track travel or fly Virgin America.

2 ) From April 25th there will only be one website (alaskaair.com), one call centre (1-800-252-7522) and one kind of vending machine for airfield check-ins. VirginAmerica.com's web address is forwarded to AlaskaAir.com. Virginal newsstands are either hidden or taken out. 3 ) All air fares carry Alaska's two-letter AS and Virgin's VX is thrown in the trash can of aeronautical memory (unless, of course, someone chooses to revive the stamp, which Richard Branson has been thinking about).

4 ) If you have not yet done so, now is the right moment to start downloading the Alaska Airline application. "We will be making bodily changes at 29 airfields across the nation serviced by both Alaska Airlines and Virgin America. Alaska Airlines will replace all Virgin America brands and signs with Alaska Airlines brands and signs, encompassing curbs,obbies, ticketing, gate and luggage areas," a spokesman said.

6 ) While everything on the land side of the airfield is converted to Alaska Air blues and blues, you will still see Virgin red on the platforms and airstrips. Virgin older jet aircraft have a vintage, granular and below average backrest maintenance system, so it's good to know that Alaska Air will be replacing it soon.

Upgrade includes replacing the latest consumer system with Alaska's streamed consumer services and installing completely new seating with built-in pill racks that make it easy to experience our consumer system," a spokesman said. Alaska said it had already begun adapting the contents of Virgin's Airbus aircraft to fit the streamed sound of its other aircraft by including more films and TV shows.

8 ) Goodbye, confusing movie "Safety Dance". Lovely, funny and pioneering at the time, Virgin America Security will soon retire. "Virginal America has made a great, well-known security footage that has a constant home on the Virgin America YouTube Channel. In Alaska, a security demo was held prior to takeoff. (This position was unfreeze on all new collection by the end of 2017.) Alaska faculty prefer a unfilmed department display in the room before deed.

Virgin America's security film will stop appearing simultaneously in the entire Airbus aircraft at some point in October. Some of Virgin's most cool innovation was the backrest ordering system, which allowed people to order meals and beverages from the backrest and then take the cabin crew to the seats. There is no need to dine according to a fixed timetable and no need to freshen up with a refreshment via the call buttons of the cabin crew.

It is too shame that Alaska has not yet found a way to get this beyond October, when the cab conversion begins. 10 ) Buh-bye Virgin America signs on its Burlingame Blanc officebuilding on Hwy 101 just South of the BFS. As a spokesman would say, the destiny of this bureau is now uncertain: "We are planning to operate the Alaska Airlines head quarter in the wider Bay Area.

"11 ) Goodbye Virgin America Loft at AT&T Park. Virginal America had a great attendance at the San Francisco Giants matches, and Alaska took over. "by Alaska Airlines in the AT&T Stadion lofts. Alaska Airlines signed an alliance with the San Francisco Giants in September 2017, which will become the company's formal carrier for the next seven years.

In celebration of this relationship and Alaska's dedication to the Bay Area, we introduced an Airbus 321 with the Giants emblem and colours of the team," the carrier said. 12) Last flights: "We' re planning to remember the last Virgin America plane for a group of Virgin America people. It' gonna be the Virgin America 1947 Los Angeles to San Francisco fight.

On-board travellers will be Virgin America staff who assisted with the airline's launch 10 years ago. Another two departures will take place on Tuesday evening, the last flight to Virgin America. Flight 1182 to Newark, flight 1948 to Los Angeles.

All available places can be bought at alaskaair.com or virginamerica.com. "We' re going to have some little surprise for the passengers on these flights," said the spokeswoman. Speaking in a bitter-sweet posting on the Alaska Airlines Blog this weekend, the airline said: "Together we are a new Alaska, with more than 23,000 strongly employed people. The inspiration of Virgin America's inspiration and creative spirit and the love of aviation and travelling shown by those who have come to us through this business combination are highly valued.

" What do you think about the Virgin America losses and the prospects for Alaska Airlines in the Bay Area or beyond?
