Every Flight on Planet Earth in 72 Seconds

Virgin America is Smart

I flew Virgin America the other day and I noticed something they did that is really smart.

They’ve stopped using little stickers for when you check luggage.
Instead, the barcode is both your boarding pass AND your baggage claim check.

Less paper, more smarter.

And the flight was pleasant and clean.
Now if we can get them to run the planes on Biofuels, we’ll be rocking.

Take a gander at Virgin America’s site.
