JetBlue apparently had so much fun selling cut-rate tickets in Washington, DC that the carrier is taking its Happy Jetting Happy Hour to the West Coast.
While part of Florida is having serious issues when it comes to goats, Seattle has invited 'em over en masse.
Sea-Tac has contracted a local company called Goat Trimmers to provide about 200 animals to organically trim weeds on airport grounds. Says the outfit's website:
Skip the mowers and get your goat. The scrub grass we loathe is like French fries to billies, so rent a few four-legged lawnmowers for pesticide-free weed-clearing.
There's no word on how long the critters will be grazing at SEA, but it likely won't be for more than a couple days, so get there now if you like your farm animals with heads attached!
We're a bit embarrassed to admit that today was the first we'd ever heard of Hainan Airlines. We're clearly behind the times on this one, as the carrier is China's fourth-largest and the country's biggest privately-owned airline.
Hainan is now making its first flights to America, with four-times-a-week service between Seattle and Beijing, giving you another non-stop option between the US and the Olympics. (Don't get your hopes up, though: Hainan doesn't use the new Terminal 3.)
For now, Hainan is flying Airbus A330s, but once Boeing finally rolls out the Dreamliner, you'll be able to fly SEA-PEK in carbon fiber bliss.
Virgin America is announcing today that tickets are on sale for service to Seattle from both Los Angeles and San Francisco. Flights between SFO and Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) will begin on March 18, 2008, with three daily roundtrip flights. In addition, three daily roundtrips between Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and SEA will begin on April 8, 2008.
Virgin America's SFO-SEA fares start at $77 one way in the Main Cabin and $177 one way in First Class. LAX-SEA fares start at $99 one way in the Main Cabin and $199 one way in First Class.
We totally called it. This makes us two for two on nailing VA destinations before they are officially announced -- San Diego and now Seattle. Actually, a huge assist on this one goes to Jaunted member herz, who stuck with the VA to Seattle call out, even after SEA airport spokesman Perry Cooper denied that Virgin to SEA was a done deal. Oh, and to all you unnamed email tipsters and accidental tipsters -- hats off to you as well.
Port of Seattle Commission President John Creighton said:
Virgin America will offer Puget Sound travelers an additional airline choice with some unique, tech-driven features and flight amenities. The addition of Virgin America to Sea-Tac Airport will help further economic development and tourism for the Seattle region and the state.
This will be the first new destination under new Virgin America President and Chief Executive Officer David Cush.
