Like Alaska yesterday, Virgin American is getting in on the fare sale action with a sale of their own–but is it any good? Let’s take a look! You can also see all of the promotion details here. Remember to book by 2/27 to take advantage of any fare deals!

Cheapest flights?
The cheapest flights available are:
- Las Vegas – San Francisco ($49)
- Las Vegas – Los Angeles ($49)
- Los Angeles – San Francisco ($59)
- San Diego – San Francisco ($59)
- Portland, OR – San Francisco ($64)
Remember, use Virgin eleVAte, not Alaska Mileage Plan!
That $64 Portland, OR – San Francisco flight? Only 2,394 points each way on Virgin:
That same flight on Alaska? 5,000 points each way for flights on Alaska metal and 12,500 points each way (!!!) for flights on Virgin America metal:
You could get a roundtrip on Virgin America for the cost of a one-way segment on Alaska!
Conclusion
In my mind, the best aspect of Virgin America sales are the low, low point redemptions. I’d make sure you check out their sale before you book on Alaska–they may have a comparable flight for a lot cheaper!
