Flights to Orlando, Toronto

Virgin America is going to Disney World. The airline today announced new daily nonstop flights to Orlando from Los Angeles and San Francisco beginning in August. One way fares will start at $149 and $199 respectively.The three year old airline also announced plans for its first international destination, with direct flights to Toronto from Los Angeles and San Francisco, pending a decision by the Department of Transportation. Three more destinations are also in the works for 2010.

The new routes come on the heels of Virgin America’s announced plans to expand its fleet of aircraft by as much as one-third by 2011. The airline’s low fares and in flight amenities like Wi-Fi at no extra charge and power outlets have helped build its brand and strengthen customer loyalty, according to Abby Lunardini, a spokesperson for the airline.Being based in San Francisco, we have a lot of very tech savvy flyers, she said. And our proposed expansion to Toronto in particular will link two of North America’s largest high tech centers so we foresee that this will be a strong market for us as well.
