Virgin America today launches a "Sweet 60" fare sale to mark the airline's order of 60 new Airbus A320 aircraft – with fares starting from $60, restrictions, taxes and fees applying. The three-year old airline is one of the fastest growing U.S. airlines of all-time, and will nearly triple its fleet size with the new order. With incredibly low fares across its network, Virgin America is encouraging flyers to book a seat today on the "up and comer" carrier named "Best Domestic Airline" in Conde Nast Traveler's 2008, 2009 and 2010 Readers' Choice Awards and Travel + Leisure's 2008, 2009 and 2010 World's Best Awards as well as best-in-class in the 2008, 2009 and 2010 Zagat Global Airline survey.

Virgin America is known for its unique in-flight experience and offers mood-lit cabins, WiFi, power outlets near every seat and the Red™ platform - the most advanced in-flight entertainment system in the skies. The Red touch-screen platform offers 30 films, live and premium TV, Google Maps, music videos, videogames, seat-to-seat chat, a 3000 MP3 library, an on-demand food menu and a first of-its-kind digital Shop section.
