Virgin America remains a fan favorite year after year, ranking as the No. 1 domestic airline for the past decade. Creative and friendly staff make for a stress-free travel experience. Readers also noted extensive in-flight amenities like seat-to-seat delivery and chatting — if you want to talk with co-workers or connect with a cute stranger you saw at the gate. The airline has also been praised for its friendly service and perks, like on-demand snacks and touch-screen entertainment systems.
