Alaska Air put in a bid to buy Virgin America for $2.6 billion

Alaska Air is thinking in big, one would think that there service is limited to the state of Alaska, there you would be wrong, Alaska air actually does domestic flights leaving also from LAX and other international airports around the West Coast. The reason that it is thinking in the in the fact that it has just purchased Virgin America, now don’t get me wrong Virgin America really doesn’t have such a huge fleet and apparently their slice of the cake regarding domestic flights is only 1.5%, however from what I do understand it came at a very pretty price, considering that Alaska air bought up all the stock therefore is 100% owner now all Virgin America.

From what I understand Alaska air is also looking toward the east coast of the United States, where there seems to be a couple of trouble and deeply in debt air transport companies that could be promptly up for sale and Alaska air would like to get their hands on them as well in order to ask and their domestic flights from coast to coast.

While there are many airways companies that are going broke, while there are many that are cutting their staff, there are others just like Alaska air that are actually hiring, expanding and offering an incredibly good service and a very good price. I don’t know how many of you have flown with them, I have personally say it was a delightful flight from LAX to Portland in Oregon and a few months before I flew from Anchorage Alaska all way to San Diego.

What I noticed during those two flights is that I got to free drinks, I could check in with carry-on luggage without any fee, the headset and the cushions were also free and because first class was full I was bumped up to business, they actually call it a master class at no additional cost, it was a great flights it was like I was lying down on the La-Z-Boy at my lounge at home LOL.

Because of me having a very good trip with this specific company I thought I would like to mention the news of their expansion to all my readers, and if you ever get the chance to be on the Pacific coast and in the need to fly, if you have the choice I do suggest that you go with Alaskan air.
