Cheap Coast to Coast Flights on Virgin America

If you ever want to get a sense of the size of the United States, hop in a car and drive from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Somewhere around Iowa you will start to wonder when it will ever end. The U.S. is indeed a big country, although it doesn’t always feel that way in this age of modern air travel. You can hop on a plane and go from one coast to another in less time than it takes to drive across Oregon.

You can also fly coast to coast for less money than you would spend filling the car with gas and filling your stomach with Doritos at the roadside mini markets. For example, the newest kids on the block, Virgin America, will fly you from San Francisco to Washington, DC for $139 one way. They’ll also let you go from New York to LA for $159 one way. Those are cheap prices when you consider the distance of the flights.

There will always be something special about taking a road trip and being able to truly experience a country, but if you want to save time and money air travel is certainly the way to go.
