Beginning Nov. 18, Virgin America
Beginning Nov. 18, Virgin America will begin two daily round-trip flights each from San Francisco and Los Angeles to Fort Lauderdale, its 10th destination. Connecting service to Fort Lauderdale will be available from its other West Coast airports, including Seattle; Orange County, Calif.; San Diego; and Las Vegas.
Virgin America CEO David Cush tells USA TODAY that the carrier likes the region's demographics and that it's cheaper to operate at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood than Miami International.
JetBlue, meanwhile, says it will fly one daily round-trip flight between San Francisco and Fort Lauderdale beginning Nov. 17, one day before Virgin America's service is scheduled to begin.
