New Service Between SNA and SFO

It's beginning to feel like the 1960's and 1970's here in California with the number of flights between the Los Angeles area and the San Francisco Bay area increasing and with cheap fares. Earlier this month, Southwest Airlines announced it would commence five new daily round trip flights between John Wayne Orange County Airport (SNA) and San Francisco International Airport (SFO) on May 9 and now Virgin America has announced it will do the same beginning on April 30.

Virgin America has been awarded five slots at SNA which include an overnight RON (Remain Overnight) gate. The carrier was to perform it's noise test flights yesterday (Tuesday) but they were posponed due to the cold Santa Ana Winds blowing in SoCal.
