Would have been great, except for it suffers from the same problem the existing VA site suffers from. Almost every time I use the VA site, "something goes wrong". I just tried to book tickets for next week, got all the way to the end to pay, hit submit and "something went wrong". They just put a pretty front end on a broken booking system that breaks almost every time I use the site. The only thing I care about is th…
From a design perspective this is one of the most beautiful airline booking designs I've ever seen, but from a usability perspective it might just be the worst (save for maybe RyanAir). The cities being laid out in a grid looks nice but is ultimately far more difficult to understand then just looking at an alphabetical list in a dropdown. Auto-picking your departure city based on your current location is admittedly a…
Other than that, great job and hopefully they take a closer look at how to take advantage of desktop screen real estate better before taking it out of beta.
This is super slick. Design wise it's ahead of its game, instead of another flat design website. I love how they put "life" into their brand with those avatars and make it fun in this all too boring process of buying tickets. To be honest, I would be jealous of how innovative Virgin is lately when I'm another airline. UX wise there are some things I would do differently. There are some rough edges but it's an iterati…
The scrolljacking really makes for a terrible UI/UX. Designers: why is this something we're seeing more often? What is the main benefit?
I really don't like this new UI. Instead of having a sorted drop down, now there's a bunch of boxes I have to look through to find the one I'm searching for. Takes a lot longer than it used to. Example: http://cl.ly/image/3D0f2u0Y300Y
I disagree. I prefer the new bigger box UI. It took a mere moment to understand everything is in alphabetical order, and scanning through them was much quicker than trying to pick from a dropdown list.
With this mobile-first grid layout, there's no shortcut. You have to read each and every entry and then haul the cursor over to select one.

I can't stand the fonts. Why is it necessary to make the letters on a 120px font what feels like 1 pixel wide :( I can barely make out the characters at all.
