I love that the default city is based on location.

I don't think it is. I'm in St. Louis and the default is San Francisco.

Just one quirk with the home page. Read down to the bottom, and then I tried to scroll back up, and it would stop at each "Section" and would not let me just continue scrolling up.

OSX Firefox 29.0.1

The new boarding pass design is fantastic. Every airline needs to do at least that part immediately.

VirginAmerica, you can't brag about your site's responsive design and then tell me I have to turn my phone to Portrait mode when I'm in Landscape.

Looks slick, but felt like the actual booking process was extraordinarily disorienting. Too much movement and jumping around.

Agreed. Maybe it's better on a touchscreen than existing interfaces, but changing the dates for my flight to check price difference was a huge pain. I'll be sticking with google's flight search.

Best scrolling experience I've seen in sites like this. It might not be right for all sites, but I would like to see it almost everywhere from now on.
