Virgin America

Virgin America (VX/VRD) was a U.S. low-cost passenger airline headquartered in Burlingame in the San Francisco Bay Area, with San Francisco as its primary hub and Los Angeles also used as a hub. Its former frequent-flyer program was Elevate, and the airline was not a member of oneworld, Star Alliance, or SkyTeam. For travelers, the key context is historical: Virgin America was acquired by Alaska Air Group and integrated into Alaska Airlines, so current booking, check-in, flight-crediting, and loyalty decisions should be based on the operating or marketing carrier shown on today’s itinerary rather than the retired VX brand.
