Inaugural Update - More Planes, More People Heading to D.C.

Officials had said they were expecting a crowd of more than a million to converge on our nation’s capital for our new president’s swearing-in ceremony on Jan. 20. Now they say, it’ll be more like 4-million. Good News: During the week of Jan. 16 through Jan. 23, Virgin America will operate 3 extra roundtrip flights from San Francisco and Los Angeles to Washington Dulles. According to a Virgin America spokesman, “the flights will operate on new Airbus A320s which will allow for a 23% increase in seats available to guests that week”. If anyone goes, we’d love to hear about it.
