Flew the new route this week SFO to ORD. A few comments:

- I find the lack of complementary headphones on a flight this long to be pretty annoying, especially when each bag costs $25 in Y.
- F cabin was entirely empty. I think the $299 Y to F cost per segment is probably too high to entice the casual upgrader. VX should consider reducing this fee to promote last minute upgrades and to fill the F cabin.
- Service was hit or miss with two FA's for the entire plane.
- This is probably my sixth VX flight. But my second time in Y, on other flights I had upgraded to F. I was surprised that the gogo wifi was $12.95 and any movies and on demand television came with such high prices. I also found the Dish Network video quality to be very poor. Channel selection was unimpressive.

Overall I'm still a big VX fan - minus Elevate - but I was pretty unimpressed with this "long haul" flight. My only other long haul was SFO to MCO, but I had upgraded to F and it was a redeye, so most of the above "issues" I didn't experience.

Just my 2 cents....
