You live in the city with the most VX flights; I only have two from BOS. The VX route map is
very small compared to UA but if they meet your needs, great.

If you are happy paying more for your First upgrade than I pay for my ticket or can afford to avoid the uncertainly of complimentary upgrades clearing by purchasing First Class, VX may be the best match for you. (I routinely fly trans-con for $300 round trip (complimentary upgraded more often than not) - yes I know I am not profitable to the airlines - but my job as a consumer is to choose what best meets my needs, not the airline's) Most business travelers must pay much more than I do and what best meets your needs will often be different than for me.
VX is an excellent airline for some. I simply gave a couple reasons it is not for me. Why the attitude?
