I was thinking of flying VX from LAX-ORD,do you recommend F/Main Cabin/Express for my first travel with them?
Main Cabin Select. The first time you get to order whatever you want through the touch screen is kind of fun.

If you have really fired AA, you are going to wish VX had a lot more flights to a lot more places...

My flight today SFO-SEA was excellent. Gold Match (from UA 1K), so free MCS, and I decided to spend the additional $39 for F.

Seat pitch (and seats in general) in VX F can't be beat - domestically anyway.

IFE is good, not the biggest screen in the world, but it is not too far from your eyes.

WiFi. Can get overwhelmed by users.

Some kind of vegetable / cold / garbanzo(?) / sauce thing wrapped in a green tortilla for a snack. Truly underwhelming.

Constant, attentive service.

For this flight though (<2 hours), the free upgrade to MCS is probably good enough.

Working to earn 5,000 points by 4/30 to maintain Gold.
