RIP Hawaii-bound Airbii Those flights were always quite enjoyable on the VX A320s & A321s, even before the ViaSat was fully operational.

Glad I got to experience the very first VX Hawaii flight and now one of the final flights last week HNL to SFO in F.

On that inaugural SFO-HNL flight back in November 2015, I somehow sat in 4C directly behind then CEO David Cush in 3C (with Richard Branson sitting up in 1F). Sir Richard used the F cabin as his office to take interviews with all of the media who were on board. He occasionally danced a conga line down the aisle with hula dancers and uke player.

Got nostalgic revisiting these photos...


Pre-departure Mai Tai's and hula show at the SFO gate @ 8AM








My GF and I, pretty amazing experience






On stage there you had then VX CEO David Cush, Sir Richard, the mayor of Honolulu, and I can't remember who else.


Flying the VX experience to/from Hawaii was an amazing run while it lasted!
