Today's ord-SFO flight may have been full but we had 2 empty seats in F. It left ord 90 minutes late (bad rain storm 2 hours before scheduled departure) and arrived at SFO about 90 minutes late. But all pax cooperated when FA asked everyone to not exit until those connecting for SFO-OGG could exit and make their connection.
F meal was a lovely chicken dish that was different from our chicken meal last week.
My only ord-SFO comparison is with ual and aa. Vx F is still my top preference. I accept that it may be worse in the future but my next flight is thanksgiving holiday.

I flew SFO-BOS RT for the first time on VX this past Saturday, returning yesterday (Tuesday). I had read here that this route is especially busy and very difficult to get a (paid) F upgrade, so I made sure to log in *exactly* 24 hours in advance of both flights.
Turned out it was unnecessary -- I had an empty seat next to me in row 2 on both flights, and there were actually only three people in the whole F cabin on the return flight from BOS. That was the emptiest F cabin I think I've ever experienced on any VX route.
