Thank you to our SEA flyers prismwiz and eponymous_coward for your reports, which now sit atop the SEA Trip Reports index.
What a great impression you've made, VX, on these FTers for these flights. Let's hope the standard can be kept up.

Mini trip report: LAS-SFO-SEA
LAS-SFO was in coach (I only did the day-of-flight upgrade for the SFO-SEA leg), not much to report except the plane was full, and I slept on the plane in coach, which almost NEVER happens... but it had been a long night without much sleep. VX's coach is pretty darn comfortable- as a comparison, I flew standby coach to LAS from SEA on AS, giving up my complimentary upgrade to F to get to Vegas earlier, in a less comfortable seat: 32" pitch, 17" width on a 737-400 compared to 32"/19.7" in coach for VX... BIG difference, as I am sort of wide at the shoulders.
SFO-SEA: also not too much to report, but I flew the same plane up to SEA (different crew), but I was in F and enjoyed a great meal and very good attendant service. This flight was ALMOST full.
Several AS regulars like myself were also in F on VX for their first time, and also were blew away by it the same way I was my first time.
