I'm posting live from seat 8B on this flight... VX8001. 
The service works well, stuff like VoIP, VPN, email, Hulu, etc all work reasonably well. I'll post a full report and pictures once we land.
The tail number is N638VA, for those of you who keep track of such things.

For anyone looking for a freebie, I'm flying Virgin now LAX-JFK. I found a code online for a free pass for a flight. I was suspicious that it was a one-time use code, but it's working for me, in any event. I think it was even from an AirTran promo.
Anyway, free code is:
159FLS7421
Hope it works for ya!
