A good sale for nonstop service between New York and Los Angeles. This sale has been going on and off for the last two months or so. When it first started, travel was good until February. Then it got extended until April 1st. Now it has been extended until April 29th.

Virgin America is not playing along — they have the most restrictive travel period. Only good until March 15th
