A seat on Virgin America's inaugural flight from New York to San Francisco did not come cheap for the winning bidder of an eBay auction that ended yesterday.
Virgin America is a new airline service that will begin operation on Wednesday, August 8. The first flight from New York's JFK airport to its hub in San Francisco was not open to the public. The invite-only flight will include live music performances, complimentary food and drinks, and will be filled with celebrities, including Virgin founder and knighted billionaire Sir Richard Branson.
In addition to two round-trip tickets, the eBay auction included an invitation to Virgin America's ground-level party in San Francisco and one night in a nearby hotel. After 64 bids, a bidder named "hppmceo" nabbed the package with a bid of exactly $5400.
