Virgin America Teams Up With HBO to Launch New JFK-LAS Service A

VIRGIN AMERICA TEAMS UP WITH HBO TO LAUNCH NEW JFK-LAS SERVICE AND ENTOURAGE SEASON 5

Virgin America and HBO today will launch the airline's new non-stop route from John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) to Las Vegas McCarran International Airport (LAS) and unveil "Entourage Class" on the new flights. A custom Virgin America Airbus A320 "Entourage Air" will take center stage at a star-studded send-off event before embarking on the inaugural flight, which will feature the in-flight advance screening of the first episode of Entourage Season 5 (premiering on HBO on Sunday, September 7).

Virgin Group Founder and Chairman Sir Richard Branson, Entourage Creator and Executive Producer Doug Ellin, and cast members Adrian Grenier, Jerry Ferrara, Kevin Dillon, and Kevin Connolly will kick off the event by christening the new aircraft with Dom Pérignon. Flight guests (including top Elevate frequent fliers) will walk the red carpet to board "Entourage Air" for two memorable firsts: the first-ever in-flight advance screening of a cable or broadcast program in the U.S. and Virgin America's first non-stop service from JFK to LAS.
