Mile-high technology on Virgin over Vegas

Virgin America has found a new way to entertain high-rollers flying to Vegas.
Using their digital seat map, passengers can send a drink over to the cute girl two rows up and then follow up by texting their favorite pick-up lines.
Sir Richard Branson claims the odds are good of deplaning with a plus-one: at least 1:2.
The service launched this week to kick off Virgin’s new Los Angeles to Las Vegas routes, but it’s available on all US flights.
Who knows? Using an in-flight entertainment system and seat-seat messaging system may just replace the singles bar. In less than a week, it already has a name.
It’s called "flight flirting."
