Tired of striking out at the singles bars? Then you might want to try a Virgin America flight.

The airline has launched a new service that allows passengers to send a drink to someone on the plane who's caught their eye.

It's done through the airline's in-flight entertainment system. Passengers pinpoint their designated hottie with Virgin's digital seat map, browse the menu and have a drink, snack or meal sent over.

Passengers can also follow up with a text through the seat-to-seat messaging system.

Virgin launched the service this week to mark the start of its Los Angeles to Las Vegas service, but it's available on all of its U.S. flights.

Send drinks...LOL.
I like that.

Followed soon by mile-high restraining orders?

What's that - a 20 minute flight?

How long until you can rent a “mile high club” closet for 10-15 minute intervals during the flight?

[Slings and Arrows]

Regrettably, I don’t have the legs (or the plumbing) to benefit from that service.

[Slings and Arrows]

It’s thirty seconds, but the pilot swears it was half an hour.

We have an account with Virgin as we travel with our production company from L.A. I will admit, they have a nice ambiance in the plane. One thing that bothers me is even the flight dudes wear pink on their unis’.

[Slings and Arrows]

At least this time He’ll have to hit a moving target.

[Slings and Arrows]

Sounds like truth-in-advertising to me.

Lather, rinse, and repeat.

"How bout some Ouzo for twozo?"

[max americana]

I forgot to add, they have some good-looking chicks on their flights. Tried to hit on one, though..;)

I live in Rochester, NY. Many moons ago, flights to Chicago first stopped in Buffalo, about 50 miles away.
I didn't know that and the first time I flew to Chicago, the plane started going down after only a few minutes and I just knew we were crashing.

Emirates has showers on there A380's.

Will that work?

Wonderful. Women are going to love this. If some creepy lecher sends a woman a drink and tries to flirt with her in a bar, at least she can leave the bar. Now she’s a captive audience.
