Travelocity and Virgin America today announced an official distribution agreement to make the new California-based carrier's flights available for Travelocity customers. Flights from the brand new airline are known for moodlighting, a state-of-the-art in-flight entertainment system and a host of other inventive features. Virgin America flights will also soon be added to Travelocity vacation packages and the famous, deal-scouting Travelocity Roaming Gnome will be dropping in on select Virgin America flights this Spring to surprise guests.
