Song is the low cost airline operation of Delta Airlines, sort of an in-house equivalent of Southwest Airlines or JetBlue from what I understand. I discovered the airline when shopping for tickets to fly to NYC for Blogon 2005: $292 for an SFO/JFK.
The airline flies single class Boeing 757 with comfortable leg room. Actually I am seating at an exit row and the leg room is *huge*. There is an entertainment system with 20 TV channels, pay per view movies at $5 a pop, games and a selection of a thousand-plus MP3 files.
You have to pay for the food which actually seems OK, and not too expensive, and only alcohol beverages are charged.
Staff is very friendly, with a jean and a cool flashy t-shirt (that matches the color of the cabin). Recorded safety instructions at the beginning of the flight are spoken by an Irish gal with a very thick local accent and Irish folk music playing in the background, cracking a bunch of jokes. Net result: I listened to safety instructions for the first time in years (I know – my bad).
Very clever. I’ll be back.
Sounds like JetBlue!

First and the last time, I’m afraid…
