Off-topic even further... would it be possible for VA to codeshare with more than one American domestic carrier, or much wiser to go with one large partner only?
(eg: having Virgin America codeshare to SEA, SFO and LAS, but then also having DL/NW codeshare for the rest of the US continent)

Virgin America just don't have the route network, frequencies and therefore the reach yet. VA pax will want more on-travel options than those currently offered by VX.

They can codeshare with multiple partners as long as those partners don't overlap too much or aren't direct competitiors. Most codeshares are agreed to on a route-by-route basis, rather than on a whole-of-airline approach.

Cheers

Yeah, that's the key drawback with codesharing with VX, but if it is done on a route-by-route basis, then there are a few compelling reasons for VA to be open to the idea of codesharing with VX on certain routes.

Thanks for explaining that Andrew.

V Australia are not codesharing with Alaska to Seattle, it is available as a connecting flight with the AS code.
