2. Virgin America
Previous rank: 2
Why its awesome: Once again, Virgin America is not only the best low-cost airline in North America, its also the best airline on the continent. The San Francisco-based boutique carrier offers the style and high quality service expected from a Virgin-branded company, but with the competitive prices of a low-cost carrier. In April, the company was sold to Alaska Airlines for $2.6 billion. It is unclear what the future will hold for the brand.
