Virgin America Flight Status

About Virgin America

Virgin America, based in United States, operates under the ICAO code VRD and the IATA code VX; its radio callsign is "Redwood". On this page you can follow Virgin America flights and find the airports it serves.

How to read a Virgin America flight number

Every Virgin America flight number starts with VX, followed by up to four digits: that is the number on your booking confirmation and boarding pass. In flight plans the same flight carries the ICAO prefix VRD, and controllers address it as "Redwood". One thing to watch: codeshares. A ticket sold by another airline can be operated by Virgin America and vice versa; live tracking follows the operating carrier's number, so if your search comes up empty, check the "operated by" line on your booking.
