Grab your 10-gallon hats and pull up your cowboy boots, kids - there's a new way to fly South. Virgin America is heading to Texas.

We just got word that Virgin America will launch daily flights from the West Coast to Dallas-Fort Worth starting in December 2010. A sneak peak from the Virgin team showed daily flights from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) to DFW as of Dec. 1 and daily flights from San Francisco International Airport (SFO) to DFW as of Dec. 6.

The airline's DFW schedule includes:

• LAX-DFW: two nonstop daily flights
• SFO-DFW: two nonstop daily flights
• DFW-LAX: two nonstop daily flights
• DFW-SFO: two nonstop daily flights

Connecting flights are available from LAX and SFO, of course. And in true Virgin style, the airline is kicking off a sale to welcome in their new route.

The "Texas Sized" fare sale tickets start at $129 in Main Cabin. Connecting flights start as low as $44 on routes like Los Angeles (LAX)-San Francisco (SFO) and SFO-Las Vegas (LAS). Giddyup!
