I don't think it is. I'm in St. Louis and the default is San Francisco.

same here in austin

I'm in Connecticut and it defaults to Orlando instead of Boston.

Odd that other people are seeing a different default.

I'm in New York and it defaulted to New York.

I'm in the Netherlands, it defaults to freezing the firefox.

my guess is it defaults to the closest city that they have flights from. I don't think virgin flies from connecticut.

Yeah, they fly from Boston and New York. But maybe this system doesn't have location services enabled, so it just picked something random.

defaults to SF for me. closest airport to me on their list is IAD, but it is ~6 hours away.
