Did V Australia actually take delivery of VH-VOZ on 26 January, ie Australia Day, as previously suggested ?
If so, I haven't seen it reported anywhere. And does anyone know when the second frame, VH-VPD, is due for delivery ? |

But I do understand why you're perplexed Bobby because a quick browse through the Boeing website gives no indication of the handover of -VOZ. - Thanks to Michael M. for posting those interior shots. Although it's not vomit-inducing to me, I can't say I'm overly impressed with the fabric pattern they have chosen. That 'coffee bean' pattern on the seats aren't all that flattering, but I will commend them on mixing it up in terms of seat colours. Economy seats themselves look fairly similar to the current industry standard (mainly just comparing those seats to QF's A380 Y-seats), though I have to admit Qantas did a MUCH better job of the seat-backs. That white plastic contrasting against the black screen and plastic doesn't look all that appealing after you've experienced QF's 'carbon-fibre'-like black plastic seat-backs. Premium Economy looks nice and cosy for a 13-14hr flight across the Pacific!

Lucky fella... Shameel, looks like you JUST missed the opportunity!!!
So does this mean that they WILL have taken delivery prior to the 9th Feb??? |

Official delivery occurs in a few hours. Then VH-VOZ flies to Victorville. Back to BFI 5 Feb. 6 Feb is the PR delivery ceremony and then onwards to LAX and eventually SYD as Lloyd has indicated.

I just flew into LAX on Jan. 25th, and I will be heading back down to L.A on Feb. 22nd (driving down there to go see a NASCAR race!)...but VA's delivery flight via LAX just has to be smack-bang in the middle of the dates. Just can't win I say. Thanks for the heads-up though. I'll keep an eye out on the local news here to see if anything pops-up..and if by some miracle I can arrange to drive 5hrs down to LAX just to see VH-VOZ then who knows, I -- Shameel Kumar -- may just have the first photos of -VOZ in LAX on this board... haha... I can hear Bernie and Nigel C saying 'wake up Shameel!!' ..

Rhys, if those seats make you vomit, go and check out some of the seat combos from the 80's.... you'll be in a coma. Especially when they mixed them up, say orange sets next to blue, etc. |

Don't thank me, I found them on another site (pprune), so they aren't mine! I dont mind the Y colours - Premium Y looks good. I saw the bar at the DJ lounge in Sydney and that too did look good. |
