The fact that VA's outlined their plans to fly to South Africa, this idea of 'doing it ourselves' may explain why VA haven't as yet created an agreement with VS. I mean, why wouldn't VA eventually hop on to the Kangaroo Route even if there's a load of capacity already on their? (pardon the puns ) An Australian-based airline should find enough of a market on this route, right? |

re needing more partnerships.... I think they will struggle to take FF's away from QF without a broader program and reciprocal lounge/benefits for FF's.
IE... why would a QF gold/plat move to VA? Currently they can travel pretty extensively with Oneworld and get reciprocal lounge access etc etc. Currently velocity gold just gets you access to Virgin Blue's lounges. I think they will struggle to get the Y+/J cabins filled unless they have a better offerring for FF members. |

I thought it was some copyright issue like you said but that's a faint memory now! Agree with everything else that you have said, given the airline doesn't have a first class, very surprising that it has gone for the Skybed option. Again we are getting the Skybed impression from one YouTube video. Granted it was a V Australia video and look pretty good! So I guess it's safe to say that the Skybed would be used. Would have been a good differentiator having a J suite instead of the Skybed J seat. No matter what seat they put, it will be VERY hard for V to grab the high end business customers from QF. |
