New VAustralia Flights to Phuket/Johannesburg

[Andrew M]

But when have these rules that have been "stretched too far" actually caused any problems ?

Or is the nanny state mentality starting to take over everything

Hi, anyone know why it´s not possible to book a ticket HKT-SYD-HKT on the V Australia website ? There are only local sites for south africa, new zealand, australia and usa. If I wanna book the flight via the virginblue site I have two chances: a flight via PER with DJ via the DJ website and the other option is a redirection to the VA website and no option to book this flight.

try calling them, you may be able to do it on the phone.

Just used V australia website
no trouble finding flights or proceeding through booking process
(didn't completely finished - just came back from HKT - magnificent staff & flight!)

Andre, just incase you're not aware; V Australia doesn't fly direct from Phuket to Sydney, only from Phuket to Brisbane or Melbourne.

However, that aside, I'm surprised the website isn't giving you the option of flying HKT-BNE or HKT-MEL on V Australia with an onward flight to SYD on Virgin Blue?

[Radi K]

hmm - ETOPS anyone?

@Brendan
Yes I know, that the flights operated to/from BNE with connection to SYD opb DJ. But I found a better way to australia. I have an offer from Asiana: FRA-ICN-SYD-ICN-FRA for 800€ ( equals 1230 AUD )
