They'd be nuts not to provide onward connections with Virgin America. I think that's pretty much assured, which will be a great thing, because as you said, Virgin America are expanding quite well.

I'll certainly look to connect with Virgin America since my final destination in USA is always SFO...and I'm sure Virgin America will have excellent prices for LAX-SFO flights.


Also, is it now official that V Australia's IATA code is indeed VA? ... so we have DJ, VS, VX and now VA..all pretty much working together

Ironice that Virgin's domestic operations within Australia are with 737s, while in the US they are using A320s (direct competitors)... and on the international scene VS's main long-haul aircraft is the A346, while for V Australia the aircraft of choice is the 773ER (direct competitors).

Gotta say though, the V Australia 773ER in those CAD animations looks fantastic!! Can't wait for later in the year when Scott L' delivers us some early pics of the aircraft from BFI.

I'll be there and you should have them the same day - or a day ahead of when taken

Just out of curiosity Lukas, but what makes you say they are expanding rapidly? The fact that they are now flying or do you know something I don't?

Apparently Sir Richard said at the ball last night that there will be a special announcement later this week which will be exciting for queenslanders.

Lloyd

Only 7 flights in Amadeus at least 10 planned.
