It was always needed so they have access to each others domestic networks at each end otherwise things were going to be really tough. Good news for V Australia being a start-up airline more so than Delta.

Also VAustralia will now have morning and afternoon deps SYD-LAX.
You will be able to buy a round trip ticket SYD-LAX and go out on V Aus and return on the Delta flight. Anthony T |

But useless for each other FF members. Ie Why would a Delta FF fly on VA when they don't earn miles etc. Most airlines have interline agreements, so it is hardly ground breaking! Now if it was a FF partnership or code share that would be something else! |

Is it just an interline deal? if so, big deal; Virgin has many of these. It's a bigger deal if it involves code-sharing, joint fares and FF tie-ups (ie: can I book the DL flight via the VA website etc? This would prove valuable to both airlines, but I agree more so to VA than DL.

So VAus and Delta are together. Does this mean that Virgin Blue and United are no longer together?

Also worth noting Delta also have an interline agreement with Qantas - it REALLY is nothing special... Delta probably have 100 or so of these. It basically just means they can ticket each others flights on the one ticket and through check baggage. The through checking of baggage is probably not a huige deal anyway given you have to re collect and check yourt bags if transferring in AUS or USA |
