I can't find this information on the website so am hoping that someone can help me.

I'm trying to find the dates of the final V Australia services for :

SYD/NAN/SYD
MEL/JNB/MEL
BNE/HKT/BNE
MEL/HKT/MEL

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

BNE-HKT last service (VA23) was on the 20th of February, operated by VH-VPE.
HKT-BNE last service (VA24) was on the 21st of February, operated by VH-VPE again.

Hope this helps!

That would make sense as it positioned to Sydney the next day to operate the inaugural service to Abu Dhabi.

That's right - it was flight VA9020 24FEB MEL-SYD and I was on it!

It was only for media/trade and we had about 60 pax all up. The front and back of the plane was where everyone sat for balance purposes. From door 2 to 4 it was empty. Boy what an amazing and sharp take off - such a light load and no cargo - those 77Ws go for it. Very quick 53 min flight.

Amazing product and great crew! A great way to fly to LAX and AUH.
