Default VA puts VH-XFH back into service with new seats

I am not sure how good the coffee will be with their new Nespresso partnership but the seats look good in Business.

I see VH-XFG is sitting in MEL for the last week. Any ideas what's it doing there? I would have though it would be in Singapore now for 2nd of the reconfigs

I've got a Nespresso machine at home and love it. What I'd be more worried about is what happens when your Nespresso machines go u/s at FL350 on a transcon!

How many times has your Nespresso broken down?
I think it's a great idea. They use pods anyway in every other airline that I know of. This is just branding. But good branding.
I have a Nespresso too. Awesome things.

My last one broke down once, hence my new one. But it makes one cup a day, sometimes 2. It probably won't happen but I see a riot if it does Beats plunger coffee hands down (beats most cafés too)!

I am on my fourth Nespresso machine so a fan, just wondering how the milk coffees will go in a pressurised environment.

Looks like VH-XFG was done in Melbourne between 14th and 25th. Saw XFD sitting out at the Melbourne Jet Base, next in line I guess.
