  • Etihad Airways pulls the plug on Virgin Australia partnership

    Nov 19, 2024, 07:33 PM

    It's now looking like Alaskan paid a HUUUUUUGGE premium (US$18/share) compared to true market value (US$5-10) for Hawaain, so I'd imagine they're focused on cost cutting there within the constraints imposed by the regulator, no time to consider the Australian market.  

  • Virgin business class upgrades just got more expensive

    You may be right, but at the moment VA has a first-mover advantage over QF in the service given to J-class fares, but that window could easily close over 2025-2026, particularly if VA is hanging everything on the QR alliance.  

  • Adelaide’s new Qantas Club lounge is now open

    So, leaving aside the cost differential, would it be fair to say that there was better F&B available in the public areas/food court (albeit at a co$t) or would that be too harsh?

    Right the money, a-gain.  Virgin should trail on the BNE-SYD-MEL corridor 6 planes with 20 business, 18 EconomyX and the rest Eco and see how the bookings go.

  • Virgin Community - Focus Group Invitation

    Aug 26, 2024, 11:12 AM

    Just received my first invitation by Virgin to attend an in-person focus group meeting next month. Sadly, I'm unable to attend - and there's nothing I can do to avoid that conflict as I'll be overseas that week. But I felt that Virgin deserves a bit of a 'shout out', credit or recognition here ...
