Remember that crazy/insane insane/crazy launch party for V Australia the other week when Sir Richard Branson popped champagne off the enormous wing of the V Australia 777 (in the rain!) and gave us a tour of the plane's interiors? Well, the event wasn't all USC cheerleaders, Ozzie accents and Outback hats, although those were aplenty. We actually learned some things too.
Like V Australia's plans for Melbourne. Starting September 15, Schedules, flights from LAX to Melbourne will begin and we were able to get our pudgy hands on some flight details.
· Flight No. VA 11: Departs Melbourne at 9:15am. Arrives in LA at 6:40am that same day. (And who says you can't go back in time?!?)
· Flight No. VA 12: Departs LA at 10:30pm. Arrives in Melbourne at 7:15am (two days later.)
Both flights will be departing on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays. V Australia also has plans for travel to Johannesburg from Sydney and Melbourne but no word on when that starts.
