Calculated Speculation: V Australia Edition

March 27, 2008 at 2:30 PM | by djk | 5 Comments

Is V Australia about to officially announce LAX-SYD service at a press conference? That is the likeliest first route--or perhaps SFO-SYD--for the international arm of Australia's Virgin Blue Airlines.

We hear there's an "event" happening in Los Angeles this Monday, 3/31. Let's say this is the big shebang and we get an official ticket sale date and launch date (probably early fall '08) for LAX-SYD...will they give us cabin details? And more importantly, PRICING? Where do you think V Australia is going with these details?

We say: hopefully, as far as pricing goes, to the sub-$1000 (round-trip) sweet spot...sweet spot for flights between the U.S. and Australia, that is. Oh, the soothing lullaby of skies opening up...

    Why would you want a Hershey bar

    When Australia has the Crunchie, easily the greatest mass-market candy bar ever?

    I'll trade you as many Hershey bars as you want for Crunchies, Flakes, Maltesers, and Smarties!!

    If they do choose LAX-SYD, I hope SFO-SYD is to soon follow.  I, too, hope prices are under $1000 round trip, even during the Dec-Jan high season.  Otherwise, to me, its much ado about nothing.

    When you've got Crunchies and Maltesers all year round, the grass is always greener on the other side. Just for the record I only like those white choc Hersheys with cookie dough bits. Perhaps I'll come and grab some myself if the fares get that low.
