Where: Australia

Since the complete re-branding of the airline from Virgin Blue & V Australia to just Virgin Australia, the company has been busy creating a full-service carrier coming from a budget model. It's a tough job with so many pieces, mushing together the planes, crews and service into one happy family and one brand.

We spoke about the domestic attention the sleek and sexy business class has gotten, but now it's time for the international Boeing 777s to get the overhaul. There's only good news here; all three classes will be spruced up.

From Business to Premium Economy to Economy, the new theme is a contemporary design utilizing the signature Virgin signature red and purple palette. The seat covers, headrests and cabin dividers will even get the same leaf pattern featured in the newly refurbished lounges all over Australia. Beyond aesthetics, the seats will remain the same, just a bit more comfy and new fabric.

Virgin Australia has already started flying one new aircraft, with the rest of the birds trotting out the new look by the end of the year. Best news of all, these are the planes that fly from Oz to the US, so you may get to check 'em out sooner than you think.

Our mates down under at Australian Business Traveler dropped the news and got the photos, so check 'em out right here.
