If you book a business fight on V-Australia, do you get main cabin select or first on a Virgin America leg?

Welcome to FT.
It actually depends on which aircraft as some of Virgin America's do not have first.
But just checking with rough dates and most of them from BOS to LAX do. You will be in first..but do confirm with the airline when booking that it's not First in a Main Cabin seat.

All virgin america aircraft have a first class section. A friend of mine flew V Australia in J and connected to a VX flight. He was given a main cabin select seat for the domestic flight in the US.

Was it a formal connection? If so, it should have been in a First seat. :confused:

I just did a dummy booking on the Virgin Australia site and it says that BOS-LAX is in Business Class. As VX don't have J, one would assume that you'll be in F on that flight, hopefully. Both VX F and VA J are wonderful.

So far as I can tell, VA flights in J with connecting VX flights book the whole lot in to D or I - both D and I are First fare classes for VX.

It's not as simple as that. There are definitely cases when fares are interline capable and offer F class on domestic sectors when a transoceanic flight is included in the same itinerary. REMEMBER, V Australia (the new Virgin Australia) and Virgin America are NOT the same company, but cooperate in interline ticketing agreements. These circumstances are changeable, so nothing is set up permanently.
You cannot assume anything is simple or black or white in the airline industry. There are complexities in airline rules and especially FARE rules that confuse even the experts.
