Will be interesting to see how it pans out, I am more then happy to book on Air Pacific, but am also curious as to the flexibility of VAustralia in this regard... will update soon

Hi Brad,

Thank you for your email.

We understand that when you migrate to another country, whether it be
permanent or temporarily, you do need that extra luggage allowance. However,
unfortunately V Australia are unable to match the baggage allowance of Air
Pacific as baggage allowance is not something that we are able to negotiate.

We would like to thank you for your interest in V Australia and we sincerely
apologise that we are unable to assist with your request. Should you have any other inquiries please do not hesitate to contact us.

Kind Regards

The V Australia Team
