Okay so V Australia how now been launched and flights on sales and seating etc detailed roughly

They had a $999 return SYD-LAX fare for the first 1000 people, which sold out in about 12 hours, not bad!

Now back to my point about Y+

VA - MEL-LAX Y+ is around $3700
NZ - MEL-LAX Y+ is around $4200

This should put more pressure on NZ to upgrade their premium economy now especially on the 777's

VA - 20 inch wide seat, it will have to be 2-3-2 config as no way 3-3-3 will fit at 20inches wide. NZ is 17.8 to 18.5 inches wide

VA - 38 inch pitch - Same as NZ basically

VA - Food/drinks not really specified but should be in between J and Y in terms of quality/service

A very nice product from VA and I hope that NZ don't take until 2010/2011 to respond as they will surely loose some market share from VA.

Intersting times ahead
