inflight duty free
is Virgin Australia still doing Inflight duty free? I can't seem to find the mag on their site. it used to be very easy to find. but now its no where to be found. did they stop doing duty free?

They had not been doing so on the LAX flights.
There was an announcement last year about it being introduced for their newish Hong Kong flights but I can find little more on that.

I should have clarified, This is for SYD-LAX for my return in October.
I know the mag used to be on the site and I've purchased on a previous SYD-LAX flight. this earlier this year.
some how its gone from the site, wondering if its gone from the plane too.

Inflight Duty Free was expanded to cover the LAX flights late last year after the initial trial on MEL HKG
eg https://www.news.com.au/travel/trave...9abe6d5a4de98b
Maybe the QF Demise has been a catalyst, or it’s just fallen into a black hole that is occasionally the VA website.

No duty Free was offered as far as I can recall and I was awake for most of it.
Maybe the crew forgot?
