v_australia.jpgSomewhere over the Rainbow way up high; there is a new Airline in the sky taking you to the Magical Land of OZ and that is non other than VAustralia.
 
My recent experience on VAustralia’s Inaugural flight began with the very friendly check in staff at LAX to boarding my flight and being handed a glass of bubbly (this was given to all of the passengers) as we made a toast throughout the aircraft for the Inaugural flight.  As I sat back in my International Business class seat I soaked up the sleekness, freshness and crispness of this new 777-300 aircraft.  The quietness of the engines and vastness of the wing span so amazed me. In all of the cabins from Economy to Premium Economy to International Business Class, there is such spaciousness and openness.

My recent experience on my flight to Brisbane and return from Sydney has left me with so much excitement.  VAustralia is a definitely a new dimension in air travel.  The in-flight service is refreshing, fun and offers the friendliness, graciousness and hospitality that is so much of the Australian Culture from the in-flight staff.  They always have a v-australia-business.jpgsmile and time for a chat; making each passenger feel so welcome and special.  The comfort of the seats and roominess in either International Business, Premium Economy or Economy Class is so impressive.  In the International Business class section the seats make into completely flat beds.  I loved the nice soft pajamas that were given out to wear and keep in the Business class section..  Both International Business and Premium Economy class have their own bar areas  You do not feel like you are traveling in a cattle car in any class of service.  Especially nice too is the mood lightening and the special effects of stars in ceiling after the evening meal service.  Also the recessed mood lighting on the sides of the cabins are so nice and soft.  I must mention, too, the great food.  Both dinner and breakfast were quite good and the food tasted so fresh.  There is also a great wine selection.  The fully touch tone monitors are state of the art and offers the latest in-flight entertainment.
 
v-australia-business-class-bar.jpgVAustralia is definitely doing some very clever and witty implements onboard from the clever animated safety procedure cartoon that really draws ones attention to the coffee cups in both Premium Economy and International Business Class that rest on a saucer and when you pick up your cup the saucer reads; “I am your flying saucer”.  How fun to have a chuckle to see how Branson has made flying fun.  All I can say is that VAustralia is true value for money and puts the fun back into flying,

Getting to the Land of OZ can be fun when you fly VAustralia, A New Style in Air Travel.
