Re: Virgin Aust Intl for Virgin Aust It has to do with which air operators certificate the aircraft operating that service is registered to. Most of the VH-YI* aircraft are registered to VA international. Some of the former VANZ (ZK-PB*) aircraft are on the VA international AOC aswell.

Re: A330 - XFA/B - Refit? Sorry to dissapoint, XFJ will be delivered with the current J class seats.

The flights are crewed by two pilots and an engineer. Catering is uplifted along the way. Virgin do have agreements with the caterers in Seattle, Hawaii and Fiji. Its usually the engineer that operates the oven and coffee maker as required.

If the seat map when booking shows 29 rows of seats, it will be one of the older -800s with live to air fitted. (the new aircraft have 30 rows)

Cessna 180, the duct is located in the same place on all 800s, the seating layout varies slightly between the older and newer 800s.

For those of you that may be wondering why the window is non existent, its because an air conditioning duct runs from the floor to the ceiling behind the sidewall.

Hi Swanning_it, VOK, VOQ, VUF, VUG, VUY and VUZ are all non-BSI 800s that have been painted white.

VBZ is the other 700 that is owned by VA, the bin lids off VBY are on display somewhere in the Virgin Village. VBU will be leaving the fleet next month and VBV latter this year.
