Velocity Level above Platinum in the future?

Unfortunately I have no call to travel to Perth so can't sample that offering at the moment. Around 90% of VA seats heading out of MEL for example are to other destinations so the PER A330 service does not typify the VA offering. Similarly VA only flies 5 international aircraft with international standard business class cabins (165 seats) as compared to QF who fly about 50 aircraft of this kind with around 2000+ J/F seats.

Is the 8.3% number VA meatal or are codeshares included. Are a big part of the numbers are Trans Tasman?

The government figures are based on marketed flight numbers, given its 5 versus 50 odd when it comes to J metal yet % of passengers flying is 8.3 vs 17 for all passengers, cannot say the so called premium traffic is really delivering the goods , especially when you look at the balance sheets.

Perhaps so which would probably reinforce the thought that VA won't bother trying to attack the "super premium" end of the market. (again, I don't think they are capable of it anyway )
