Virgin Airbus A320 to Christmas Islands - anyone taken this trip?

[ozstamps]

Always wanted to visit both Christmas Island and Cocos Islands and this might be the time.

Can book it on Virgin from Perth, and that takes 8 hours to Christmas Island via Learmonth and Cocos Island stops.

Will book it as a Business award ex SYD but of course the A320 is a one class - anyone flown this - assume it is roughly similar to the 737 experience .. assume Plats can request first row etc, which might be roomier?

Does seem like Exit Row #12 might be the first choice?

Looks like it only flies out Tuesdays? And seems to say no entertainment options on the A320?

I guess if I plan a stopover in Cocos Islands it needs to be for a week, which might be a bit too long, but seems like the only way to see that interesting place.

Can you fly into Perth atm? Presumably you are planning for 2nd 1/2 2022.

Cocos and Christmas Islands - How much time

Hi there, looking to book a 10 day trip to Cocos and Christmas Islands. Given the flight schedules, its a 4:7 night split for either destination. What would you recommend? Looking for quiet and relaxing time, with a little swimming and snorkeling. Thanks! :)

Where's good in October?

Been a long three weeks, but we're getting on top of it. We really like it though, and bub has embraced it with gusto. Not off the points bandwagon as such, just have to be careful with money for a bit. The future may be about buying AA/LM and the like from time to time.

Christmas Island. (AFF community report)

Christmas Island is an usual destination that many AFFers have been to. It’s the type of destination that would get differing reviews depending on what you would expect from an Australian Island. I have been three times, but invite anyone who has been to contribute.
