Tiger return? I’ve been waiting for them to take Virgins measly one daily from Melbourne.

If not Tiger probably VA metal NTL-ADL or OOL. Probably a lounge too.

 

[kevrosmith]

Oh... interesting. Subscribed for updates...

VA “Regional” Lounge and expanded range of flights (Sorry, haven’t kept updated with what’s happened at NTL lately...)

NTL-PER to go with the newly announced HBA-PER...

NTL-PER to go with the newly announced HBA-PER...

Yes. using A380s I heard at the Bunnings coffee shop. Impeccable source. 4 times daily.

Please don’t spread Galley Gossip rumors, mate. You know as well as I do that Virgin Australia only has enough A380s for a double-daily service....

 

[ozstamps]

Yes, but my source said it will be the version with all Business Class bed suites, so will be a great SC earning run. Newcastle is a major hub for Virgin - Hong Kong twice daily as well I hear.

ATRs flying Sydney to Newcastle with maintenance going to Newcastle.

Today Virgin posted a question on Facebook ‘What’s the shortest route we fly’

So the answer is SYD-NTL to be announced tomorrow.

How far apart are NTL and Port Stephens...?

Edit: opps, I just realized Williamtown is half way to Port Stephens from Newcastle. My NSW geography ain’t that great.

I had heard that international flights out of NTL were on the cards. No idea if that's what this announcement is about, but if so, my guess would be NTL-AKL.

Building a @Princess Fiona lounge?

I’ll go for the following

NTL-AKL
NTL-SYD
Lounge

Man, if they do a lounge at NTL before HOB there's gonna be some screaming from down south!

Maybe theyre just going to announce NTL will get a lounge.. you know, like they did for Hobart back in 2012
