Nothing beautiful about CNS-HND in a 737!

True.

If CNS-HND does come to fruition, I suspect this may also be partially Queensland Government funded via the AAIF, it certainly meets the criteria for it (e.g Inbound Tourism and Jobs).

JQ will kick up a stink though with their CNS-NRT and CNS-KIX flights, or are these already funded by AAIF?

Not sure about CNS-KIX/NRT, but Jetstar's OOL-NRT is funded via AAIF with the airport operating partner being QAL (Private company Owner-Operator of Gold Coast Airport).

Meh, just screams like some new advertising campaign or something.

What's the possibility that it could VA's version of QF's "Look! we got new toasters in the Hobart Lounge" style announcement?

It looks like a good old Virgin Australia hangar party, nothing to announce.

Excuse me! It was an announcement of a sandwich maker thingy in the Hobart QP.

Does anyone know where we can find the original of that one?

I don't think that is even tonight. Some of those tagged people in the insta story would indicate it occurred in a previous week.

It is just a new campaign launch. Remember when they did all that "uptimist" launch.

I linked to it in this post, but the link seem to be broken. But indicated announcement in Feb 2016.

Actually I did see that the inside of the winglets on NBV has the updated “Virgin” written on them.

Looks like this is no longer hypothetical!

I believe Virgin Voyages got a plug at the show too

Today is the 23/10/22.
Middle seat lottery?
Meaning we can't too easily buy comfort seat bookings anymore (?), as a lot of people who are VFF would put their interest into getting that middle seat for themselves, and VA would not allow too many comfort seat bookings.

I thought the middle seat lottery was a party of two booking an aisle and a window and chancing nobody would take the middle seat.
