DJ 737 Business Class

I'm hypothesising, but you should get the current Premium Economy service - full selection of whatever you want from the paid Economy menu, included in your fare. The seats should be a nice bonus.

True, I wonder why Virgin offers a MEL-PER-DRW but not on the return flight.

Althought if you book them seperately, to experience the coast-to-coast Airbus business class service, DRW-PER, 2 hour wait at Perth then PER-SYD-MEL.

It makes the journey from DRW-MEL 14 hours long! but imagine the adventure..... lol

Small point - 14 hours will get me from MEL to LAX, more or less.. certainly a nicer 14 hours to be spending in the sky!

[size=-2]Then again, I'm very guilty of ridiculous runs through the US that took way longer than a direct flight would have taken, so I can't really talk..[/size]

hahaha well 14 hours is also the same time it takes to fly from Sydney to Abu Dhabi on V Australia....or Melbourne to Sydney on the countrylink train (been there done that, thank you Chilean volcano)

If I was travelling solo from DRW-MEL, I'd certainly take the long way, but I don't think my other 2 travelling companions would put up with my cross country 14 hours itinerary.

I found one of the flights, PER-SYD-MEL, is flown all the way in the Airbus metal, so thats the huge 60" seat all the way to Melbourne!

My condolences IME, long distance train travel in .au just isn't up to par as compared with the US and Europe.

Which is why I won't be TrainTravelAddict anytime soon

That's the same seat map I am being shown for my two flights this week (DJ816 on Thursday and DJ885 on Friday) and since they show the exit row as rows 13 & 14 I am fairly certain these are aircraft equipped with the new interior. I'll report back on Thursday once i've flown the first leg...

At this stage -

DJ 816 SYD - MEL is scheduled to be VH- VBV 737-700
DJ 885 MEL - SYD is scheduled to be VH- VOK 737-800 ( refitted interior with business class)

but things can change

Its showing the same for my brothers BNE - SYD leg of his transcon on Friday. *(DJ950)
I will get him to email me one he hits the lounge in Syd to confirm if he had proper business seats...

At this stage -

DJ 950 BNE-SYD is scheduled to be VH- VOU 737-800 ( refitted interior with business class)
