Hong Kong Airlines - Virgin Australia Partnership

[Ansett Nostalgic]

That makes sense.

I recently volunteered at a film festival in Sydney, and one of my roles was to sell raffle tickets. I would approach cinema goers and say "Would you like to get a ticket? On top of supporting us which is a non profit, you could be flying [insert a US flag carrier here] to LA!"

Of everyone I approached, except 2 people, responded basically with this: 'Why would I want to go there."

I would sometimes counter with "Hey, it's LA, that's California, and California is not America!". And people would still say "Nah" or "Still the same".

Some people would say "I would actually love to win the private screening", so I asked those "You would rather a private screening over a trip to LA?". Everyone said yes.



Australia and Hong Kong is now a duopoly. If you actually want to end in Hong Kong and not continue to Europe, CX and QF are charging really high fare. I think here is an opportunity for Hong Kong Airlines to take some of the passengers off CX and QF, especially to start with Hong Kong diaspora.

Film festival attendees on average are going to be pretty left-wing so no surprises with those reactions.

What's the best way to search HX award availability before calling Velocity?
