VARA A320 PER-ADL Services from July 2017

[Pleb Status]

I was looking at options for some upcoming bookings and noted that the VARA A320 are scheduled to operate weekend services between PER-ADL v.v. from July. I do not recall the A320 making their way out of WA very often in the past.

It could be an error as they are selling J on some of these services and I do not believe the A320 has a J cabin. Those booked on PER-ADL in J may want to take note as it could come as a surprise when an all Y A320 rocks up. I assume no wireless IFE also.



I flew on this aircraft a long time ago as a XR charter so have already knocked it off the list...

There was a thread about it earlier this year

I noticed this also recently as looking at using my free return flight for the first weekend of September, hoping they go ahead with the install of the inflight wireless system on these 2 aircraft.

Interesting they are now selling business on the A320. When I replied to the existing thread I recall Business not being sold on the A320 flight.

Think they also head up to Darwin on the weekends.

PER - DRW on a weekend (can happen on a weekday too) is 737-7 usually.
Though one is currently in for maintenance and looks like they are using an a320

VH-FNP, one of only two VARA A320 aircraft, operated VA714/VA719 yesterday and it is scheduled to operate VA718/VA721 today PER-ADL-PER. So the introduction of the A320 onto the PER-ADL route has actually occurred.

It also looks like they have stopped selling J on it now.....
