Just stepped off DJ546, while I was flicking through the inflight magazine, Voyeur. I noticed this little article.
While we could argue what full service is (I for one miss the days of Hot breakfast/dinners in economy), am I reading this right in thinking Virgin have 'officially' announced their plans to move to full service catering? Hinting that it may take some time?
Based on my observations, it looks like when a route gains a proper J service, such as MEL-PER, they offer free Coffee, Tea & Water at the same time. Perhaps they'll start doing this when other 737 services start selling full J?
Food for thought... [SUB](Pardon the Pun)[/SUB]
Capital Gains
A new shuttle service to Canberra offers more choice.
With up to 10 return services daily, Virgin Australia's new Capital Connect shuttle service between Canberra and Sydney offers three different menus: 'Start My Day' from 6am to 9am; 'Keep me going' from 9:30am to 4pm; and 'Winding Down' from 4pm to last flight, which includes complimentary beer and wine.
"The service is unique to this route and is part of our overall brand repositioning" says Martin Daley Virgin Australia Group Executive Product and Guest Services.
Virgin Australia plans to gradually roll out the product across its Boeing 737 fleet, along with its new 737-800 business and economy class interiors on all domestic aircraft
