Virgin Australia has launched Business Class on flights on most domestic routes across the country.
For the first time in over a decade Australian travellers have choice in Business Class, with the service on offer on most domestic routes operated by Boeing 737-700 and 737-800 aircraft, and on the airline’s fleet of Airbus A330 aircraft.
The new offering includes premium cabins with luxury leather seating and generous recline, a gourmet food and beverage service, as well as complimentary access to Virgin Australia’s lounges and priority security screening, check-in and boarding.
Renowned chef Luke Mangan and acclaimed designer Hans Hulsbosch were among the experts assembled by Virgin Australia to develop its domestic Business Class offering.
Virgin Australia Group Executive of Commercial Liz Savage commented: "Last year we announced our commitment to bringing Sydney Lounge's Premium Entry competition to Business Class travel in Australia and today we have done just that.
"We have also led the field in Australia by introducing priority check in; baggage and boarding and premium lounge entry in Sydney Domestic Terminal 2, which is all part of ensuring a quick and seamless experience for premium guests. In the last quarter of 2011, we have had Business Class available on trans-continental services and the feedback from guests has been excellent, demonstrating that the market is readily embracing our move into the domestic Business Class market."
Virgin Australia's premium product prices start from as little as $429 one way from Sydney to the Gold Coast and $529 one way from Sydney to Melbourne. Go to Virgin Australia to find out more and book tickets.
