As I understood it too and I'm sure they will be flying the longer route via Hong Kong.

Alright Nat

Try this link

http://airreview.members.beeb.net/News/index.htm

Scroll down the page to the relevant article.

It has no definate dates for Virgin to go to Oz but just says summer 2004.
It also has a good article that QANTAS will be flying direct from LA to Brissie from 14th June 2004.
So thats good news for people who intend going via US as at the moment I think we have to go via Auckland or Sydney.

If you go to the main part of the site it gives good run downs on the services operated by the airlines who go to Oz (Singapore, BA, QANTAS, Thai etc).

cheers

TT

Virgin have been flying to Australia for years under a code share arrangement with Malaysian.There are usually a couple of Virgin Stewardesses on Malaysian flights.
They are the Blonde ones in red High heels and skirts
Most airlines codeshare.
Maybe they will start using their own planes.
Can't see that it's much to get excited about though
