Funny as VX is rumored to make a like announcement tomorrow.

The new Premium Economy seats are being rolled out rapidly across the fleet. They are now on sale for travel from March 15th.

Great idea, i Flew with the a couple of times in November across Australia, and they are a great Airline.
It may just be me but i don't understand this quote from there website.

Freedom to cancel your flight within 24 hours after the scheduled flight departure

I maybe wrong but that says to me you can fly the service then when you get there you can cancel and get your money back, now thats what i call service. I wonder if it will catch on???

I think it means it's basically a fully flexible fare.

They are certainly coming in cheaper than domestic QF business class fares and you dont get lounge access for those flights either.

Oh yeah, my bad i didnt read the rest of it[:I]. I thought it was too good to be true.
