V Australia is the long haul branch of Virgin Blue and they have just announced a daily direct Sydney-Los Angeles flights as their inaugural trans-Pacific route when they take to the skies from 15 December 2008.
The airline has also announced that Northwest Airlines will join forces with V Australia to offer travellers convenient access to destinations across the United States of America and Canada.
The Timings mean that our passengers can fly to LAX and then on to Sydney with V Australia, and vice versa. So, from London, our customers can either go east or west from December.

SYDNEY announced as V Australia's operational base
Monday 31 March 2008: Sydney, Australia: Australia's newest International Airline, V Australia, has announced
daily direct Sydney-Los Angeles flights as its inaugural trans-Pacific route and a premium product offering when it
takes to the skies from 15 December 2008.*
The announcement was made in Sydney today by Virgin Blue co-founders Sir Richard Branson and Chief
Executive, Brett Godfrey, together with New South Wales Premier, The Hon. Morris Iemma.
Sir Richard Branson said, ÒIn a delightful case of dŽjˆ vu, I was here eight years ago at Customs House with Brett
in Sydney announcing our intention to launch a new airline for Australia. That airline was Virgin Blue.Ó
He continued, ÒI am excited to be back here today to join the Virgin Blue and V Australia teams in unveiling bold
plans for our new international airline and we are hopeful our Australian friends will join us for the ride.
The trans-Pacific route is in dire need of competition and a good shake-up and that's a challenge we are always keen to take
on.Ó
Sir Richard Branson added, ÒThe launch of V Australia means the Virgin Group for the first time will offer a global
network of airlines that allow travellers to fly worldwide on Virgin airlines' that all share the same vision and
commitment to safety, service, fun and flair.Ó
V Australia Airlines officially starts selling seats today, just in time for Christmas travellers to take advantage of the
competitive fares.
To celebrate the Ògo liveÓ sale date, V Australia Airlines is offering Australian travellers 1,000 International
Economy seats between Sydney and Los Angeles for $999* return inclusive of all taxes and charges
of approximately $415 (Internet sale fare). Every day economy fares will start from $1899 return which is 16%
lower than the current lowest available published fare on the route for the same travel period (as at noon Sunday
30 March 2008).
The launch of V Australia Airlines will be the first time ever there has been a second Australian airline competing on
the trans-Pacific route. It comes just weeks after the Australia and US Governments signed an historic open skies
agreement, allowing Australian or US owned airlines to fly freely between the two countries.
V Australia Airlines will offer the full suite of products expected of an international long haul airline but with its usual
twist of innovation as part of its three class offering.
The airline has also announced that Northwest Airlines will join forces with V Australia to offer travellers convenient access to destinations across the United States of America and Canada.
The Timings mean that our passengers can fly to LAX and then on to Sydney with V Australia, and vice versa. So, from London, our customers can either go east or west from December.

I have merged the two V-Australia threads to keep all of the info in one place.
