I have flown VA business a couple of times across the pacific but earlier this year was my first time in the new 'suite' style seat. Here is my experience...
After arriving on a connecting service from Melbourne I took the Virgin Australia shuttle bus over to the international terminal. My bags were checked through so there was no need to stop by the check-in desks but this is what they Aussie Flyerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10268693112997876579noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3365070700073874228.post-88514729858121533032017-08-08T17:25:00.004+10:002017-08-08T17:25:46.674+10:00Virgin Australia Business Class : Melbourne to Sydney VA811

For my trip to India I decided to start on the east side of the country (Kolkata) and work my way west and south, ending in Goa. Since I was coming in from Bangkok this meant I needed to find a flight from Bangkok to Kolkata and once I realised Drukair was an option, there was simply no other choice! I headed straight to the Drukair site, which is remarkably user friendly, and booked flight Aussie Flyerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10268693112997876579noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3365070700073874228.post-57159458049070140802017-01-19T00:32:00.001+11:002017-01-19T00:32:33.277+11:00A Ride On A 'Classic' - The Double Bogey A320 With Air India
Here's a look at another flight I took on my trip around India from November 2016. This flight was from the beautiful town of Udaipur to the metropolis of Mumbai. I booked it with Air India since their price was hard to beat and the timing suited me too. Originally this was scheduled to be flown with a fairly new A319 but a couple of weeks before departure the timing was changed slightly and theAussie Flyerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10268693112997876579noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3365070700073874228.post-22593100728380239722017-01-11T15:57:00.003+11:002017-01-11T15:57:42.815+11:00Jet Airways Domestic Business Class : Mumbai to Goa B737-800 9W472
The route between Mumbai and Goa is extremely competitive with Air India, GoAir, Spicejet, Vistara and Jet Airways all flying the route. Most operate either the A320 or B737 for this flight which is usually under an hour in duration. On my trip to India I decided to use Etihad miles to book this flight as I found the prices pretty high on the day I planned to travel.

During my trip to India a couple of months back I used the services of several local airlines, including the LCC IndiGo which is now the largest carrier in India in terms of passengers carried. They are one of the worlds fastest growing airlines with literally 400 Airbus A320's on order! Quite incredible.
I had the need to get from Goa to Bengalaru to meet up with my Singapore Airlines flightAussie Flyerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10268693112997876579noreply@blogger.com2
