Virgin Australia has resumed flights between Melbourne and Los Angeles, with serviced being operated five times per week in each direction by the airline’s flagship Boeing 777-300ER aircraft.
Virgin Australia Airlines Group Executive, John Thomas, said: “We are delighted to commence services between Melbourne and Los Angeles today, bringing the Virgin Australia flair and sophistication to this route.
“Los Angeles and North America is an important market for us and through our partnership with Delta Air Lines, we offer passengers 25 return flights per week across the Pacific and remain the only trans-Pacific alliance to offer Business Class guests lie flat beds with direct aisle access on all services.
“Delta will also codeshare on our Melbourne services, and passengers can earn Velocity Points and Status Credits, have their baggage checked through and enjoy reciprocal frequent flyer benefits on the ground,” he said.
