Check Out These Pictures Of Virgin Australia’s Gorgeous New Business Class

@2paxfly : That link you posted about losing 2 toilets is very much CORRECT....However business NEVER lost 2 toilets....... They ALWAYS had 3 toilets in both the OLD config and the NEW config........ the 2 toilets lost were at door 3 which is in the economy Cabin....... Theres are still AMPLE toilets in Economy especially in the rear of the cabin.... As for China Airlines version of this....... Well each airline have their own aesthetics and this for Virgin is seamless alongside their Domestic fleet as well as their lounged and the whole branding........ The wood Veneer or fake wood on China Airlines would also outdate, makes for a very cheap look too.....so we can say any material would be good for the future because anything will date overtime. I mean take a look at Emirates cabins, they STILL have that wood veneer look, but its almost looking modernised because they have the money to splash on "GOLD" trimmings here and there and everywhere even on their coffee....... Virgin Australias poduct is the one to beat over the Pacific. but while comfortability is very improtant, its the onboard crew that has made ALL the difference especially with Virgin Australia International, there is just a professional yet personable feel about their international crew!

It is not easy finding a business class award seat on Virgin Australia using Virgin America points. In April I was able to book 1 business class reward seat in July 2016 on an LAX-BNE flight. It was VERY difficult to find a day which had an open reward since Virgin Australia only makes a small number of these seats available to its partner airlines. When I found an open date the Virgin America agent told me that it had been a long time since she had seen an open business class seat.

@Josh, Premium Economy sales not down the drain per se. VA is now pitching the product as a Business Lite rather than Economy Plus and as a result Premium Economy now has 41 inch of pitch, rather than the 35-36 that other airlines offer. Hence there are less seats in the cabin to accommodate for the bigger pitch.

The bar area is quite well done. The seat is giving QF's new J some competition.

Flying BNE-LAX on old product tomorrow....sigh. Booked with expectation of new product install no later than Q1. Oh well, will certainly beat QF J we had on the way over.
