The aircraft: Airbus A330. Virgin Australia has six A330s, each fitted with 20 'The Business' seats. These planes are most commonly seen on the Perth to Sydney/Melbourne/Brisbane routes, although that will decrease later in 2017 when some of them are redirected to Perth - Abu Dhabi and possibly Australia - Hong Kong/China routes.

Virgin Australia Business Class - Booking. Having flown Qantas business class on the eastbound flight, then, I had booked Virgin Australia A330 business class for the westbound return using 21,800 Etihad Guest miles plus about $20 in taxes and fees.. On paper, booking Virgin Australia via Etihad Guest is harder than booking Qantas via Avios, because Etihad Guest miles are slightly tougher to.

Virgin Australia Business Class A330 - The Business. Let me start by saying this was a totally different experience to our Perth to Sydney flight. You would think it was on a completely different airline. We flew on the A330 from Sydney to Perth on the 7 pm flight which takes around 5 hours.

Virgin Australia has now retired its two oldest Airbus A330 aircraft, leaving the airline with a fleet of six A330s to ply the east-west transcontinental routes. The airline leased two of the twin-aisle jets from French corporate and investment bank Credit Agricole in early 2011 as part of the relaunch from Virgin Blue to Virgin Australia, with the aircraft kick-starting Virgin’s.

Legroom-wise, the Economy pitch of 31" is average, the Business class pitch of 60" is average, though of course what that means.

Virgin Australia's Airbus A330 generally offers a better experience than the Boeing 737. If nothing else, having a twin-aisle jet compared to a single-aisle plane just feels so much more spacious! Seats are a bit wider and have more recline. I usually try to book on an Airbus A330 on transcontinental flights to and from Perth where possible.

Virgin Australia's long-haul fleet included four Boeing 777-300s and six Airbus A330-200s. The A330s are leased, and the airline owns its Boeing 777s. During long-haul flying downtime, the A330s frequently got deployed on transcontinental east-west flights in Australia. But the post voluntary administration Virgin Australia will only operate.
