I guess it depends on how greedy the airline is, but i wish Qantas would get a few instead of their quaint turboprops.Im glad to see a choice with the food..besides the classic cheese platter ,hoping this covers melb as wellI don't think you would find public servants in Business  - the rules are pretty strict now and it's only likely to happen if they are travelling with the minister.FWIW some politicians travel in Economy too - I've spotted the Member for Kennedy in Y.RG1: that's an interesting observation, although I was under the impression that the more senior public servants still fly buysiness class.David: The entitlement is Economy for all domestic travel under 3 hours. Post meta.

Virgin Australia tells us that the new seats will be fitted across its Embraer 190 fleet by the end of March 2013. I’d managed to arrange a last minute trip up to the Coffs Coast to go check out Rally Australia. It was nothing truly special, partly due to me having had no actual interactions with any Virgin staff the whole period I was there.I’ve only had a few years experience in flying domestically in Australia, so I can only think that the publicity surrounding Virgin Australia’s new lounges (and broader strategy of moving upmarket) is because Qantas now have someone positioning themselves as a worthy competitor. Virgin definitely came up to their standard, but not beyond. Noodle salad – note very fresh looking ingredients!The descent into Coffs was typically pretty – a great sunny afternoon view of the hilly landscape of the central NSW coast.I’ve used Qantas’ domestic lounges at Sydney T2 and T3 a fair bit. Virgin Australia E190 Business Class. (My E190 flight back from Canberra was almost full in business class, the travellers largely had that 'senior public service' look about them but perhaps were consultants or were public servants enjoying an upgrade. Includes complete model package and texture. The cost-cutting includes withdrawing the entire Embraer E190 fleet over the next three years and reducing the size of Virgin Australia Regional Airlines’ ATR72 turboprop fleet. Go. Last year I took a BA E190 from London City Airport to madrid barajas and it was the most comfortable economy I've experienced in a long while. )I've taken quite a few E190 flights now and I don't might them at all. 8; Next. Update on Virgin Australia Holidays. The E190s are popular with passenger for their more comfortable cabin layout.

Photos & review: Virgin Australia's new E190 business class The pointy end of the original E190 was closer to the airline’s now defunct premium economy product: two rows of a standard economy seat with just a little extra legroom.The aisle angles sharply back into a centre line running the length of the plane’s 2-2 economy section.The seats themselves are covered in leather, well padded and quite comfortable.It almost seems live overkill on the Capital Connect service – a flight that’s barely a half-hour long and can be as little as 23 minutes in the air – but the politicians and public servants do enjoy their pampering.Virgin lists the seat pitch at 38 inches (96.5cm), which delivers ample legroom.The sizeable meal tray has plenty of room for a 13 inch notebook...... as does the seat pocket in row 2, so you can stow your laptop when your meal arrives.Even folded in half, there's still room for your in-flight cuppa while you catch up with reading on your mid-sized tablet or Kindle.We were pleased to see more variety than expected on this short Sydney-Canberra hop.On our afternoon flight to Canberra there was a choice between the familiar cheese plate......  and a  more substantial salad of smoked trout with diced potato, horseradish and dill.The sweet spot for Velocity frequent flyers in E190 economyPhotos & review: Virgin Australia's new E190 business classBest Qantas Frequent Flyer credit card sign-up offersAustralian border closure, overseas flight ban to remain until 2021Singapore Airlines returns to Perth, with Boeing 787-10 flightsWhat do business travellers really want on 'triangle' flights? Dec 26, 2011 #1 I discovered the following on Virgin Australia's business class page. below, then click 'Submit'. its like car tyres. Some things are just always meausred in imperial. seat pitch is one of them. interact with our community. third they are all in inches. It says the aisle seat must be left free during takeoff although pax may opt to move into the aisle seat after takeoff, however it seems thats not true as my wife flew to Brisbane on the E190 the other day in Business and they filled all six seats with passengers.Can anyone explain me why VA is blocking rows 3-10 on the E90 or 3-12 on the 73H?

Virgin Australia, the trading name of Virgin Australia Airlines Pty Ltd, is an Australian based airline subsidary of Bain Capital.It is is the largest airline by fleet size to use the Virgin brand. With Virgin Australia’s upgrade of its Embraer 190 business class now underway, The E190’s aren’t restricted to this super short hop, of course – you’ll also spy them on the Sydney-Melbourne and Sydney-Brisbane routes.Virgin Australia tells us that the new seats will be fitted across its Embraer 190 fleet by the end of March 2013.The revised layout has a simplified seatmap with both rows whittled down to a 1-2 layout.There's a single seat (1A or 2A) on the left, with two pairs (1D, 1F, 2D, 2F) across the aisle, for a total of six seats at the pointy end.The E190 borrows some design touches from Virgin’s Boeing 737-800, including the perspex divider panel and ‘thou shalt not pass’ white snake to separate the business and economy cabins.And when you catch the E190 on a Sydney-Melbourne or Sydney-Brisbane flight you’ll definitely appreciate the increased comfort factor.... but without a seat in front, of course, under which you can tuck your feet.We measured the business class seats at 19 inches (48cm) wide, which is curiously the same as the economy seats – although in economy of course you need to allow for the armrest whereas in business class every centimetre of cushion space is yours.The return leg to Sydney saw this change to a beef bourguignon lattice pie or a dish of spiced roasted pumpkin, chickpeas, feta and baby spinach.Virgin Australia earmarks the first row of economy on its 737-800s and E190s for top-tier Velocity frequent flyers, and on the E190 row 3 is definitely the place to be.There's an exceptional amount of legroom, due not only to the distance from the front of the seat to the bulkhead......  but also the cut-out at the bottom of that cabin divider.This shot's from seat 3D, and as you can see there's actually more usable legroom than seat 1A!David Flynn is the Editor-in-Chief of Executive Traveller and a bit of a travel tragic with a weakness for good coffee, shopping and lychee martinis.Thanks for the great review!
