In advance of their joint venture, the carriers are moving to implement code sharing, frequent flyer programme reciprocity and lounge exchange privileges, the Virgin statement said". http://news.airwise.com/story/view/1247118804.html US travellers might want to check Virgin prices first... http://www.vaustralia.com.au/booking...x.htm?city=SYD I was checking this yesterday and noted the code share talks from the vaustralia site. Delta could use the hlep on this routing as well. Their planes are flying, from the look of available seating, at pretty low volumes. The two starting together against Qantas were actually fighting each other more than the big red roo. When the smoke settles I see V Australia doing the flying and Delta supplying the passengers. just my .02 USD Joseph Coulter Joseph Coulter Cruises and Vacations www.josephcoulter.com |
