V Australia inaugural SYD-LAX flight in economy

[odysseus]

Thanks Fifa for the pics... I think V needs to change their cater, the food looks horrible...

Not just me then, I had a similar thought.

Maybe there was something to that joke letter to Branson a while back about the food on V Atlantic...

Thanks for your report Fifa, lots of helpful tips and detail. Sounds like you had a great time on your impromptu trip.

Those Cinnamon pancakes look great!

Thanks for the pics Fifa - I'm booked on the inaugural flight BNE > LAX (08/04) ... I'm staying at the Sheraton Gateway next to LAX and I'm thinking I've picked the wrong hotel

After google-mapping the sites I want, they're too far away and I'll need a hire car!

Despite the less than appealing food photos, the waffles and pancakes were really good and were a pleasant change from the usual airline breakfasts which economy passengers receive.

Great TR Fifa,

Guess the food is a case of tastes better than it looks!

I agree - some of the breakfasts served on Qantas (ie those frittata things) are awful! I do like the BA cooked breakies and the VA waffles look yum.

Flew in Business Last week on V Aus, but I still like Virgin Atlantic's Upper Class, it's tops

great pics fifa. was the tv on the arm in a bulkhead seat? i will be flying with vaustralia soon and have booked a bulkhead seat and i was wondering where the tvs would be cuz all i know is that they're in the armrest. thanx! by the way i've booked in for row 20 seat K.

was the tv on the arm in a bulkhead seat?

I think the screen folded under the armrest/seat. The tray was in the armrest.
If the flight has spare seats, you may be better to ask for a row of 3 - much better for sleeping!
