VAA A330 SYD-MEL flights

[Leon H]

Can anyone provide a schedule for this service? I remember seeing here earlier on this board VAA A330s doing SYD-MEL. Would this be a regular occurence?

Thanks

From what I've heard, they're only on weekends. I've traveled in the A330 MEL-SYD on DJ885 on a Saturday evening, while one was traversing in the reverse direction. I thought this would be a regular occurance, however I can't find any flights MEL-SYD on the A330 in the evening on Saturdays at the moment. :( There's one SYD-MEL on Saturday evenings and one MEL-SYD early Sunday afternoons from what I can gather. Unfortunately the Virgin Australia timetable (http://www.virginaustralia.com/Personal/Bookings/Timetables/index.htm) doesn't list the A330 as yet.

Can anyone shed light on the service offering when booking a premium Y fare and sat in the J class seats on these A330s from SYD<->MEL? presumably, there is complimentary meal, IFE, etc but i guess no limo service that comes with J class.
