Virgin Business class

Just wondering if DJ will always deploy their business class equipped B738 on a PER vv service if it is not operated by an A330. I may go to PER later and want to know whether it is crucial to pick a A330 service. :D

Yessir:

Route tracker at thevasource.com confirms all BNE/SYD/MEL - PER 738 flights operated by 8J/168Y aircraft.

Thanks Ian.

Having sampled the DJ 737 J product on a few occasions over the last few weeks I would still try and get the 330 if you can. I like the 737 J product but it is very much a domestic product similar to what you get on a US carrier as domestic first. The seat is comfortable but has limited recline, no foot rest and IFE is provided using a hand held unit with a very limited selection.

Thanks Kelvin. Seems like I will be going over with an A332 and return with an B738. The timing for coming back is not suitable for me. It is either a morning departure or an red eye. :(
