Svarar på min egen fråga: Virgin med avreseort från Sverige bokas per telefon, inget arvode tillkommer utan det pris du ser på ITA Software Matrix är det som gäller!

Här är den information Virgin har skickat till resebyråer:
"Virgin Atlantic has today announced its intention to withdraw operations between Sydney and Hong Kong from 5 May 2014.
Increasing costs and a challenging economic environment has affected revenues and the route is no longer considered profitable. Virgin Atlantic will continue to operate a normal daily service between London Heathrow and Hong Kong.
Virgin Atlantic regrets that this decision will affect some staff based in Sydney and Hong Kong. A consultation period has commenced with all employees likely to be affected.
Craig Kreeger, Chief Executive at Virgin Atlantic said, “We intend to withdraw our services between Hong Kong and Sydney. Despite the best efforts of our employees, external factors such as increasing costs and a weakening Australian dollar have affected our profitability.”
“These are still difficult times for the airline industry and as part of our strategy to operate more efficiently we need to deploy our aircraft onto routes with the right level of demand to be financially viable.”
It is Virgin Atlantic’s intention that the last flight departing Sydney to Hong Kong will be on 5 May 2014 and the last flight departing Hong Kong to Sydney will be on 4 May 2014. Up to that date, Virgin Atlantic will continue to operate its published schedule and customers can be confident booking flights for travel prior to then"

Men va fan! Det var ju absolut billigaste sättet att resa till Sydney i C. Nu kommer jag bli ruinerad!
Gillar inte att du blir ruinerad utan det att BC har en förmåga att locka en till "dumheter". ;-)
Vill ju själv till Australien men nu är reskontot spärrat en tid framöver... Hur bra deals det än må dyka upp. ;-)

Ja vi får hoppas det! Ekonomiklass så långt känns inte alls lockande, särskilt inte när man hade ställt in sig på Virgins deal. Och jag måste till Sydney senare i år, nästan vare sig jag vill eller inte. Min sambos brorsas familj ska nämligen få tillökning
