Australia - returning??

Good news - it seems a code share with Virgin Australia and VS is in the process of being approved and could commence in late 2018 with code share flights and booking through from London to Melbourne and either Sydney or Brisbane via Hong Kong

That would be very welcome news.

Trying to do VS via HKG or LAX and onto VA right now is a total PITA. I don't know why, but TA's just don't like booking it and if you use online flight searching tools, they rarely ever come up as options.

To earn TP's and Miles, going on Singapore Airlines is about the only real choice. (Which isn't the end of the world).
