I wonder what 'mid-market' airline actually means? Usually airlines are full-service or low-cost, is this just another way of saying full serivce? Surely that's a no-change?

Interesting. We have used VA quite a few times, when we have been 'Down Under', but I have to say we have generally found JetStar to be more convenient in routes, timings and price.
Will watch with interest, as we are hoping for another big trip at the back end of next year assuming, of course, that the virus is history, and the Ashes will actually be played for in front of crowds.
