V-Flyer

Morning

I was wondering if anyone has had any experience of flying with them to HK in Y or business? Their prices are very tempting but it would be useful if anyone can shed any light on what they are like to fly with.

Thanks

I seem to remember that there was talk on here about the poor start they had when the launch flight was cancelled or delayed, but I haven't seen anything recently.

There are a couple of TRs on Flyertalk here,and here that may help you decide.

If you do use them, we will look forward to your TR.

Thanks Nick - very helpful.

Not sure when you are looking to book but my Parents are flying Business Class with them next month and I will get their thoughts/opinions when they are back, I think they paid abt £750 each for their tickets.

Neil

Cheers - I'd be interested on what your folks thought

If you are looking to fly Y to HKG, have a look a ANZ. They often have some fantastic offers for their LHR>HKG route. ANZ offer 34" seat pitch in Y as well and are a FC partner [y]

Regards

good idea - thanks

Not sure if this will be any use to you (or any other v-flyers for that matter), but Oasis are offering 3,000 free London - Hong Kong sectors if you buy a round trip. You must book the offer on 20/21 August and the free sector is only valid on O8 715 (departs LGW at 21:20, arrives HKG at 16:50 next day on Wed/Fri/Sun). Valid for travel between 16 December 2007 and 24 October 2008.

Full details as well as all the terms and conditions are here.

I suppose that based on the fact the offer is for 3 months with 3 flights per week, that works out around 20 seats per flight....depending on how they work out the offer I suppose......means you have to be quick if you have specific dates in mind

thanks - shame it's not for business class too!

I walked by the Oasis gate at HKG at the start of the week and the whole flight crew were Brits looked like retired ex-BA, the aircraft looked clean and in good nick think it was a 747-400.

A friend of mine wrote another trip report about flying with Oasis a couple of months back. Thumbs up reported there, and qualified thumbs up for the business class product in one of the comments.

(Edited: one of these days I promise I will pay attention to those little words "HTML is OFF, Forum Code is ON...")

Indeed, all Oasis a/c are 747-400s.
