3. (This one refutes point 2) Will be using Delta Airlines gates at LAX as the airport authorities want 20K US to turn around a 777, and Delta will do it for 3K US.
As to who will be flying it is anyones guess. If they are going to pay the J* international pay rate, then the expats who want to come back can have it
Would it be a better experience for pax if
VB used UA gates at LAX? I was under the impression that UA have their own facilities for international arrivals seperate to what the rest have to use. This facility means shorter queues for those trying to clear customs.
Can anyone confirm that for me.
