Yeah me too... Everyone must be going broke, because most days I see it next to an SQ380, an VA340, BA777 and sometimes TWO UA744's..!
On a more serious note... I was a bit surprised at their targeted market in Fiji (not that I know too much about it), but it always struck me as a more leisure route (to coyne the now common Qantas Group phrase).
I would have expected Narita or the like to be the first medium haul port to be honest - especially after Bransen's impromptue announcement that V would be flying to Japan!
Will be good to get the airframe utilisation up though, so maybe thats why - Japan too far to fit into the time that the aircraft is on the ground between the VA2 and VA1 and NZ too saturated...
