Virgin Australia is no longer DJ, they are VA.

Can't comment about that exactly, but after a year or so, NZ staff can finally fly VA domestic in AU, pity they charge $160aud return for SYD- MEL or SYD-BNE. Cheaper to go full fare without the hassle of being bottom of the standby list. Wonder what VA staff pay, they probably fly to NZ on ANZ metal cheaper than ANZ staff!

NZD 160 sounds about right, equals about AUD 45.

Had a look at the Myid info last week expecting to see something that resembled an airline staff travel scheme. Instead what i saw was a ZED fare lite model. There was only a few airlines listed. Apart from our codeshare partners there was Lufthansa and Cathay and that was about it.

Although it is a minor improvement on what we had previously iy is still Pretty piss poor so far. Hopefully this is just phase 1 and in the long run it will improve.

I guess the Exco don't staff travel too often so it is probably fairly low on yhe list of priorities.

SYD-BNE and SYD-MEL (one way) was about $A26 for group one fares last time I looked.
