Virgin rolls out business class product

Australian domestic travellers have a choice in business class for the first time in more than a decade following this week's launch of business class by Virgin Australia on most routes across the country.

Along with onboard product developed with the help chef Luke Mangan and designer Hans Hulsbosch, the offer includes complimentary access to Virgin Australia's lounges and priority security screening, check-in and boarding.

Virgin Australia group executive of commercial Liz Savage said: 'Last year we announced our commitment to bringing competition to business class travel in Australia and we have done just that, ahead of the return of business travellers in February.'

Virgin Australia's Velocity Frequent Flyer programme is offering members the opportunity to earn double Velocity Points and Status Credits on all business class domestic flights taken with Virgin Australia between January 26 and February 29.
