Ah, V Australia – the now-defunct long-haul airline that tried to carve a niche down under before merging into Virgin Australia. It was Virgin’s ambitious bid to fly between Australia and the US, sporting a fleet of Boeing 777s with a slick feel and a cheeky in-flight experience. Sadly, V Australia ceased operations in 2011, absorbed into the Virgin Australia brand to streamline things and reduce the confusion for punters. If you're after flights, Virgin Australia still flies plenty domestically and regionally, but the direct US long-haul dreams of V Australia are a thing of the past. For current flight options, have a squiz at travel sites or the airline's own booking engine.
