The launch of the new fares coincide with Sir Richard Branson’s round the world in 8 days tour, celebrating the 25th birthday of Virgin Atlantic and the launch of V Australia on Friday, 27 February 2009. Speaking in Sydney, Sir Richard Branson, President of Virgin Atlantic, said,
"Passengers now have a fantastic choice to make – which way to go around the world with Virgin! The combination of Virgin Atlantic and V Australia offers travellers huge flexibility in their global planning and some of the best value round the world fares available.
