Polynesian Blue & Virgin

Virgin Blue was originally launched by the UK entrepreneur, Richard Branson, but his internationally acclaimed Virgin Group now only hold a minority share in this dynamic airline. Virgin Blue has expanded from its original high frequency route between Sydney and Brisbane with today its network covering all major Australian cities and holiday destinations as well as regular flights to New Zealand and Pacific Islands.

The Virgin Blue Group currently operates an ultra modern fleet of  60 plus Boeing 737 jet aircraft and Embraer 170’s and 190 turbo props with and further 17 scheduled to join the fleet very shortly.

Polynesian Blue - Samoan Virgin

Virgin Blue comes in three shade: Virgin Blue - the original low cost Australian carrier offering great value services throughout Australia; Pacific Blue which extends the concept across to New Zealand and the Pacific Islands; and Polynesian Blue which is a joint venture between the airline and the Government of Samoa feeding passengers from Sydney and Auckland into the capital Apia. This is a fun airline with Virgin’s typical obsession with great passenger service. If you like stuffy, formal greetings and cabin staff whose smiles are engineered during training then Virgin Blue should be avoided - if, like us, you prefer to travel with cabin crew who enjoy a joke with you (not at you) then climb aboard Virgin Blue - any of the three and enjoy your flight.
