Virgin Australia is expanding its codeshare agreement with Hong Kong Airlines. The new terms of the codeshare will see 26 routes operated by Virgin Australia on Hong Kong Airlines behalf. These routes will cover domestic services within Australia and Trans-Tasman routes. The existing service between Sydney Airport (HYD) and Hong Kong International Airport (HKG) will now operate under an HX-code as well.
The new agreement will streamline the flight experience for people flying between Australia and China.
Due to the expansion of the partnership between the airlines, from the beginning of July 2018, some Hong Kong Airlines and Hainan Airlines frequent flyers will gain access to airport lounges. Virgin Australia's Velocity Gold and Platinum frequent flyers will be able to enjoy lounge access on some of these airlines routes, however, many flights, in particular, those between Australia and Greater China, Velocity Gold and Platinum members will remain unable to take advantage of this perk.
On the other hand, benefits like priority check-in, priority boarding, and extra checked baggage are more widely available and will be offered on Beijing Capital Airlines and Tianjin Airlines too, as Virgin Australia also expands its codeshare network to cover more destinations in Greater China. Virgin Australia will strengthen their partnership by codesharing on Hainan Airlines' flights from Sydney to Xi'an, Changsha and Haikou; from Melbourne to Xi'an and Changsha; from Brisbane to Shenzhen and from Cairns to Shenzhen, which travellers will be able to book on a VA flight number. This will allow frequent flyers to collect more and more points.
On all Hong Kong Airlines flights, excepting those between Hong Kong and North America, benefits for Velocity Silver members will include priority check-in and an additional checked bag of 32kg in business class or 23kg in economy class. Velocity Gold and Platinum cardholders will receive priority boarding as well as those perks, plus access to Hong Kong Airlines' lounges in Hong Kong, such as the airline's modern Club Autus Lounge.
