V Australia has reported that the schedule has been specifically designed to offer the only daily evening departure from Sydney to Los Angeles.

"The launch of V Australia means the Virgin Group for the first time will offer a global network of airlines that allow travelers to fly worldwide on Virgin airlines' that all share the same vision and commitment to safety, service, fun and flair."
