How times flies and to prove the point, Virgin Australia reminds us that it launched its inaugural flight between Sydney and Los Angeles in 2009.
Since arriving at LAX airport for the very first time, Virgin Australia has now flown 4.1 million passengers to and from Los Angeles from Australian cities on almost 14,500 flights.
To celebrate an entire decade since Virgin Australia first said G’day to the USA, the airline is giving Aussies the chance to win flights and two nights’ accommodation for you and three mates to live the life in LA.
The airline just wants you to also flashback and show how far you have come in ten years in the fashion stakes.
