To celebrate the launch of V Australia, Sir Richard is going a tad faster travelling the round route of London to Hong Kong then Sydney and Los Angeles and returning to London in eight days.

V Australia, which launched on February 27, will initially fly between Sydney and Los Angeles, with services also planned between Brisbane and Los Angeles, and between Melbourne and Los Angeles.

Its launch means that passengers can book to travel on individual Virgin airlines on an around-the-world routing.

Said Sir Richard, "Travelling around the world in eight days is going to be a tough quest, but we'll certainly be doing it faster than Phileas Fogg did in his balloon.

"The launch of V Australia joins up Sydney and LA, destinations currently served by Virgin Atlantic from London and it means consumers can travel on Virgin globally for the first time. It's a unique moment in Virgin's history."
