Virgin Blue was just named best low-cost airline in Australia/Pacific region. Having just traveled on V Australia I can easily see why they were rated so highly.

Virgin Blue has been named best low-cost airline in the Australia/Pacific region at the Skytrax world airline awards.

It was the fourth time the airline has claimed the title, beating out Qantas offshoot Jetstar and Tiger, who came in second and third, respectively.

Malaysian-based AirAsia took out the award as the world’s best low-cost airline for the second straight year.
