Food is all very well if you can even get a business seat!!!!!
I Reside in Perth 9 months and go to Darwin 3 months for the winter every year. Platinum member. Just trying to find a Virgin direct business seat and its an A320 with no business and economy X is only the standard escape seats with row 12 no good as it doesn't recline at all.

Food doesn't matter. I Don't want to play sardines in economy, for 3.5hrs, especially due to covid or have to fly via Adelaide at great expense and time. Its bad enough there is no lounge in Darwin but is this what they were plotting all along for not having the lounge?
Qantas seems no better. Its Qantaslink and looking like the same. with no business. So can't use the masses of points for upgrades either.

It seems to have turned the clock back to the dark ages 30 years ago to when travelling to Darwin was primative. Also how am I going to get the SC's to maintain platinum like I used to? with Q I acquired Gold but can see keeping that up either.

The Virgin A320 has good legroom in all seats, whereas the Qantas Link A320 is a mixed bag of legroom
