Things Virgin Australia Does & Doesn’t Do Well

[aventhusiast31]

I am growing tired of these QQ Fokker 100's that serve sporadically on some VA east coast routes I take often. Both legs I knowingly booked these services due to timings, but these aircraft are really showing their age and lack of amenity on board!

They won't be around too much longer.
The second Embraer E190-E2 just arrived and is already in service, with more on the way

This simple matter was trumpeted 2½ years back as a 2 year project to complete. What a roll-out mess.

I refuse to book a Business class seat now as pax streaming to the loo on many flights is a huge devaluation to what was once a reasonably private section.

Has that cost them money - I bet it has.

Temu shower curtains, when they FINALLY figure out how to add them, after years of planning them, will not enhance the experience either. Race to the bottom.

totally agree with codeshare pricing when it comes to SQ, most of the time i look its more expensive than booking directly with SQ

And Air Canada. Won't be spending $100s more just to chase SCs.

If there was a choice of SQ gold and VA gold as a choice, most would take SQ gold. Outside Australia VA elite recognition is limited to a few airlines, and most of the time have to fight for it.
