Virgin are losing the plot.

VA Flight from CBR to ADL is only one direct flight a day at an inconvenient time . I usually fly vie Mel. Yesterday I booked a QF flight for 60% of the VA fare. VA planes appear to be almost empty at this time for an early Dec flight. In the past being a Gold VA I would not even bother looking at QF however with the stupid pricing and harder to retain Gold I am no longer a rusted on VA customer.

While I tend to agree, I had a look at random dates over the next few weeks and VA is consistently about 30% cheaper than the comparable QF flight.

So yes, VA has one flight a day at 8pm and the 7am QF fare is often heaps cheaper. But the comparable 7:05pm QF fare is always much more expensive. So I don’t think you’re comparing like for like.
