Ok, so im gonna be visiting home to Detroit this summer and I just booked a flight with Virgin Australia in Premium Economy because it is currently the same price as economy (Qantas currently has premium economy for the same price as economy as well)
So here is why I chose Virgin.
1.) Im a Velocity member
2.) The price for Virgin and Qantas were the same
2.) its more direct. Qantas would have had me do this:
MEL - SYD (where I get on the 747 to Dallas)- DFW (where I then would get one of those tiny American Connection planes for another 3 hour flight) - DTW
with virgin its MEL-LAX on the 777 and LAX to DTW on a 767. easy stuff.
So here is my question: What is the deal with the Virgin Premium Economy thing??? Ive been reading TONS of negative reviews for Virgin's premium economy. I don't feel any regrets about booking it because like I said, its the same price as economy, and i called qantas and all their Isle seats (except for the last row) were taken, PLUS I hear the premium economy product on the Qantas 747 is nothing like their A380
So I guess tell me bout this stuff? What does Qantas do thats so much better than Virgin, and what makes the Virgin product so bad? I was really excited to snag this deal until i started reading reviews about Virgin... but none of them ever say WHY. They just cough about it
