Virgin business class Bali flights rip-off

[Harthagan]

I reckon if I was saving $1000 flying VA versus QF 737 to Bali, I'd be delighted with the overall experience including the $50 I spent on getting sloshed in a paid lounge.

Each to their own. Not sure where you plucked $50 for international lounge access equivalent to Qantas First Lounge which you get as a platinum member with Qantas, even when flying Jetstar in Y.

Last time I checked Virgin still charge $65 for their domestic lounges for a "casual pass".

I didn't.

I've said it before, I'll say it again. as a plat you're much better off in economy x than business unless you can get a reward seat.

I should probably search the forum if you've said it before - why?

For context, I'm short, and prefer the guaranteed horizontal space between me and the next passenger to the vertical space that my legs can't reach anyway.

What is the legroom difference between Economy X and Business? I suppose we'd need to differentiate between:

Row 1: Business bulkhead
Row 2: Business
Row 3: Economy X bulkhead
Rows 4+5: Economy X.

Yeah actually: what is the difference between row 3 and 4 and 5?

Don't know, never sat in row 4 or 5.
Row 3 way to go baby.

Looks like nobody seems to have sat behind row 3!!

I actually prefer row 4, there is plenty of leg room and you don't have the fixed arm rests with the tray tables in them (row 3). And you have row 5 leg room behind you so no bumping from behind, unlike being in row 5.
