Cons: We had a row of drunk boys directly behind us. They drank non-stop, were extremely noisy and obnoxious - standing in the aisles, shaking seats, and yelling/singing non-stop. Worst flight I have been on this year as the crew did nothing to address this issue despite numerous complaints. P
Pros: Comfortable seats
Cons: Poor communication of crew memebers when dropping off bags, not consistent with charges of luggage, not helpful in alternative solutions, would allow some passengers with same size/weight of luggage through with no charge, versus charging ridiculous prices for others
Pros: The crew at check-in was super helpful.
Cons: The didn't even provide water - they charge $4 for a small bottle.
Cons: Entertainment
Pros: Small flight
Cons: Nothing to say because small aircraft
Pros: Crew were lovely.
Cons: Had a lot of hassle adding baggage to this leg of my trip on booking. At check in i was asked to pay $130 for baggage, which was no surprise. Luckily Air New Zealand ground staff sorted it out and I did not have to pay. I will book direct with the airlines next time.
Pros: Service etc etc absolutely fine
Cons: Handling at Melbourne Tullamarine was poor. The plane landed on time but was sent to the wrong dock and that caused a lot of time wastage. This seems to happen in Australian airports more than anywhere else.
Pros: Everything; crew, seats, food, The best flight ever. Thanks a lot.
Cons: N / A
Cons: The seat was not all that comfortable and being at the front of the section meant I couldn't stretch much. The breakfast was OK - nothing special
Pros: Nice seats in Business
Cons: 2 hour delay
Cons: We arrived 3_ hours early to check in for a 12-22 flight but had to stand in line much longer than necessary because passengers who arrived late for flights that were departing were checked in before we were. We understand that the airline is trying to check in passengers for departing flights so they can leave on time but they need a better system to avoid penalizing passengers who follow the rules. Our flight was delayed 90 minutes, causing us to potentially miss our connection in LA. We were not provided any information in flight or immediately upon getting off the flight to calm our worries about missing the connecting flight. So we stood in customs and immigration lines hoping to make it. Only after we collected our luggage, were we told that we had been rebooked on another flight from LA to DC (our final destination). We could have been given that information in flight or at least when we got off the plane to avoid being stressed in customs and immigration. The airline needs a much better way to handle delays for passengers who are going to miss connecting flights.
Cons: Seats were very tight
Pros: Entertainment, complimentary meal and beverages given the time
Cons: No Wi-Fi like other domestic flights
Pros: Quick easy painless and on time
Pros: For some reason there were no bags booked on our flight. We had to pay 260 at check in to get our bags on the plane. Rather disappointed. Found out the day before and because we had booked through an agent couldn't upgrade or anything. We use this website to save money and it would have been cheaper to buy straight from the airline.
Cons: Extra cost for backage. $260
Pros: same, crew is amazing
Pros: Good like always
Cons: All perfect
Pros: Crew was very caring and seat was very comfortable
Cons: I don’t find anything that could have been better that what was there for my travel
Pros: seats and entertainment
Cons: food. simple option
Cons: Aircraft was very old
Cons: Very good airlines
Pros: Service fantastic
Cons: Food was a bit ordinary but on a short flight understandable
Pros: The service during the flights
Cons: None..
Pros: Great Business Class Lounge close to departure gate.
Cons: Connecting from a domestic flight with Virgin Australia to the International Terminal carrying 5 large pieces of luggage was a bit stressful and complicated. Train or Bus ? Lots of Lifts up and down. Boarding security was excessive.
Pros: Almost everything.
Cons: Flying on 8 Jan is a time when there a lot of holiday makers heading home or perhaps just going on holiday. Lots of young children and a baby crying right behind me wasn't the most relaxing but I realise that nothing can be done about that.
Cons: We ask for wheelchair help from Perth to brooome but it was not provided .
Cons: without any possibility to call back. or to call again while being late, when arrived with plenty of time before departure. nobody was on the gate. when tryed to do all myself whithin minutes tsa didnt bother to speedup process and it took forever. i missed my flight literally in seconds.
Pros: Extra leg room, great service and good food.
Cons: The entertainment system feels dated (no touch screen) manual rewinding of movies, selection of movies
Cons: Food could have been better.
Pros: Crew was very helpful and courteous Entertainment system was pretty good Food was good. They could have given water bottles instead of asking for water.
Cons: Seat comfort in Economy was just ok. Since this was a long haul flight, seats could have been better.
Cons: I learned that JetStar was the cheapest option for a reason. Check-in at Narita was a nightmare. Without any luggage to check it was over 1.5 hour wait just to check in.
Cons: Baggage fees. Website. I tried for days to prebook bags. It kept coming g back with msg. Session expired. Go back. I did this several times finally gave up. Cost me $100 at airport. I had flown Virgin three days before and had baggage included. Wil fly them or Quantas next time.
Pros: Great flight...on time...
Cons: Late
Pros: 2 hours late
Cons: 2 hours late, constant 20 min delays until departure no real updates
Pros: Everything ! Staff was awesome , food was great and hi-tech plane with its entertainment consoles . Touch button options for ordering drinks , food , movies, chatting with other seat passangers , Wow! Blew my mind . We left on time and landed on time too. We had premium economy seats - felt like business class other than reclining level of the seats. Pretty good value!!
Cons: Nothing
Cons: Our family nearly missed the trip due to delayed from Melbourne
Cons: Auckland to Chicago was fine. Chicago to Minnesota was horrible. The departure plane showed up late due to weather which is understandable. Once the plane showed up we waited for over 4 hours for a pilots to show up. Our flight could have bee managed much better, poor job by United!
Pros: entertainment
Cons: economy has NO room, couldnt bend down to get anything out of my bag below the seat unless my face was in the lap of the person next to me
Pros: Crew did a very good job
Cons: Trip was the roughest I have ever been on for virtually the entire time. Could not sleep. Business class cabin was also had the most noise of any front of airplane experience I have had.
Pros: The crew at check-in was super helpful.
Cons: The didn't even provide water - they charge $4 for a small bottle.
Cons: We had to pay double to check our bags at airport because we did not pre check them online. Ridiculous
Cons: I learned that JetStar was the cheapest option for a reason. Check-in at Narita was a nightmare. Without any luggage to check it was over 1.5 hour wait just to check in.
Pros: New plane.
Cons: Really small plane. They placed my 6’8 husband in a regular row, when there were 2 bulk head and 1 exit row seat available. The “meal” = 3 half sandwiches - mayo & tuna (smelled through the cellophane wrapper) and a bottle of water. No entertainment. LOST MY LUGGAGE! Yuck. Avoid Jet Star.
Pros: The ticket price is enticing and it got me from point A to point B.
Cons: Baggage is very expensive. On a 9 hour flight we were given nothing to eat or drink (except water if you asked) unless you bought it. The entertainment also costed additional money. With a budget airline you obviously give up certain luxuries, just keep that in mind n
Pros: Outstanding crew -- attentive but not overbearing. Very pleasant for a 14-hour flight.
Pros: food and crew service
Cons: Business class Seats are uncomfortable, cushion is not that soft, sides are narrow and too tall, hard square arm rest on the right, drink tray is behind your shoulder, hard to fasten seat belt. Ride was very rough in both directions. Not worth the price paid.
Pros: The best ever business class check in and superior lounge and breakfast.
Pros: The beef dinner was exceptional, like dining out but in a small space .
Cons: Like all economy flights, it was a little cramped.
Pros: Comfortable seat.
Cons: Ran out of meal options, flight was delayed so one option breakfast not appropriate at midday. The flight attendant blamed the person in front of me for taking the last other option. I had to clarify with her that meant there was only one option left. She seemed annoyed at me for asking.
Cons: they charged $150 to check in a bag over 7 kg (15 lbs). the size of the bag was fine (20"), and if you fill such a bag with regular clothes, two pairs of shoes, and a toothbrush, you will easily hit 9-10 kg. so this airline expects you to travel with a 20" bag that is only partially filled, which is ridiculous.
Cons: We were delayed for 2 hours and 20 minutes flew into a storm, circulated in circles in the air for 30 mins, landed and had to wait for 3 HOURS inside the play due to lightning. If we left on time this would not have happened. Wort 12 hours of my life ever spent in an airport/plane. WILL NEVER FLY JETSTAR EVER AGAIN!!!
Cons: Even charge for water
Pros: The ticket price is enticing and it got me from point A to point B.
Cons: Baggage is very expensive. On a 9 hour flight we were given nothing to eat or drink (except water if you asked) unless you bought it. The entertainment also costed additional money. With a budget airline you obviously give up certain luxuries, just keep that in mind n
Pros: Crew were pleasant
Cons: Jetstar terminal has a lack of seating
Pros: Everything else.
Cons: The departure was 20 minutes late (not too much), which delayed the arrival in NZ by the same amount.
Pros: Everything; crew, seats, food, The best flight ever. Thanks a lot.
Cons: N / A
Pros: A whole season of New Girl!
Cons: Was very crammed.
Pros: None
Cons: When I booked this fly, no one tell me check in luggage has to be charged
Pros: The staff was very helpful
Cons: None
Cons: Could not add baggage online
Pros: As usual, punctual flight with friendly crew.
Pros: I like Virgin Australia -- luggage allowances are generous and it's nice to have a snack.
Cons: Flight was late, snack was not nearly as nice as on my previous trip (little crunchy snacks instead of cheese & crackers), they didn't want to serve hot drinks but offered no caffeinated substitute (in my opinion, if they are going to halt hot beverage service due to turbulence, they should offer free soft drinks instead, or at least free beer & wine since that would have been offered anyway if the flight had been on NSW time). Nothing major, just not as great as my previous experience with this airline.
Cons: Long queue in the toilet
Cons: Planes are old
Pros: :(
Cons: Don’t expect any assistance with the change of a passenger name - you will be asked to buy a new ticket without reimbursement for the mistake that is by any stretch of imagination only a duplicate bookings. What will happen is that either the travel company or the airline simply will blame you.
Pros: Crew was amazing
Pros: The crew was Amazing and The seats where comfortable.
Cons: Flying for the first time I think everything was excellent.
Pros: The entertainment because it had almost everything.
Cons: Flying for the first time.I think everything was excellent.
Cons: Vegan food was served with BUTTER how can this be vegan? NEED MORE Healthy options instead of Pan cakes etc made of Enriched Flour... Upgrades have become.alsmost nil. Emirates is making a huge profit but is not sharing with its passengers... had to wait one whole hour to get our baggage
Cons: Plane was old seats are not what you expect for the cost and being supposedly business class
Pros: Great crew. Friendly and responsive.
Cons: Nothing
Pros: Good service
Cons: Business class seating is not of international standard. Time to put upgraded accommodation in business class on this sector. I will not be flying this sector again with Qantas.
Pros: We eventually got to our destination safely although very stressed
Cons: The plane from Sydney to Brisbane was awful. The section where we were seated had a permanent cover over the windows, ours and others near us, over a large section. This was really claustrophobic. It was like being in a closed in tin can. It should be disclosed that the window seat is not a window seat so you have the option to change to somewhere else. The seats are really quite cramped. A huge delay
Pros: The on boarding process
Cons: The plan was in very poor clean conditions. The seats were discussing to sit.
Pros: one crew member appeared to authentically greet and farewell clients with a twinkle in his eyes.
Cons: many of the other crew members appeared to actively dislike their job and to treat passengers disrespectfully,
Pros: The seats are big
Cons: You have to pay for food and drinks- nothing for free Boarding was chaos- no organization- just everyone pushing their way on. Worried about security as no one at any point checked my ID or passport Line up for baggage drop off took half an hour- they need more staff working
Pros: unexpectedly about an hour into the flight an announcement came over the loudspeaker. It was something like this : Attention Attention please pull on your oxygen mask when it drops and place it firmly over your mouth and breathe calmly. I was shocked and everyone that I could see looked shocked. Then nothing. It was the announcement that you never want to hear when on an aeroplane. About 5-10 minutes later another announcement that it was an error and a wrong button had been pushed. It certainly was the wrong button to push.
Cons: We had to pay double to check our bags at airport because we did not pre check them online. Ridiculous
Pros: Price..on time and a smooth flight.
Cons: without any possibility to call back. or to call again while being late, when arrived with plenty of time before departure. nobody was on the gate. when tryed to do all myself whithin minutes tsa didnt bother to speedup process and it took forever. i missed my flight literally in seconds.
Cons: We ask for wheelchair help from Perth to brooome but it was not provided .
Pros: Nothing.
Cons: Everything. Singapore Airlines had a great reputation. Imagine my disappointment. It was a horrible flight. The crew was nice enough, but inattentive. The food, if such a term may be applied here, was inedible. Just vile. In flight entertainment was a complete joke. Boarding was awful, but it always is. Seats were extremely uncomfortable. This racket is the ultimate way to rip somebody off of $1000. Horrible.
Cons: 2.5 hour delay
Pros: Service was great on both sectors
Cons: Premium economy seat is still not comfortable enough in comparison with economy.
Pros: Staff were always happy and friendly
Cons:
Cons: The plane was delayed for more than one hour which we did not have sufficient time for transfer to LA. We have to run instead of walking.
Pros: Quick and easy
Pros: Everything else.
Cons: The departure was 20 minutes late (not too much), which delayed the arrival in NZ by the same amount.
Pros: Everyone was very nice, food was good, movie choice was great
Cons: Would have liked a more comfortable seat. Couldn’t sleep well
Pros: The ride on the plane was all good
Cons: I didn’t like that when I purchased the tickets it gave me no option to add bags to my ticket. My itinerary that was emailed to me didn’t even say anything about paying for the bags before I got there. I got a huge shock when I was first in line and I was told I would have to pay 370 dollars for both my bags. I was livid and quite frankly don’t want to fly or book with virgin ever again. That couldn’t even help me out with anything so overall I’m upset and will never fly with you Virgin. I will also let it be known about this. I’m just a young traveler traveling for education and I get stuck with this bill to where I shouldn’t even go because I spent so much money just for my bags :(
Pros: Fast boarding and disembarkation. Good lounge in melbourne.
Cons: Slightly condescending cabin crew member.
Pros: The flight attendants Movie selections Food All Great!!!!!
Cons: One and a half hour delay
Pros: Efficient staff, plane was half empty so could lay across the seats & sleep.
Pros: Great, love the ATRs
