Very friendly staff. No food service and no entertainment. Only 1hr 20min flight
High fees for excess checked baggage and somehow ridiculous rules for carry on bags.
I bought flights in August and there wasn’t a flight in the system
I'll never transit from international through Sydney with Virgin until they improve the domestic transfer system. It's ridiculous that you have to take oversize baggage to the transfer desk to get it activated then struggle onto the shuttle bus (carrying a 25kg, 2m long ski bag and carry-on - along with about 6 others in the same situation) then negotiate the terminal and queue to put it onto the oversize receival bag drop.
Virgin Australia passed this flight onto Alliance, so my rating and comments are based on my experience with crew, aircraft and available options. Alliance only offers drinks which consisted of tea, coffee and water, free of charge. There was no on board entertainment. The aircraft seating although narrow accommodated my 6 foot 2 body with little discomfort.
The flight between Canberra and Coolongatta passed very quickly and was comfortable. The crew were very efficient and helpful. The boarding process is a bit slow and not done by rows. Overall, Virgin does a fairly good job.
This time is good . Don’t cancel flight with out early notice .
X class seats in row 3 with the new configuration are very poor in fact I feel 3B and 3E should no longer be considered as X class seat as there is no forward seat pocket available to these seats and greatly reduced leg room due the intrusion of the business class armrests/table module
Have to pay for food and drinks. Inflight entertainment wasn't working.
Check in staff were unhelpful with information on delayed flight and impact on boarding, luggage weight restrictions. One suitcase was 24.4 kg, the attendant was rude and unhelpful with assisting. Travelling with a family of 5 and young kids makes it more stressful having delays/issues with connecting flights/luggage. Will be travelling qantas.
Great. Seats are a little cramped with only a very small recline. Service was great. Food was fine.
The flights got us to our destination. The seats on the planes were uncomfortable.
The flight ticket were not reimbursed on Jan 22nd from Auckland to Wellington. Very Very dissatisfied.Please reimburse the ticket of my onward travel.
Flight on time. New plane. No entertainment screen just device. No offer of water. Didn’t order food.
I was treated poorly in Dunedin by check in crew, then my bag was lost in Auckland. Never again.
It was better than I expected. Thought $5 for a small cup of tea was a bit much!
They added the weight of my back to the carryon luggage and charged me NZ$75 for being over 7 kg.
The flight take-off was delayed which was fine but the staff seemed pretty over their jobs. The seats are very uncomfortable and the food was pretty average. Overall is was okay.
Captains address to passengers was excellent. Knee room in seating was very uncomfortable.
We were seated right at the back of the plane along with young parents and small children. Very noisy and seats super uncomfortable.
