Virgin Flight DJ 623

Time

This time we took off on time, but because of the rain in Sydney, we were delayed for 10 minutes on return, which was nothing, considering the Qantas flight to Melbourne was delayed 2 hours, and the long wait for a taxi afterwards and the traffic…

Rating - 4

Comfort

We were forced to stand on the tarmac for ages, it was freezing cold because people were very slow getting on the plane. This time the plane was full and I was sitting next in the middle next to my colleague and this tall man who drank lots of alcohol during the flight, so it wasn’t exactly comfortable. One of the reading lights didn’t work either so that didn’t help.

Service

It must be mid-day fatigue, because the crew was pretty boring. They had their work cut out for them handling the request from alcoholic next door, and they handled it well, so well done to them.

Allowance/Gifts

Yup, they had live to air TV again, but there was a problem so every couple of minutes the screen would blank out. Alcoholic actually bought the service for $6 (he should’ve checked that it actually worked first!), and then was complaining about it.

Value

This was bought on a Fully Flexible Fare, for $349. Again, not paid for by me.
