Find Cheap Flights from Auckland Intl to Melbourne & other airports (AKL - MEL)

Everything

Nothing not to like

Seats very cramped with 6 children sharing seats invarea

The on boarding process

The plan was in very poor clean conditions. The seats were discussing to sit.

Good pillows.

They let us know by email little before departure that there would be a delay of 1h 15 min in our arrival to London. This made me uneasy from the very beginning that I would lose my London-Luxembourg flight. The crew in the boarding gate, only after much insisting, said they would make a note so that someone from Qantas would wait for me and help me get my London-Luxembourg flight no problem, but in the next stopovers (Melbourne, Dubai), there was no sign of this. Also, the delay in the end was 2h 20 min - and I lost my flight to Luxembourg.

Long delays, unfriendly staff, really uncomfortable seats that barely recline, no food or drinks other than water and no entertainment.

Ease of boarding n checking in.

Took awhile before we found out the gate. Not ur fault but too many crying babies on flt

The price, the timing of the flights

Cheap thin seats squashed together means you can feel every time the person behind you moves. There were people yelling at each other because they were getting so annoyed by it.

2 hours late

2 hours late, constant 20 min delays until departure no real updates

Quick and comfortable. Arrived 30 mins ahead of schedule

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.

The crew at check-in was super helpful.

The didn't even provide water - they charge $4 for a small bottle.

on time in time clean air craft great crew, on top of all was the experience of the Pilot, the take off and landing was so smooth

Meal was excellent

Would have liked a blanket, it was a bit cold.

Not much

My flight was moved up three hours and we were not notified. Two others we were traveling with were. Some people received meals and drinks and the flight attendants had a list of which seats. Apparently we weren't entitled to any. We were not treated the same as the others next to us. It was not an option. Perhaps only Australians were entitled.

Crew were lovely.

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.

The option to gate check strollers for easy access with a toddler

The stroller wasn't delivered to the gate by Air New Zealand

Check I'm rudeness...... absolutely despised employee

on time in time clean air craft great crew, on top of all was the experience of the Pilot, the take off and landing was so smooth

Crews are always nice on Virgin, had priority seating which was really nice given my status is with a partner airline

Flight was late leaving and then over an hour late into destination so was late for work and an important meeting missed. The flight was full of very smelly passengers. I understand this is not something the airline can manage but here should be standards for boarding passengers. It is difficult situation I realise, but I was across the isle from a person with incredibly poor personal hygiene and the smell was almost unbearable.

Leg room was great as we had exit row

Body odour of one of the male cabin crew

Seats, entertainment, meals.

Late out of the gate. Missed connecting flight.

Politeness of staff Check in

Using the back stairs Inflight wifi Costs

Breakfast portions were too small, and choices were not great. Boarding procedures were a little chaotic due to small space, and ground staff was not very polite when ordering passengers to board.

Everything else was good besides the below content.

The customer service. After the meals came I pressed my button for assistance and was not attended to at all, there was over an hr before our flight was due to land. I didn't want to move from my seat as the person beside looked busy at work and I didn't know where I would go because I couldn't see any flight attendants anywhere.

everything was perfect i really enjoy my flight with Emirates i recommend everyone to fly with Emirates best experience ever

My children enjoyed their first flight they were very well spoilt on the flight also the care they took with my mum.

Quick and comfortable. Arrived 30 mins ahead of schedule

got to melbourne on time

extra fees for everything and a hassle with carry-on. $150.00 for 2 checked bags.

Seat in the front

First and early used Auto kiosks check in Auckland Domestic Airport, the Jetstar computer get me a last seats on the flight!?

Nothing

Check I'm rudeness...... absolutely despised employee

The staff were nice but you made me pay almost as much as my ticket cost to change 3 letters on my name

Paying so much for a name change

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.

Extra cost for backage. $260

The ride on the plane was all good

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 :(

The best ever business class check in and superior lounge and breakfast.

We were late arriving, the cabin crew although they were pleasant, didn’t do enough to allow the passengers to get off first, for the connecting flight. Malaysian airlines stayed in the runway, fixing an engine and the pilot said they were delaying the plane, driving in for passengers to disembark. After being told by cabin crew that a number of us were late for connecting flight, that they were going to wait for us, they didn’t and we were told we had missed the flight. We were kindly put on the next flight which wasn’t until five hours later. Unrealistic scheduling causes is to miss our flight and had us sitting at the airport for four hours, making it an unnecessarily long day. Not impressed.

It was operated by air New Zealand so the service was top notch once I was able to resolve all other issues boarding.

We had a flight bought on virgin Australia and operated with air New Zealand. The air New Zealand part was all great plane boarding etc, the horrible part is that we bought baggage allowances with virgin and they never transferred the information to air New Zealand. So there I am from the USA in a foreign country boarding a flight being asked to pay 500 nz dollars for a few kilos when I had already paid for it. Having to produce emails and payment information on something I had done months in advance. Overall I won’t recommend virgin next time I’d book directly with air New Zealand

Very Innovative. Love the Premium Economy seats. And unlike many other airlines that do Premium Economy the food is not just economy food. It is far better and as good as anything you get in Business.

Good Food and ok services

2 hrs delay. Entertainment system froze and no sound from time to time. Dirty seats.

Nothing not to like

The personal entertainment option worked fantastically. Food was also very good for such a short flight.

Emirates was the referrer only. The flight was a Qantas flight hence same as any other Qantas flight. The fish dinner choice was over cooked.

I like the luggage allowance-- more realistic than other airlines. The attendants were attentive but perhaps a little overdone on the fake smiles except for the main attendant who had the stressed/more straight-faced look for some strange reason. i probably should have been more tuned into the mechanical visual entertainment on board instead. Got to watch two movies which was great!

Everything was great

There was nothing to complain about.

I liked everything! Excellent service. Great food, entertainment, and flight. Nothing went wrong. Thank you!

The crew was very courteous and helpful.

No food on a four hour flight except for sale. The movies were also only available at a price.

No in flight entertainment
