It was with Link Airways and the Saab 340 jet was noisy and little comfort.
Checked Baggage line up was long but moved quickly, rest of the process, boarding, crew was excellent
Late boarding, late departure due to weather and slow boarding, packed 5+hour flight, only 2 toilets for main cabin, tight leg room, no free food except tea, coffee, and water, arrived 75 minutes late.
Boarding was smooth after a 25 min delay. Notification of delay could be more efficient and change in boarding gate was not notified on the flights board or app.
I did not use the in flight entertainment, but the selection appeared to be decent. Take off was delayed, but otherwise the process was uneventful.
The level of incompetence of this airline is truly astounding.
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.
When the flight is full out would be good to allow the use of the front toilet as well as the rear. Otherwise it was an uneventful flight.
It was pretty good. Everyone friendly. Like all airlines, the draconian limitations on baggage and weight and not giving even a free soda kind of drags down the experience a bit.
I missed my flight and when trying to book another flight home the virgin staff were not very friendly and accommodating and it cost an arm and a leg. Also the reason for missed flight was a health hazard which for everyone on the flight I chose not to inconvenience everyone aboard and was told I could look into getting so of the cost refunded for the new flights but was told by virgin customer service I should of boarded the flight and caused everyone an unpleasant flight.
I missed my flight due to unforeseen circumstances It was, however , an excellent price !
Qantas is always subpar beyond comfy chairs for a domestic flight
Flight was 2.5 hours late leaving. We spent 50 minutes of that sitting on the plane with no explanation. They did reduce the time in the air so we arrived a little less late which was something. The cheese and crackers were okay but the wine was terrible.
Airline running better than post Covid, proper boarding process now implemented, some aircraft feeling a bit old and tired, crew fine, online experience better.
The old Plane had not been cleaned properly in a long time.
The plane was delayed about 3 hours so anything else is immaterial
For a long haul, the flight was good. We left an hour late due to a seat in business class not working. But they made up time and we still got in on time or even early thanks to tailwinds. The crew was friendly. The meals were okay, nothing special.
The seats are too close together and are smaller than they used to be. Makes for a cramped experience.
I really appreciated the fact that when I checked my bags at the Quantas counter after arriving from an international flight an hour early, the agent noticed I had a very long layover. He then found an earlier flight that allowed me to get to Cairns several hours earlier than I planned. That was amazing because I had already traveled over 20 hours and wasn’t looking forward to such a long layover. It allowed me to see my daughter and grandchildren much earlier (it had been two years since I visited last).
First flight on Quantas. High marks all around. Plus it appears as if the have a comparatively new flight. Excellent airline!
Jet star delayed both trips with poor communication. Passengers were made to change gates often and then left to stand with no seating. As someone getting over surgery this was very trying.
stuck in the aircraft for over three hours due to engineering work, significantly delayed and made a lot of passengers missed the connecting transport, no mention any compensation
Very quiet plane!! One of the quietest planes we have been on.
Comfortable seats, boarding was easy and staff were very nice.
The crew were great. The seat was older than an old Holden with a big metal bar sticking right into my back. The passenger next to me complained that hers was the same. The pre purchase system for food was disappointing as the pie/quiche took 20 mins to warm up, arrived too hot and with no utensils. It was one of the most uncomfortable flights I've ever been on.
I got what I paid for - flight was clean, staff were friendly
The flight was over an hour late due to staff shortages and due to it being the last evening flight, I got back to Sydney very late
This was the most horrific experience we have ever had. I would advise people to steer clear of this airline at all costs.
The plane was new. There are two rows of business 2 x 2, but the seat pitch is the same as the rest of the plane (3 x 3). Carry ons must be weighed and tagged before boarding. Do this at home to avoid nasty surprises.
Every single one of my flight were delayed. On top of that when I asked for water I didn’t get it the first time. I had to ask for it multiple of time.
