For a red eye flight it is pretty uncomfortable. They provide nothing in the way of pillows, etc.

2 hrs + delay! Times kept changing, Onboard menu was half depleted, Entertainment wifi was N/A Overall very frustrating flight and I never slate Virgin.
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.
When I made the booking I was not aware I had to book our checked baggage separately. As we had no checked luggage booking, I had to pay A$120 per bag (total 2 bags) so you can imagine I was not pleased. I am an experienced traveller so something needs to be done to improve the booking app,
Toasties not available (only GF option). Hot drinks not able to be served No usb charging port
Flight departed in time and arrived on time, no issues at all.
Boarding took place at the front and back. Weight of luggage was unclear and cost an arm and a leg.
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.
The seats are so uncomfortable. The food doesn't exist unless you pay. Disappointed
Plane a little late departing, but not an issue. The pilots humour when he said “I will try to make up some time…. I know a few short cuts to Adelaide” made the passengers chuckle. This is what makes Qantas “Australian”.
I have never had a problem with flying Qantas, so this flight was the same as any other.
After British Airways cancelled my London to Sydney and Virgin Australia refused to refund, there was no ways I would try Virgin Australia again, so it was Qantas - what a good flight experience. So much easier to get off an international flight and get a local flight without having to add extra amounts for baggage
The flight was delayed by 1.5 hours and most of the flights bags were not on the flight. Have also had no communication from QANTAS
I was thrilled with the bottle of water, blanket, pillow, earphones, and little packet of toothbrush, toothpaste, earplugs. I was very satisfied with the meals and snacks and drinks. I alao was very grateful to have a seat that backs up against the lavatory, as it made it very easy to get to the bathroom without being jumped in line, as so often happens in the airplane. Of course that was just a random strike of luck, but it really made a difference.
Food was great. Customer Service not so much! Flight Delays.
The plane was delayed about 3 hours so anything else is immaterial
It was so hot on the plane mixed with being quite turbulent and a rough landing. We all felt very nauseous for hours afterwards. Crew were lovely though.
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.
Internet on internation flights is a basic comodity. Very disappointed. Same entertainment that has been on for the past year. Update your content for frequent flyers
Everything got delayed we were supposed to land at 1pm and landes at 8-9 pm … was horrible
Your food is AWEFUL! For Premium Economy this was the WORST FOOD EVER - salad and tomatoes were all spoiled, "chicken" was awful and burnt. This is the WORST FOOD of ANY AIRLINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! horrible
Terrible Initial delay for almost an hour before boarding and departing in Seattle. Then a “customary” wait on the tarmac in Newark after landing for half an hour. I call it customary because it happens almost every time I land in Newark. I do t know if it’s Newark or United airline but it’s a travesty . I use Newark because it’s closer than jfk to where I live but am strongly considering switching because of extremely poor in time performance and Condé and delay after landing
The boarding process was delayed and the miscommunication of what seats are broken
It got us to our destinations pretty well but the flight from Dulles to Newark was the size of a school bus or less and the flight to Israel was better but premium seats are way tooo expensive and necessary. The seat cushions in economy plus are virtually nonexistent. The service was minimal. There was a noticeable absence of beverage service, including nonalcoholic beverages. The flight to Israel was my mos on time flight to Israel ever. The pilot talked too much, though, especially yelling instructions at everyone.
Great, my mom's flight was cancelled last min and the next day was my wedding day. The customer service and the desk at the airport did everything possible to get my mom on the soonest flight and she could make it to my wedding. Thank you
It was soooo hot I was sweating even at altitude. I know you want people to sleep, but keeping it that hot is stupid!
flight delayed, was put on another flight after standby queue, luggage was misplaced and arrived to me 3 days later
How would you rate my experience when I was stuck in YOW without being offered a cup of water by the airline?
Was 4 1/2 hours delayed. No food options, poor entertainment and cramped seats made worse by people in front reclining while we could not as in back row.
I didn't actually get to take this flight. It was canceled and the automated system rerouted my party of four (including a minor and a person in a wheelchair) to three different airports. Since we had a three hour drive from Newark this was clearly unacceptable. For all of us to end up in Newark would have required waiting at least one day, probably longer.
Terrible. Flight in the morning was circling in air for 45 min due to weather then rerouted to a location further than the final destination to refuel. Sat on tarmac for almost 2 hrs to refuel. Flight was originally to land at 9:30am, we arrived at 2pm and then waited another 30 “for an agent”. Then afternoon return flight was delayed again 3 times for weather then cancelled. Auto rebooked was for the next evening! Just miserable.
El, the trans actions indicated that the purchase and flight was by Air Canada. I over when I get to the airport. Air Canada says no that’s a United airline ticket. I was redirected to the United airline counter to check in. It was impossible for me to check in prior to the airport because Air Canada and recognize my reservation or ticket number.
Cancelled flight 2 hours before and rebooked my on a flight 3 days later. Trash airline
when I arrived at the check in counter of Air Canada, they said they dont have the flight number on their system. Lots of typing and I was told its a code share with Delta and need to check in with them. Arrived at the Delta check in and the guy was.... slower than slow. Wiped his key board, loaded the printers, asked where I was going, where I was staying, how long for, do I have an ESTA, what do I have in my luggage. At the slowest pace possible, whilst cleaning his glasses. Finally he has no more questions and prints the boarding pass and here things get interesting. Oh he says, I am surprised they are letting you on the flight? How do you mean? Well its 55 minutes before take off and they usually shut the gate 60 minutes before take off. I checked afterwards, I was talking to him for 12 minutes. Its as if he was delaying my check in on purpose....
It was great. They always say active military, may board early. What happened to the career military that retired with decades of service. Besides that always great experience.
Seats and leg room were tight but then all airline flights are like that unless you pay extra juice. Flying is no longer to be enjoyed ... only endured. Sad.
I could not check in on my AC app. You have a glitch in the system for multi dual passports. When entering Canada from NY I have to use my CDN passport. When I go back home from TO to USA I I have to use my US passport. Your check in system for my return flight would not let me enter my US passport and was not flexible. Demanded a resident number or another alien number That could not change to my US passport number. This did not happen before. Annoying had to check in with an agent. Please fix
The Carry-on luggage that approved by TSA and all other airlines,- always an issue with Air Canada. This is inappropriate as my carry on suitcase meets the requirements however it always asked to check in on AC flight on the gate. Yes I have it for free, but it takes extra time to pick up on the carousel. Apparently it fit the overhead space, so why AC has this issue all the time?
Pretty good service and US Migratory officers providing services in Canada was awesome, because the arrival was quick and smooth
