Verified travelerFlew with Air New ZealandZQN-SYDJune 2025
Double check if you are on a connecting flight that your bag is going through. The duty free in sydney airport is great!
AndrewFlew with Virgin AustraliaMEL-CNSJune 2025
Save up and fly business. Sounds ridiculous,but if you are tall, it would be better.
Verified travelerFlew with Qantas AirwaysMEL-LSTApr 2025
Short easy flight on a smaller plane - make sure your carry on is within the limits!
ElioFlew with Qantas AirwaysPER-ADLMar 2025
Check-in you baggage rather than bring it as carry on ! The baggage check-in doesn't open until 3.45am.
KieronFlew with Virgin AustraliaBNE-ADLDec 2024
Checked Baggage line up was long, but this might have been a one off, get to the Airport early
MaryFlew with Qantas AirwaysPER-SYDOct 2024
If you are connecting in Sydney on another flight, give yourself a few days break. Sydney is lovely and it will keep you more comfortable on the next long flight.
LisaFlew with Virgin AustraliaPER-SYDSept 2024
The airport is super easy to navigate. Don’t waste money on Ubers or taxis - public transit is a breeze and cheap!
Verified travelerFlew with Virgin AustraliaSYD-CNSNov 2024
Bring a tablet, ear phones, charging cable and some snacks for when on the flight.
ErinFlew with JetstarMEL-BNENov 2024
Choose who is right for you cost & comfort all airlines have issues with delays at times so cant be helped some days I usually fly early and have rarely had issues
RubyFlew with Virgin AustraliaSYD-BNENov 2024
Brisbane airport is under renovation. The toilets just out of the gate only have 4 available. Walk for a few minutes and there's much better facilities near the food court.
Verified travelerFlew with Qantas AirwaysSYD-MELSept 2024
Make sure you have enough time to transit from your international flight of this is a connection.
PremFlew with Air New ZealandDBO-SYDSept 2024
Get there on time. There are no Uber or Taxi service available early morning
DavidFlew with JetstarOOL-MELNov 2024
Cheaper to buy food on board rather than inflated prices at Coolangatta airport.
AmeliaFlew with JetstarBNE-CBROct 2024
Make sure to read terms of ticket fare
MarkFlew with Qantas AirwaysMEL-SYDOct 2024
Allow for cancellations and delays in your scheduled.
BilalFlew with Virgin AustraliaBNE-TSVJuly 2024
Best to get the first flight in the day to avoid any delay
Verified travelerFlew with Virgin AustraliaBNE-DRWJuly 2024
Brisbane airport. You are asked to check in online and get your boarding pass that way. Then at the airport you have to get your own baggage labels from the machine, then you have to line up with everyone to bag drop. The line does move quite quickly so that is a bonus. The security line was also long but they had all belts open which meant it was not a long wait. Brisbane airport is fine.
Verified travelerFlew with Virgin AustraliaSYD-BNEJune 2024
Make sure you check the weight of the suitcases and the carryons get added together so you have to pay a lot of money.
KristyFlew with Qantas AirwaysSYD-AYQAug 2024
Only form of disembarkation in Yulara is via mobile stairs wheeled up to the aircraft, and proceeding across the tarmac.
BecFlew with RexPER-ADLJuly 2024
Terminal 2 doesn’t have food or drink outlets open so bring your own food if leaving from this terminal.
MarcoFlew with Qantas AirwaysCBR-MELAug 2024
Read the flight ticket info beforehand, I don't fly very often and I lost my flight to Canberra, so I needed to rebook for the following day, only because car parking is a horror, and you need to follow mile-long queues before you get to your departing gate. I arrived at the airport two hours in advance, and I still lost my flight. the following day I arrived with four hours, plenty of time to spare.
ОлегFlew with JetstarAVV-SYDApr 2024
Come early and you might catch an earlier flight
SimonFlew with Qantas AirwaysMEL-SYDMay 2024
Avoid the sunny side of the aircraft as the morning/evening glare can be harsh. Take your own iPad with movies. Have a charge cable handy to recharge your devices.
KristyFlew with Qantas AirwaysSYD-BNEMay 2024
Board early; don’t rely on announcements that never come; ensure personal items are ina bag that can fit under your seat!
Verified travelerFlew with Virgin AustraliaMEL-BNEDec 2023
If you’re changing to the international terminal make sure you eat at the entry or the domestic terminal. The international terminal is due for an upgrade and has limited options.
KateFlew with JetstarAKL-SYDJan 2024
Don't fly Jetstar, choose a cheaper flight with another carrier. Take your own food/drink and download your own entertainment on a fully charged device (or have a power pack). Don't expect to arrive on time at your destination
SandeepFlew with JetstarADL-SYDFeb 2024
Watch out for that last 7:40pm flight. If it’s delays 50 mins like ours was, there’s a chance the flight will be cancelled as Sydney domestic closes at 11 pm.

Fantastic staff and plane Only issue was flying out from terminal 2 at Perth nothing was open to get food or drink, we were there 3 hours early with 2 kids and not prepared to not be able to purchase food or drinks. Having self check in and bag drop would be wonderful too, as we had to wait for staff to arrive to check in despite checking in online the day before . Nothing major but would have made a great trip fantastic!

Enjoyed the comfort of the seats, slight delay to departure time but prompt takeoff and landing.

It asks about entertainment tho it’s not applicable. 10/10 for Rex 👌🏻

Not sure how to answer on the entertainment as there wasn’t any.. Comfort, I wasn’t comfortable as I was on the window side and a morbidly obese man sat in the middle and eased out into my space. I had sciatica so I wasn’t able to move much to get comfortable. Food wise I have a wheat allergy and asked if there was a gluten free option and was given a Byron bay cookie which was lovely tho it wasn’t wheat free. Not to worry. I wasn’t expecting there to be any appropriate snacks for me anyhow. The staff were very generous with the snacks and their concern for the passengers. The staff were amazing tho. Truly amazing ! One of the staff must have noticed my discomfort and helped me out to stand in the back of the plane to stretch which I really appreciated. I would fly with REX again without hesitation. Thank you very much. It was my first flight with you and I look forward to my return flight home on Tuesday. Best wishes to your company 👌🏻

All good, was a one hour flight so no food or entertainment which was expected

Rex is an underrated airline. Its my first time flying them and they were fantastic. the only things that annoyed me about my flight were things other passengers did so it was nothing i or REX could change

Really enjoyed flying with Rex the boarding and booking baggage on was easier than most. I will beat using Rex next time.

On time and a quick flight and staff vert good

.very good and as I needed wheelchair assistance all staff excellent.. only suggestion is get rid of those plastic chairs hard to ride in and staff have trouble compared to others. Everything else very good experience. Will use Fiji Air again.

In-flight entertainment options could use a refresh, Consider a tie-up with Spotify for more current music and with IMDB or other service for newer selections/movie ratings.

See previous comments. Didn’t take this flight because my other flight was so delayed. Ending up on two other flights as a result and was more than a day late.

6 hour delay and they didnt try to make up any time during an over 10 hour flight

Very good; seat made ready for bed after meal, a plus since one airline covered the seat at the start.

Entertainment was not good. Seems like liquor should’ve been advertised only beer and wine was even though I saw others getting liquor didn’t realize I could. And the food to me could’ve been a little bit.

Food choices perhaps not the best. Only offered beer and wine, when it appeared other liquor was available. Entertainment wasn’t so good.

They charged me over a $1000 dollars to bring two surfboard bags as check baggage. Inappropriate and I would avoid flying sgain

The experience on Fiji Airways was absolutely amazing. Streamlined. All staff was amazing. Pleasant. Friendly. Extremely helpful.

Business class Seats on the A350 from Nan to YVR were wonderful. The flight crew was okay but could do with better training. Toilets were clean but ran out of paper towels towards the end of the flight. The food/menu and the wine offered really needs considerable improvement. Dinner options were either Bolani, a beef sandwich (even this could be made much better), or paneer butter masala. Unfortunately, if you are not a fan of Fijian food, there isn’t much choice. Dessert was either turmeric ice cream or fruits but unfortunately, they were out of fruit! So the only option was turmeric ice cream. I’m not certain how many passengers like turmeric but I am not one of them. They need to cater to a more diverse group of people. Perhaps they need a new chef? The movies& tv shows were mostly older so I didn’t find that interesting either. It was however, fun to view the plane’s exterior cameras as we take off and land. The best thing about this flight are the business class seats.

Was bumped to a later flight because of inefficiency on part of the airline.

The Emerits/Qantas flight was cancelled to Wellington. We need a refund. Had to buy another airline ticket. How do we get the refund. Still not in Wellington.

Delayed QF59 flight once again, Qantas doesn't fail in maintaining there delayed departures and arrivals. USB points do not work nor do the power point sockets on the plane, Qantas staff admitted that on the flight. Don't expect to your charge devices. Saving grace, was the ice cream. Bottom line, if you expect to fly to HND and make it on time avoid Qantas and if you're interested in ice cream - visit 7/11.

Pretty excellent. I don’t know what the pilot could have done better with the bumping ( there was a storm) nor what happened to my ears coming down into bendigo. It doesn’t happen coming down into Sydney just the return flight. I wonder why?

Loved the staff. The economy seats could have been bigger.

Airport and crew experience was excellent. We had to queue for the runway - no one’s fault, but it did mean we were 30 minutes late leaving

Overall good experience with flight and airport wheelchair staff. Also got Indian food in the flights

I liked the service, the menu, and the comfort of the seats! Even tho we were seated by the bathrooms, the reclining seats and movie selection was very good, my husband and I didn’t mind at all

Very good as always, stand out airline. The passengers whom choose to stuff baggage that otherwise should be checked-in is a real bother but that's not the airlines doing. A real frustration that passengers just don't want to check-in luggage. This is a pet hate unfortunately.

It’s a two prop flight so I had problems with my ears on re- entering ! But otherwise fine

4.5 hr international flight. We got a glass of water. Ranks up there with Ryan Air, Easy Jet, Spirit and Frontier. Expected better.

Gluten free options less explicit on business class, but great service

Very good… seems the virgin staff particularly in the lounge and in flight exceeded expectations.

I liked everything about the experience but would have liked some free snacks!

Crew was great but flight was delayed almost three hours due to a technical issue and we had to go back to the terminal and wait for another one.

Being told why we delayed three hours and not even given an apology by someone. Not a word. Not my airline of choice ever.

Checked Baggage line up was long but moved quickly, rest of the process, boarding, crew was excellent

Virgin has always provided a smooth and comfortable flight. This one was no different. Seats are comfortable. Staff are great. This is my favourite airline.

Virgin changed the flight to an Alliance flight. Smaller plane, tea coffee and water the only refreshments available and not sure what happened to the extra money I paid to sit in a selected seat with extra leg room. This is obviously a regular switch as it happened on our flight there and back. Do not recommend.

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.

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.

Jetsatar refused to take my foldable stroller in the plane, despite following all the rules on dimensions and packaging. Similar thing happened on our previous fight. However, at that instance, they offered to check in the stroller. At this fight, the staff was rude, trying to rush us to board the flight. They made excuses that the stroller was not allowed and even offer to leave it behind and ship it back at our own cost. Fortunately, we had someone else attending. Since the flight was about to take off, they left it behind and send it back to us on the next available flight.

Overall, it was good. The only concern was that I couldn't charge my phone because the USB port didn't work after we took off. One of the crew members tried to restart it but never came back to me with an update.

Comfortable seats, boarding was easy and staff were very nice.

Flight was fine but a domestic flight was called by Jetstar international. This meant going through immigration and custom scanning twice. Long queues were experienced which were frustrating. We were using a wheelchair and exit at Perth needed a scissor lift as no air bridge provided. No fast lane at Perth for wheelchair. The staff were helpful but this system is poor.

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.

Not very good, no food and not drink ( caffe or tea). Never ever fly with jet star.

Fabulous I have no issues with JetStar great service always use them to fly

Flight was as expected - we got what we paid for which was a base fare
