Flight and luggage was delayed. Though everything seems to be delayed at the moment. Travel isn’t as simple as it used to be.

The onboard WIFI was not working, other than that all good. The food is always poor on these sorts of flights so not their fault.

I travelled with my father who was in a wheelchair and the staff did everything possible to assist us. From check in to arriving on the tarmac at Maroochydore the staff were amazing and so helpful. I cant fault any of the service.

Cancelled my flight two hours before it was due to take off. I had a morning flight so when I landed I had time to drive to my accomodation 6 hours away. I got to my destination airport at 8pm after my replacement flight was delayed two hours. No support, no compensation, no apology, just a few generic emails, oh and when I tried to send a complaint on the Virgin website it kept giving me an error message. We were told the flight was cancelled due to not enough flight crews. How is it legal to sell tickets for flights you don't have staff too. The delay was weather. So angry!!

I checked in online and went straight to the gate. There I was told that I hadn't checked in. Problem was the aircraft had changed after I checked in and I no longer had a seat allocation and my boarding pass was useless. It was resolved after some difficulties.

Since being taken over from original ownership it is now the worst it’s been. Very poor and you can tell the staff aren’t happy either. Put some pride back into your business.

Wi-Fi didn’t work, staff didn’t know how to fix it. They expected us to use our own device but provide no charging points. Food was terrible and expensive. For the price of the ticket, Qantas is better value.

Disappointing that people not wearing masks where not asked the put them on properly. Snacks should be provided for such a long flight. Web browsing wifi would have been good. Plane wasn't as clean as I would have liked.

It is disappointing that there aren't snacks provided anymore. Also wifi is only for VA app, web browsing wifi is expected these days.
