Virgin Australia extends free Fly Ahead to economy fares
Jul 02, 2026, 06:19 PMYes, sad to say but I too have noticed a diminished service standard, coupled with increased 'attitude' from Lounge staff, particularly those at the door. This needs to be addressed before it becomes a major issue.

Virgin counting down to first 737-10 delivery
Jun 13, 2026, 05:24 PMNothing infuriates me more than when needing to change a flight and there aren't enough J-class seats, they definitely need 12, not 8. I don't need lay-flat going to/from Perth, but Darwin, Bali and beyond need the lay-flat for those sectors.

Virgin Community - Focus Group Invitation
Aug 26, 2024, 11:12 AMJust received my first invitation by Virgin to attend an in-person focus group meeting next month.
