lol thats shocking. I only remember hearing about the BA one. Must ave got the most publicity in UK. Cant belive a flight from one part of Australia to another can take 17 hours! i dont care how big the country is! Tis crazy!

Why do u think virgin blue is better than jetstar? Am thinking of booking a flight with one of them from Adelaide to Cairns.

Re: Qantas problems

I have been going SYD-PER with Virginblue

I flew SYD-PER and back on QANTAS's 747's four weeks ago. It was certainly rather old.

Tomorrow, I have decided to go with Virginblue's 737...not as much leg room as the 747 but I think more chance of it being on time etc.

Yes, definitely. I've often found Jetstar staff to be afflicted with the same grumpiness & rudeness as their QF colleagues.

I love the Live2Air IFE system on Virgin, generally keeps me occupied on any flight.
