    VA714 (Perth > Adelaide) VARA a320

    I was booked on VA722 on Saturday 23rd December PER-ADL - chose that flight as it was a B738. A couple of weeks ago flight got cancelled and I'm now on the morning A320 departure instead.

    Economy X [Domestic free for Platinum] - May 2017

    I was on VA713 ADL to PER this morning. Very light load about 50pax. Likely due to the Western Australia Day celebrations/public holiday. Great to see Economy X working well. I had a huge 16-seat shadow that stretched from 3A to 5F where a special assistance passenger was. There were...

    How long for re check in at SYD

    You can ask when you check-in at Perth to check your bag all the way through for Canberra. I have done this before on two seperate bookings some time ago. Don't have recent experience since Perth went nearly 100% self service. I'd recommend printing or writing down all your flight times to...
