Now You're Flying Virgin Australia

[Nigelinoz]

I'm just using my iPhone 4...

Although, if I get on this aircraft it will be a miracle. I've had a nearly two hour delay, and my current arrival time will get me to the gate 20mins before departure of DJ535...

I'm not so impressed with Virgin Today, particually since I'm at OOL and there's no Lounge...

What caused the delay,any explanation from Virgin?

 

[yohy?!]

YFC is passing Grafton on the way to OOL at present...should be with you soon

Also just handed a boarding pass. Moved from 5C to 1F
After a 2+ hour delay, recieving an OP-UP, and then an equip swap so both flights I'm on YFC has made my one happy little camper.

Looking forward to the photos & trip report!

Just wondering if I'm imagining it or not, but I'm sure I read somewhere that the new aircraft that have been fitted with J seating will be mainly on the SYD-PER route as well, once the A330's start?

Would make sense I guess to put all the J seating on one route at a time - easier to move people to different flights, or have some sort of backup if there are equipment changes etc.

So I'm now home, after a strange/confusing/stressful/long/fast/enjoyable day.

Will write up the Trip Report in the next few hours, stay tuned..

Forgive me, its long. I didn't just talk about my whole flight, but it seems, my entire thought process for that day. If you want to just see some of the pretty pictures I took, scroll down a fair bit.

Its my first official TR for AFF. So be nice...

If you don't take enough pictures, everybody on AFF will kill you.

I think anyone who has any doubts about the new livery should take a look at this picture of YFC on Airliners.net,in my opinion it looks awesome.

Can anyone post pictures of the airport/ check-in/ gate signage changes? Anything significant?

I saw this on Saturday, looks very nice in person. Shame I didn't get a photo of it...

The flying lady in Silver is useless.

Honestly, you are desecrating the Australian flag, and everything it stands for unless you put it in colour.

I won't go into details now, but feel this is a very negative move from VA.

I don’t see an issue with it, but think there should be a colour flag somewhere on the aircraft, perhaps at the back like Qantas.

Seriously?

I mean for a start it is not even an Australian flag, as that flag is blue, red and white not silver. It is also no more of a desecration than having a heap of numpties draping it around their shoulders and wandering the streets of the world.

 

[david-au-2000]

I disagree that the flag has been desecrated by not being in its true colours and I am very happy with how it looks but this is a matter of personal opinion based on how close one feels to the flag and what it stands for, so I respect where Mal is coming from.

 

[david-au-2000]

VA rep, what lounge is this, MEL or BNE? You don't have to tell us when it will be open although that would be very nice.

Really, surely we as a nation have matured and moved beyond all that juvenile nationalistic nonsense. Sure, have a flag, don't have a flag; it was/is only a marketing tool.
