Virgin Australia B737 Max 8

[PERLHR]

I flew on my second Virgin Max 8 the other day. Route was SYD to PER having flown in from.HND on ANA earlier. Secured in 1F and 1D what a wonderful on board experience we had under the cabin leadership of Caroline. A credit to the airline as was indeed all.of the staff operating this 5 hours and ten minute flight. Always immediately felt looked after (unlike ANA but that is a different story). The Max was full. I had time to look around and really how that business experience would stand out with dividers in place and not the relative flow of pax to the front toilet on this long sector . As the Cabin Manager pointed out when we were discussing things Max and more, what can they do...they have a full load of pax on a flight nearly as long as a long haul from Europe! The Q for the toilet at the rear was long occasionally.

Overall though great flight, great crew and I liked the seat
