The price reflects the offering. Remember there is QF and JQ to fly if you're not happy with VA.

a squirt of dip and a carrot stick? And a ‘slice’ for desert.

I see you're starting to be unhappy with VA. Maybe try flying QF group to reset the expectations?

VA has generally had an advance purchase requirement for their cheapest fares. If I was still flying VA weekly I’d be snapping up these $309 fares though… even lower than they were in least year’s sale IIRC.

PER is a tricky one… the meal is the same as MEL-SYD, but you’re paying $$$ more for the remaining hours of the flight… which could be spent without IFE or WIFI SCs yes, but seriously, what’s the point with VA?

I'm pretty sure QF offers a similar meal on their transcons no?

IKR! I stopped flying VA mid 2024 because of the level of service However I had some travel bank due to expire plus some FF points, so have a couple of VA flights coming up for Jan/Feb. I made the switch to Rex and Qantas (now just QF)

Similar in that it has a hot course (otherwise the QF version feels much more substantial).

To be honest that's the illusion that airlines portray.

Look the meal and service transcon on VA is ok.i think I managed my expectations quite well on the route. Like most things, it depends on the crew and cabin lead. They do tend to do a second run with snacks and chocolate on the flights that I have been on going to Perth. Drink service and on request for me has actually been quite good. However I have also had some positive experiences on QF most recently and even on the 737 service. I would really like VA to offer on these services blankets and pillows and my personal gripe, the divider. . QF do provide blankets and pillows certainly on the A330 flights that are slowly dwindling I feel. I will be mostly price driven for biz between Perth and Sydney and also most likely, to Melbourne also.

I flew SYD-ADL recently on QF and the hot J meal was some warmed sausage roll bites. Not indifferent to the “Patties” once’s I’d reheated in the oven the evening before after a few too many drinks with friends.

Both airlines offer a pretty ordinary business service. That’s consistent worldwide. Don’t like it? Fly economy.
