| Virgin
vs Qantas: Apples and Oranges? |
Virgin
Australia has gone to great lengths to
compete with Qantas since it was rebranded
from Virgin Blue. But according to one
member, there are two reasons that Virgin
and its Velocity Frequent Flyer program
cannot be compared to Qantas and its
frequent flyer program.
The first reason is Virgin's underwhelming
on-board catering. Virgin creates high
expectations by advertising free food and
drinks on all flights. But the airline
consistently under-delivers by providing
snacks such as a single biscuit or half-size
muesli bar during meal times. By comparison,
Qantas serves a full hot meal on many
flights.
