I think the current Virgin Australia pricing structure offers good value, but I would like to see an upgrade to their buy-on-board menu. Hope you enjoyed your second visit to Cairns Jayden.
Great video as always Jayden, I'm one of your newest subscribers! Quite a quick turnaround time from when you flew until this video coming out, only about one week, but a high quality professional result! Can't wait for your international trips! 😊👍
Haha thanks Matthew! I’m so used to editing a domestic trip report now😝😝 Will be flying international soon so editing will be challenging and fun haha!
yes jayden another good video. i once flew through a storm like that flying from london to thailand ,and again from bangkok to ubon ratchatani . both times amazing but a little bumpy, and like steph said earlier i have never used a coat hook either, keep up the good work , safe travels ,and hope uni goes ok for you too
hi there, you don't need the app anymore :) Just connect to the Wifi onboard and scan the QR code on the menu, it'll re-direct you to the entertainment page. Have a good flight!
what a great flight. i was surprised how you left in daylight but landed at night in Cairns, but forgot about the refueling times at each stop over. To answer your question, i think id personally like to have the food and drinks included in the airfare, that way you dont have to worry about anything, and it makes the flight just that bit more enjoyable. well thats my opinion. I loved that hotel you stayed at... wow 10/10 for looks and those palms and ferns make it look so tropical, especially that swimming pool. your so lucky to have such good trips.
Yeah haha flying takes time! Usually when flying domestic the time you spend getting to/from the airports outweigh the time you spend in the air! Thanks Den :)
Can't say I see the climb thrust being a higher N1 than Takeoff thrust (6:00) very often. I almost always hear a reduction in thurst, however it was the opposite this time and spooled up more 😂
Actually this is quite common, it usually happens when taking off on short runways, or when an intersection takeoff is performed (not full length), as there is less distance in these situations, a slower takeoff speed is necessary, hence the reduced initial thrust. If not for these reasons, this can also occur because of a speed restriction on the initial climb out, whether as part of the standard departure procedure, or as advised by ATC for maintaining minimum separation with the aircraft ahead or because of the weather conditions. :)
Hey Jayden Nice work if you can get it. 😂 ACHOOO! Burp. Enjoyed this report and vlog very much. Lazy coat huke in the lav and beefy hukes in the hotel room. Wish I looked this good after waking in the morning. 😊
Great video, Jayden! That lightning storm viewed from the air was phenomenal! I hope the flight wasn’t too bumpy around the storms. Overall, I prefer the all included pricing model. That way I know what I’m paying up front. I hope you had a great time in Cairns! Safe travels!
Hi Jayden!! That katsu salad looked great! I'm looking forward to trying the Melbourne lounge again! Also I'm ashamed to say this but I have actually never used a coat hook 😳 thanks for another great review 🤗💝
I just saw the pictures, it's legit adelaide 2.0😂 but the food though, yummy yum!! Nothing to be ashamed of Steph, you're supposed to look at it and admire it 😍
Was an awesome coincidence I was on the same flight. In terms of the new pricing structure, I do prefer it. It’s great when buying a ticket when my wife flies with me as it’s much cheaper. Virgin is now incorporated a price structure for all budgets. They will need to be competitive with Bonza, when it starts up. The only issue is that the cheaper fares don’t give you many status points, so this is something to watch out for if one is looking to keep up your frequent flyer status. Very cheap upgrades at the moment for Business which is great!
Hehe love how you and my friend were both in J🤣 I totally get what you mean about flying with your wife! If I fly with a friend without status, he/she could just purchase the light fare and I could just check their bags with me (if I purchase choice or above) because I’ll have the extra allowance. Thanks Kevin😊😊
11:15 音響效果 🤣 This flight plenty of surprises, if jayden is pilot do you afraid flying over lightening. Don’t be shy too show your swimsuit at the final 10 seconds
Glad to hear that Virgin Australia will start their international routes again to New Zealand, Fiji, and even Denpasar (Bali). But actually, Denpasar had opened their border since October 14th, but there's no tourist coming there so....I'm not sure if it'll be more busy than usual during pandemic. I shocked when your housemate just sneeze😂, paying that extra $40 Economy X, I do think it's worth it if the service is much better though (?).
Hi Jayden, travel is beginning to be more normal in the US and we are able to travel to many more destinations outside the US. I can’t wait till you’re able to go outside of Australia! Thanks for all the vlogging to keep us entertained❤️👍✈️ BURP!!!
I’m good thanks! Do the usual touristy thing I guess- Blue Mountains, Luna Park, get a coffee or chai latte and walk over the bridge and around the harbour. Visit the beaches if weather is nice :)
Nice review Jayden. Your shots of the lightening in the clouds was spectacular 👌. It seems that the majority of flyers prefer having to pay for on board meals and beverages if that results in lower ticket prices. I do miss the full cabin service of yesteryear but realize that is just not what the flying public prefers these days. Actually, as long as you have lounge access it really doesn't matter if you aren't getting a complimentary meal on board, does it? Thanks for showing your hotel in Cairns. It looked quite upscale and comfortable. Can't wait to see your upcoming trip to Fiji. Take care and have a pleasant and rewarding weekend. Later, gator. 🐊
Yeah Virgin tickets are now a lot cheaper than pre-pandemic days. that’s why I can afford flying every fortnight or so haha! And yes i’m not very fussed about the buy-on-board since I get lounge access👍🏼 thanks John!
I thought Economy X had meals included Jayden? As for choice, I prefer the cheaper fare with the opportunity to purchase only the extras I want. Pre COVID I liked Air Asia X with prepaid luggage and meals. To me that was as good as full service economy.
nope economy x is really just about the seat and reserved space in the overhead lockers when you're on the plane, not any other perks. Thanks for watching and sharing your opinion :)
Hi Jayden. Nuthin' like a "fatter coat hook" 😂 I have to ask....where did the KFC handwipe come from ? I thought Virgin must have been selling some fried chicken !... LoL 😂 Queensland has had some wild weather lately.
Hahaha I got it from my bag😂😂 but would be nice if they sell KFC onboard. Japan Airlines sometimes collab with fast food chains and serve fast food in economy 🤣🤣
Nice to hear VA are looking into having toasties on their buy onboard menu. I also hope they install charging points on future aircraft, it’s the one thing that bugs me about VA. 11:15 did he take a covid test? Lol #economyxsquad
we had amazing lightning like that on a flight from Singapore Changi to Kathmandu intl, 2 weeks later we googled the storm, it ended up killing 22 local indian people north west of culcutta
Jayden you are at your most entertaining when vlogging in the hotels. When you burped I proper laughed 🤣. Oh and by the way as I’ve said before you are NOT fat - you look quite trim in fact 😀
Jayden that is not weather ! Fly through a typhoon now that is crazy ! Economy x is like comfort class ? Jayden ! How dare you ! Napoleon brandy is served neat ! Young man we need to chat Cairns ! I loved cairns when I was there
VA’s pre Covid catering was really light on and I doubt it makes much difference to the no regular flyer, personally I couldn’t care less with what they offered.
ehhhhhhh~pokkkkk (airport) trip reeep~pokkkkk (trip report) fohhhhh~tossss (photos) how ironic ur pronunciation is way too much exaggerated try to speak mandarin or any chinese language in ur next video thats ur mother tounge it will sound better suits ur tiny eyes
Uh I speak English at home you lil angel, oh sorry Lusifahhh. I do eat some mandarins. Don’t know where you’re from but you probably have a weird accent if you think mine’s exaggerated
Epic storm! Nice capture!
thanks Paul😝
that sneeze came directly out of hell :D
it sure did 😂
You’re a very efficient editor! 👍 0:47 I’m glad I didn’t get in your shot. 😜 Was lovely to meet you. 🤝
hahaha you almost did😂 are you still holidaying?
@@JaydenWong Yep - today I flew from Rockhampton to Townsville via Mackay. Was really scenic! 😍
I love the pumpkin soup at the Virgin lounge! Yummo...
absolutely, i look forward to the new menu, karage chicken, dumplings etc.😍
Nice flight, loved the light show outside. thanks for the ride along.
thanks for watching this!
Thanks for the trip report & vlog 👍
11:14 that scared me, it was so unexpected 😭😂
hahaha I'm sorry😂
Jeez love those fat coat hooks🤣 great video Jayden! Also that weather sure is cool
thanks Nony😂 hope you’re doing well mate
I think the current Virgin Australia pricing structure offers good value, but I would like to see an upgrade to their buy-on-board menu. Hope you enjoyed your second visit to Cairns Jayden.
Just heard they’ll introduce toasties in the buy-on-board menu! I’m tempted to try one haha! Thanks Pierre ☺️
Great video as always Jayden, I'm one of your newest subscribers! Quite a quick turnaround time from when you flew until this video coming out, only about one week, but a high quality professional result! Can't wait for your international trips! 😊👍

thanks so much Barry :) I've seen people using it for their masks😂 Enjoy your weekend!
I wish you had shown the vickers vimy.
They must have had a lot of courage and a sense of adventure to do that trip.
Great report though.
haha next time! I was surprised to see how big the plane is!
Didn’t know anyone the app thanks, very useful as I’m flying to Sydney tomorrow from Brisbane
hi there, you don't need the app anymore :)
Just connect to the Wifi onboard and scan the QR code on the menu, it'll re-direct you to the entertainment page. Have a good flight!
Wow what a nice way to finish the week
enjoy your weekend mate!!!

So cool you got to fly with David who served you! I laughed so hard when your room mate sneezed 😂😂 absolutely loved the storm show 😍
Haha I’m guessing the crew are BNE based then! Thanks for watching Kaito😁
I have to get to ADE and use the lounge!! Katsu chicken looked great!! QF to ADE and VA back to HBA 😘
haha yes that’s the way to do it!
Hi , I love your videos. I actually just got of a Singapore airlines A350 Singapore to Adelaide
oh amazing! How was the flight?

Thank you very much Jayden👍🏻👍🏻💕❤️

11:14 I love that sneeze.
Hey Jayden
Nice work if you can get it. 😂
ACHOOO! Burp.
Enjoyed this report and vlog very much.
Lazy coat huke in the lav and beefy hukes in the hotel room.
Wish I looked this good after waking in the morning. 😊
Held that burp for hours, needed to release it🤣🤣 thanks Stevo!
Great video, Jayden! That lightning storm viewed from the air was phenomenal! I hope the flight wasn’t too bumpy around the storms. Overall, I prefer the all included pricing model. That way I know what I’m paying up front. I hope you had a great time in Cairns! Safe travels!
Luckily we were flying wayyy higher than the storms :) and don’t think we detoured much as we landed earlier than scheduled! thanks Mike :))
Watching this waiting for my bus outside in the weather
