Best part of VA Mel lounge is view of the tarmac. Coffee is always good from the coffee bar have not tried it from the machine. Sad thing for me is how sadly the the last 4 yrs has impacted VA in so many ways. Food not as amazing as it once was. Am blessed they are still flying and as always staff are amazing. They’re return from bankruptcy was a huge relief. Thanks for your great videos! X
With the demise of REX, I believe Virgin is now the best in our market. Sadly, a duopoly is not healthy for the competition. Just finger-crossed Virgin can join Star Alliance now. I agree, the view of Melbourne's lounge is another level. Happy flying as always!! 🛫
These seats are domestic business class seats so they do not go full flat bed mode. But the recline is quite generous (double of economy) plus leg rest 😊 thanks for watching as well 😎
New to your channel, impressed! Love you casual but detailed review. I wish I had a dollar for every flight I've taken on this route, I'd be rich! Keep up the great vlogging! PS! Interesting watching the guy behind your right shoulder, I don't think he understood what you were doing, haha!!
Hi James, thank you for your kind words, it means a lot! Wow I cannot say I can relate but to fly that much for work, it'd be definitely less enjoyable, hopefully you have some sort of status with good perks that make the trips more bearable! p/s: I hope he didn't mind too much :D
mate at this stage i am just starting to watch your videos just to see which watch you are wearing! oh and yes... love VA! glad my company chose them as the flying partner!
😂😂😂 thank you mate!! VA surprised me with their Biz offering. A bit sad their intl offerings are weak (no lounge, small network) but hopefully that changes soon. Anyways, thanks for stopping by again 😀😀😀
@@ritul89 that's an interesting space to watch. Qatar'll soon invest in VA and hopefully that means widebodies come back to VA. I know wishful thinking 🤞
I like the original business class... It has the cabin divider which feels nice and seperate and the seats are bigger
The cabin divider was great on the old seat. But the new seats are modern and crisp. 😊✈️
Nice review Dave. Only just discovered your channel but keep up the great work!
@@AussieJetSetter Thank you very much for your kind words! 😍

this one is MUCH better than the prison the Sydney lounge is.
Thanks for watching my video😄
Does the seat recline fully, or you just had leg rests?

@@davedotravel yeah you are right. I suppose I was OK with VA and also say a lot of VA folks in Doha when I was flying with Qatar!

Good job ❤
Thank you!
i like your suitcase Dave- Have a good life
Thank you very much @Patriciapham9325 😍😍
I have travelled on 5 Qantas flights this year and NONE of them had free Wifi ! Qantas wifi is non existent!
Free wifi on domestic flights and international flights where the plane is flying over Australia. Global wifi is rolling out next year.
Love Virgin so much
It is growing on me too. Would definitely pick it for domestic flights
You’re no Jayden Wong. Don’t steal his catchphrase and format, find your own.
