I would like to say I was actually pleased with the experience on Vigin Blue having been sceptical ahead of taking the plunge based on a recommendation.
Booking was easy. Done by their website. Easeir than most.
Flight on time.
Service was what they promised.`No surprises there.
Yes they were blonde and smiled... more than most on QF/AN. Were kinder on the eyes than most in QF/AN!
Price was better than ID50 on QF/AN.
Emergency situation - well if the boys up front have a problem the cabin crew actually are not going to make much difference. Cabin briefings are never/seldom watched and luck usually prevails IF - god forbid - there is a problem.
On balance I would do it again. rates way w-a-y ahead of Southwest, America West or the like, both of whom I flew in the last month.
ANZ would not have Sir Ric offered US$250m if it was a loda junk.......
Need a few more 'Robin Hood' airlines like Blue.
