AN flyer , despite this one would reasonably expect their luggage to be transferred when connecting from one to the other.
I have flown Pacific Blue from overseas connection with V.B in Brisbane and , not only were the bags transferred we were through seated via a designated desk at BNE international. Pac Blue and V.b are considered as different entities owned by the one parent company, just as Q.F and the star are.
I don't care what is written in the fine print, it remains another example of why Virgin is crapping all over the star in terms of attitude and customer service - and developing a pretty loyal customer base.
That is why they will continue to get my business.
