When my daughter's suitcase ended up in Cairns instead of Melbourne, they quickly identified the error and had the bag at our room by 9 AM the next morning. The check-in agents were very friendly and helpful. I also found that QF had a better baggage allowance than Virgin and we have been able to take earlier flights on QF when they had space available. Just be sure to be there or make your changes at least 24 hours ahead if you book the low cost non-refundable fares. I booked them all from home online and got the best web fare. That's what we are using later this week. As stated by another poster, the MEL - SYD flights are all day about every 30 minutes or so. JoyceĪre you flying Qantas to and from Australia? If so, they do have a program called the Aussie Air Pass that allows you to add domestic segments at a great value. Our ship departs at 8.30 pm.ĭo you think we have to take a flight on November 10th? Which company is the best to fly with, Virgin or Qantas? Thanks. Is this true? We want to fly from Melbourne to Sydney on November 11th in the morning. I told her that I would do it myself and then she warned me to take extra time because it can be possible that they (Virgin or Qantas) put you on another flight, even on another day. We have to pay the travelagent also a fee of euro 35 p.p. I asked my travelagent to book this flights, but the prices are much higher than when I do it myself on the internet. In November we will be in Australia and need two domestic flights, one before and one after our cruise to the Great Barrier Reef. The 11th November is Remembrance Day here so there may be a minute's silence at 11 am to signify the end of WW1, but it is not a public holiday and everything will be operating as usual. Sydney is a great city so if you are nervous, a day spent there is not wasted. Leave yourself enough time to get from the airport to the passenger terminal. The flights to Sydney are very regular so it is fine to fly on the day of the cruise. Virgin Blue is generally cheaper than Qantas - you do have to purchase any snacks on it but the quality of Qantas food is somewhat underwhelming on these short flights. If you do not check in at least 30 minutes before the scheduled departure time you will (definitely - no buts) lose your booking and this may mean purchasing another ticket as the cheap ones are non refundable, so I would not generally advise them. Both airlines are reliable - Jetstar mostly uses Avalon airport (55 km south west of Melbourne) but does have some flights (one a day) from Tullamarine International Terminal to Sydney. I would advise either Qantas or Virgin Blue.
