Find Cheap Flights from Sydney Kingsford Smith to Oakland (SYD - OAK)

Crew mostly left me alone to sleep. Boarding was smooth.

Seatbelt requirement on top of the blanket (not my experience with other airlines on long haul flights). The lights on the overnight flight were not dimmed sufficiently.

We liked all the services

When we got to Hawaii pick up our bag n drop it off was a headache

Boarding was easy. clean plane, crew was very friendly. I was very concerned though, when we banked left and did a complete circle in the air. An explanation from the captain would have been terrific. I made sure I was the last one to leave the plane and asked him about it when I saw him at the exit. He told me what happened but I would have liked to know while it was happening. Besides that, the coke and pretzels were divine. :)

coffee was horrible

We got checked in quickly unlike the first time we flew VirginAustralia when it took two hours to get through the checkin line and checked in. For that flight we would have missed the flight if it had been on time.

Seats were very cramped

An earlier flight was apparently got cancelled so my husband and I got split up, each landing a middle seat, not together. That was a bit disappointing.

Crew was very nice and friendly

The display was awful. It kept turning on randomly while I was trying to sleep. The touch screen was slow and inaccurate. The armrest should go back further (doesn't go back all the way if you recline the chair)

Lived the staff on the plane

Did not like that with threw flighis home they would Not check our bags through

TSA is rediculous and affects how people interact with your customer servce. Your customer service in Honolulu needs a lot of work. Pointing people to a single counter person to obtain a seat on a plane after the person has already been on a 9 hour Hawaiian flight is beyond disrespectful. It is cruel. It was close to a couple of months that I had purchased the ticket and I get on the Plane in Auckland only to find I would need to process through TSA yet another time in order to get to the counter and obtain my seat. 3 hours in a TSA line allowed 20 minutes to get to that counter. I also needed to find a private space to give myself my insulin. I do not do that in public bathrooms or even my own bathroom..... but it never happened because I stood in Customs line and then Imigration line and yet again the third TSA line. I think TSA held up over 200 of us because they went to lunch. He were stopped still with absolutely no progress for over an hour.

You and all the other airlines need to work together and improve TSA. The counter person at Hawaiian in Honolulu was unprofessional and capricious. She preferred to service a huge dog rather than myself, even though it was my turn . She also answered a male who cut in line rather than the person next in line. She did not know what was available and did not show any compassion for international travelers. We were treated as cattle.

The atmosphere friendly staff!

I liked how easy it was to get that extra leg room by requesting seating I the exit row.

Nice cabin crew

Disorganized boarding. Had to disembark due to light malfunction. 6 hours later we took off. I had paid extra to depart in that early flight, Virgin only gave us an $8 voucher- $8 doesn't go very far in an airport restaurant. Issue should have been fixed before passengers boarded. First time flying with them and am pretty disappointed. However, am happy they didn't crash us. I guess that's what really matters. Excellent cabin crew, they all went the extra mile during the entire debacle.

Got me where I needed to go

The layovers were terrible. Had a 12 hr layover in aukland. Won't use your site again. DISAPPOINTED

Good movie selections

Hard time getting comfortable to sleep

Efficient loading and unloading, very friendly team

They claim to be full service and dinner was a bag of stale pretzels

Crew nice and professional, flight good

Seats were hard for that long of a journey
