Find Cheap Flights to Brisbane

plane was new and clean short destination fly was good

The woman who checked us in helped us a ton by getting our seats switched to be near each other for both this flight and the following flight from nadi to LA. She was great. Most helpful person I came acrossl.

All good

Nothing

The flight was early into Brisbane! The attendants were friendly and helpful and the food was good.

The service

the food, poor selection of movies and tv shows

The crew was very friendly and very efficient. Took care to accomodate our 4 year old as much as they could by providing food at odd hours. Seats are fine and sleeping mattress adds some support on the long flight. There is not enough storage around the seats within reach for anything other than bottled water.

What is weird at LAX when one connects from the Delta flights to the VA international flight is having to take the bus (that only comes at specific time and was managed in our case by a rather unhappy delta terminal agent) and then wait in a long line to get your boarding pass re-issued by a slow VA agent (not sure why a delta issued boarding pass is not good enough....) If you do not allow a lot of time between flights, you are guaranteed to miss the flight to Australia.

The service in Lester b Pearson airport was unprofessional and sub standard by your employee Manija Anwarzada and her shift workers. They did not help me when I missed my flight to Pittsburgh because of our late arrival from Frankfurt. She and the others were not there to assist and help stranded passengers. In fact a couple of the staff were on cell phones and not helping passengers. She finally told us we had to go downstairs to the hall since her counter was closing. After traveling from Algiers to Frankfurt then on to Canada it was a terrible way to end the day. These emoyess made a very long day even longer. I will never fly Air Canada again. I will say once I got through customs there were more professional people who did at least get me a hotel room. Your employee has left a very bad taste in my mouth for Air Canada!

Not much

We paid cash for business class seats on this flight and they were terrible seats. They were NOT business class, they did not recline and there was no leg room. Nothing offered to drink upon boarding. All they did was take economy class seats, three wide, and put a thing on the middle seat to hold drinks. It was terrible and we will avoid Lufthansa in the future, and we travel a lot.

Great entertainment

Beautiful air plane Nice flight assistants

The security person was incorrect about my Lithium battery causing me 45 minutes at the security check. I was also disappointed that even a coke needed to be paid for extra.

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

Tempting fare for a long haul flight. Luckily they had new air craft 787 on this sector.

Bad food.

One leg of the flight was a dreamliner.

Food was the worst I have had in memory. Crew are also the worst I have experienced in memory.

Attentive crew, good washrooms, comfy but still an airplane.

Food wasn't great. Entertainment needs to be updated.

The food, the attendants, the entertainment, the seating. Overall great experience flying around the world!

Crew was friendly, about as expected for the cheap price

No vegetarian option, in flight headphones were useless, can't use phone AT ALL during flight, gate was changed without warning (no announcements over the PA or notices posted that it was changed)

I liked that the crew was attentive to our needs.

I wish we had more snacks offered

Cabin crew was efficient and friendly. In general, your baggage policy is horrible. Only airline I'm familiar with that only allows one checked bag?? I believe your aircraft baggage capacity is equal to any other aircraft of the same model so why the one bag limit. The landing in Nadi was horrible. The plane hit so hard on landing that it bounced up and hit hard again. Everyone was scared and holding tight to the seat in front of them. What was equally disturbing was that neither the pilot or co-pilot ever came on the speaker and said ANYTHING! No explanation, apology or anything-complete silence.

This was very unprofessional and makes me wonder what was going on in the cockpit? Seemed to take an in ordinarily long time to clear food trays after the meal. They were offering seconds on beverages before they had even cleared the trays.

Service

Long time to load luggage. 45 min late

Flown with Delta, AA, United and a lot of other carriers, but Etihad felt a little more special. Was a little skeptical never having flown them before but was pleasantly surprised. The service was just better, the seats were just better, the food was just better. Overall, everything was just a bit better than what I was accustomed to. I will be definitely recommending Etihad to F&F.

The food gets a little monotonous. We got served rice on 4/4 of our meals... lol. It;s better than not getting any food but it;s the only thing that was a little off.

Crew was nice

I

There were probably 4 current, full-length movies I could have watched. Lots of selection, content. Lovely engaging flight attendants.

Attendants were congenial, though not much visible between meals...

My window seat was further from window than normal so could not lean against it to sleep. My overhead light was not positioned properly, so did not help much. It was centered between me and person beside, so while she slept and I wanted to use, I couldn't. Also had to push against connection plugging earphones in to make work. It was a constant effort and made hand sore. And even at best the sound was poor.

The airline attendants were very friendly.

We had a free movie on a 3.5 hour flight but not on the 6 and 9 hour flights. It's time to step it up for long haul flights!

The boarding was fine and the flight did not feel unreasonably crowded as some international flights can feel.

The food was really quite bad. Also, the entertainment devices are out of date (double-pronged headphone jack, slow-functioning controls), but function decently enough.

Flight attendants great at improvising due to missing special meals.

After mechanical issue on Delta flight resulted in arriving after the LAX -> BNE deparature, Delta was unable to rebook me on an earlier flight since it "was with Virgin Australia" and after a 6-hour wait for gate agents to show up, Virgin Australia refused to rebook me on an earlier flight resulting in a 24-hour delay arriving at my destination when I needed to be at my destination at least 22-hours later than scheduled and options existing for 16 to 18 hours on Air New Zealand (which is also a code-share with Virgin Australia). Also, gate attendant at LAX told me that despite just transitioning through BNE, I would need to exit the international terminal and go to the domestic terminal to claim my boarding ticket. This was incorrect and would have resulted in long delays. Luckily, the gate attendant in the international terminal did have my boarding ticket. Until things change, I will not be doing any trans-pacific travel with either Virgin Australia or Delta. Other airlines (Air New Zealand, American, United, Southwest, and Frontier have all fixed issues to the best of their abilities) and will be higher on my list. Qantas is highest on my list since they have never screwed up and their seats are comfy for long-haul flights.

The food was great!

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

Everything was very good

Comfort and friendly crew.

Electronic entertainment can be better.

Great crew on the flight. As usual the QANTAS crew and plane were excellent.

Lots of different entertainment choices.

The headphones didn't work very well and the sound kept going off

It was crazy cold on the plane. I'm a frequent flyer and never in my life had I been this cold. I had a sweater, a scarf and a blanket, but couldn't relax to sleep as I was shivering the whole time. My friend traveling with me and the people in our row were feeling the same way. Plus they make you remove your blanket for take off and landing, which I've never had to do with other companies. It went from shivering to teeth chattering. I couldn't understand why they served us a hot meal when we got on the plane. Anyone boarding at 11:30 pm should have already eaten, at that point you just want to sleep, not wait another two hours for food to be served and the trays cleaned up.

Easy boarding.

The food. The crew can be a little friendlier. They don't seem too happy to work for the company.
