Flew business class (won’t let me select that above) from Brisbane to Sydney on the 10.03.24. Having only been on a plane once before as a child I’ve not got much to compare it to. However, I’d like to point out the absolute abysmal check in services at Brisbane airport. The self check in kept erroring and there was no Rex check in attendant, only one from Virgin who shoed us onto the serviced check in area at the back. Shoved around the back past all the other airlines, the time it took to get through 5 people was crazy. They kept trying to tell everyone that we needed to go manually check in our bags, which wasn’t working! We were informed when we got there that we had $15 vouchers each to use at a number of the cafes upstairs as we had booked business class, and had no lounge to use in Brisbane. Awesome, a freebie I wasn’t expecting, but also didn’t get to use because check in took so long (40 minutes!). Upon entering the plane I noticed I had tonnes of leg room in the very front business class seat (enough I could fully extend my legs and just be touching the wall with my shoe). The customer service was amazing, staff friendly, and we did leave on time. We actually arrived 10 minutes earlier than expected. Score. 2 planes in my life, both earlier arrival than expected. The assortments of food was many, especially for a 1.5 hour flight. Snacks, meals, drinks. Crazy! I will note that the cleanliness was…lacking. There was crumbs in the storage area beside the seats, the electric foot rest kind of worked in my seat, didn’t work on my husbands, and stopped working in the extended position for the people across from us. The grime built up beside the seat and the wall, as well as the windows was very gross. I’m not sure if this is normal or not, but it was very gross to me. The charging ports in our seats didn’t work, or in any of the business class seats for the matter. For me, the flight wasn’t so bad, but I’d probably not use them again. I’m incredibly anxious at the thought of flying and booked the business class seats so I’d be less stressed, and have a smooth check in/boarding process, but the entire before boarding check in and cleanliness, or lack of in the plane, made me feel a bit off put. Should I ever fly again, I might try one of the other two domestic flights in business class and report back here any differences.…
