It is so easy to get to Brisbane Airport from the city - Just catch a train!

Trains are a bit old in Brisbane.... xd

Conclusion
Again, it was nice that Virgin's inflight supervisor will introduce each of their crew members to their passengers prior to departure. Virgin Australia is cheaper than Qantas, but their service is nice. Anyway, I enjoyed the flight. Thank you for all the dedicated cabin crew!
