Conclusion

This was my first flight with Virgin Australia. It was nice that Virgin's inflight supervisor will introduce each of their crew members to their passengers prior to departure. Virgin Australia is kind of cheaper than Qantas, in my opinion. However, their service is actually very nice. Anyway, I enjoyed the flight. Thank you for all the dedicated cabin crew!
