I Flew VIRGIN AUSTRALIA from PERTH to SYDNEY in ECONOMY! What do you EXPECT from a LOW COST AIRLINE?

right before we start I just want to thank the sponsor of today's video who are surf shark and they have made this trip to down under possible more about that later now today I'm in Perth Western Australia lots of you have told me I need to go to the East and I need to go to Sydney so that is what we're going to do today we're going to travel on Virgin Australia I've never done that before so I'm quite interested to see what it's like mixed responses online so I'm going to give my own View on it you can have a look at it too I'll show you around see what there is on board also I'll uh get the takeoff and The Landing in flight and also shots at the airports as well if you're a bit of a plane buff then you'll be able to see a few planes out the window I've got a private car here behind me as well to take me to the airport blacked out windows and everything hey I'm I'm going up in the world anyway if you're new to the channel do me a favor hit the Subscribe button if you uh like the content also give it a thumbs up now without further Ado my friends let's go [Music] right so going to call off and get a coffee first um oh wow lovely Bridge we'll hopefully have a look at that in a minute so we're going to get Virgin Australia 556 VA 556 never taken Virgin Australia before did take Virgin America years ago I think they've actually gone now I'm pretty sure they have uh pop your comments in the comment section down below and I have flown on them many many years ago to be honest it would be unfair of me to say what it was like because it was that many years ago I can't exactly remember but back in the day Virgin Atlantic was fantastic it seems to have lost its Edge just lately so what is Virgin Australia going to be like well we're going to find [Music] out [Music] right so we' just stopped for 5 minutes absolutely gorgeous spot here you can take a look at the scenery Etc I'm going to grab a coffee because I can't start in the morning and get moving unless I've got a little caffeine inside me to give me a Kickstart so we're going to do that then we'll head to the airport got plenty of time yet uh we don't take off until 10 10 and it's only just well coming up to 7 a.m. so let's go and grab a coffeee and and then uh you can have a look at the [Music] scenery oh got my coffee right okay so before we go any further I'd just like to say a massive thank you to the sponsor of today's video who have made this trip to Australia possible and they are surf shark surf shark are a VPN company which stands for virtual private Network and helps keep all of your very important information safe an easy way to think about it is surf Shar puts a middleman between you and any hackers that are trying to steal your information which for me is vital especially now as I'm on the other side of the world using public Wi-Fi in airports hotels restaurants and coffee shops logging onto my bank accounts social media and my YouTube account to upload my videos now logging onto a public Wi-Fi leaves you wide open to hackers and any people who are on the same network and if they wanted to steal your information believe me they very easily could however with surf shark I am protected as it encrypts my data and adds an extra layer of protection to help keep my passwords and personal information safe oh and it also allows unlimited devices on one account which for me is ideal as I can use it on my mobile phone tablet and laptop but by far the coolest thing for me about surf shark is the fact that while I'm away from home overseas like I am now I can still access my favorite shows on streaming services such as Netflix and Amazon Prime which are normally blocked in other countries it does this by swapping the real location of your device with a new one AKA changing your IP address this way you can virtually travel to any country around the world this also comes in handy for me when I'm back home in the UK as there's a couple of shows I like to watch on Netflix that are only available in the USA so I open up surf Shar change my location to the USA and voila now the good news is you can get yourself an exclusive surf shark deal enter the promo code mcmas for an additional 3 months for free just click the link in the description below oh and surf shark offers a 30-day money back guarantee so there's no risk to try it out don't forget click the link in the description below right better get to the [Music] airport [Music] [Music] right okay so almost at the airport now um apparently Virgin Australia don't do free food on board uh you actually have to buy it so we'll have a look at it see what the prices are Etc and uh maybe try something out as well um I've done a little research as well I think Virgin America correct me if I'm wrong uh merged with Alaskan Airlines or something so they no longer exist so this is going to be interesting having traveled on Virgin Atlantic recently to see how Virgin Australia Compares as a domestic [Music] [Music] [Music] Airline [Music] right okay so I'm at the airport I want to thank Darren here from Prestige Cars who is an actual viewer of the channel and he got in touch with me and he said can I come and pick you up and take you to the airport and I said I'd love that yeah so it's been an absolute pleasure it's been our pleasure to do it so you do this for a living now don't you we do Le y yep we do this for a living now in and out of the airport um private TS a per so uh what a a great place what a great City to do this kind of work in as well and uh to meet someone like yourself it's been our absolute pleasure originally from England as well originally from Essex in the UK yeah living in Australia you look like the Men in Black as well Liv in the dream Liv in the dream it must be a bit warm in that suit it is a bit warm in the suit but that's what we do Lee it's what you do don't worry we'll we'll charge people for that don't worry well thank you for thank you for being my bodyguard it's been my pleasure sir I'm now going to get Virgin Australia and you told me it's about a 5H hour journey is it's a fairly decent Journey all the way over to Sydney it's like flying halfway across the world to be totally honest so you're going all the way across Australia uh it's a fair distance but um I'll be interested to see when you get back to see what you think compare it to Perth compare Sydney to Perth I'm looking forward to it it's going to be uh it's going to be interesting so again thank you very much you have a fantastic trip mate and keep in touch all the best good to meet you thank you you too my pleas thank you onward my [Music] friends oh well that was absolutely fantastic that made a change from uh from Uber and what a lovely guy I tell you what it's been fantastic meeting all the expats and all the people that watch the channel they've made my journey uh to Australia they really have so thanks to everybody that's appeared uh on the channel and also uh off the channel as well who I've met who didn't want to be on the videos but I have met up with them right onwards let's go and get this PL [Music] [Music] see right okay so my bag's a bit heavy so I'm just going to check it in um on board please place your heaviest bag on the belt and scan your boarding pass right sent my bag back because it needs to scan the QR code and it can't see it so I don't know what's going on here now I've got to scan my boarding pass again just bring back people here we go try it again come on now it's not scanning my boarding pass scan my boarding pass no I'm scanning my boarding pass not see in it what is going on here scan the boarding pass no yes I need more time oh come on andity the highest priority right eventually we got the bag through why don't just bring back people that took about 10 minutes of my time to try and get the bag through and then the lady had to help me anyway um technology eh right onwards right going through security so I see you on the other side blim me that was insanely quick I mean three four minutes uh no taking anything out the bags pretty much like Manchester Airport straight through well organized boom that's it that's how security should be if if all airports were like that and Manchester then it'd be a breeze right going look around the [Music] airport [Music] so that's Hungry Jacks now that is basically Burger King but over in um Australia it's called Hungry Jacks still do the same thing Whopper and Quarter Pounder ET Etc is it Quarter Pounder that they do there Whopper qu Panda's McDonald's isn't it but anyway it's Burger King but Hungry Jacks over here I wonder why they call it that I don't know whether it was because somebody had registered the name Burger King over here you have to let me know in the comments section down [Music] [Music] below [Music] a right let's get down to costing shall we so um I booked this flight internal flight domestic flight um from Perth over to Sydney um and it actually cost me £460 return that's great British £460 return not that cheap for a domestic flight however it is a 5our flight if you think about it so but there are I guess there are cheaper Airlines but that was the cheapest I could find uh at the time it was a little bit last minute I booked it 4 days before I was flying because really I wasn't going to go out to Sydney and then everyone kept saying you need to go to Sydney and I guess I do really while I'm uh down under I don't want to go back and then come all the way back although I guess I'm going to have to visit Melbourne as well Melbourne Melbourne Melbourne isn't it uh and a few other places but Sydney's going to have to be it for now we're going to spend uh almost two weeks in Sydney film lots of videos there uh so make sure you hit the Subscribe button because there's lots of exciting content and lots of exploring mooching around to do so we're going to see lots of stuff anyway I'm kind of looking forward to this like I say I did travel on Virgin America years ago but I can't I can't really remember what it was like it was that long ago because I was quite um I like I liked virgin I loved Virgin Atlantic um and I tried to support them but in recent years they they've gone downhill a little bit but we'll see we we'll give these a benefit of the day hopefully they'll be [Music] [Music] good [Music] down right so I'm just having a quick latte uh a quick ham and cheese um Quant uh very expensive actually on a bottle of water that you're actually uh resting up on there $35 jeez right anyway I'll leave me to these and I'll see you guys back out [Music] there [Music] you know I'm hoping this is going to be good because we know when Virgin Atlantic first came out years and years ago it was exciting it was new it was fresh and it was it air travel had gone downhill a bit really and all the excitement gone out of it and then Richard Branson came along with Virgin Atlantic and brought it back into it again and everyone was really excited traveling Virgin Atlantic so but since then Virgin Atlantic gone downhill a heck of a lot um so I'm hoping this is a domestic flight Virgin Australia fingers [Music] crossed [Music] a [Music] right we're on board got Karen and Gary next to me and Caren is originally she's been here years but originally from Olden yes Manchester like my mom anyway morning and a very welcome everyone there we go we're about to take off I think [Music] hello everyone once again my name is pansy and I'd like to introduce you to the team your captain today is Captain Adrien Dy assisting him in the flight deck today is first officer Adam Dixon we do have a wonderful team in the cabin today starting with Enzo at the front we have Lisa in the middle and Amelia towards the back we'll now take you through the safety demonstration so please pause your devices and give us your full attention for just a few minutes welcome aboard it's wonderful to have you with us at Virgin Australia your health and safety come first so we appreciate you giving us your attention as we take you through some important information about this flight your seat belt should now be done up low and tight across your hips to fasten push the ends together until they click then pull the strap to tighten to release just lift the Buckle when the seat belt sign is on your belt should stay on too and even if the sign is off we recommend keeping your seat belt fastened in case of turbulence if the cabin pressure changes and oxygen is needed your mask will drop from above you immediately pull the mask down to get the oxygen flowing remove any face covering then quickly place the oxygen mask over your nose and mouth and slip the strap over your head good morning ladies and gentlemen from the flch captain speaking just uh taking the opportunity to all be welcome you aboard for St 55 C Service to Sydney part time 3 hours59 today expecting uh both these smooth conditions and on Route and uh whatever our from the Sydney they're forecasting some storms so there's a possibility of some turbulence and uh maybe a little bit of holding on the way in just for now just want to invite you to sit back relax and enjoy the friendly vir Australia service thank you come e [Music] oh [Music] oh [Music] r so we are in the air doesn't look like there's going to be a lot to see uh from up here it looks very Baron already and we've only just taken off so I reckon going to hit the menu have a glass of wine so your Blanc Rod KN and uh maybe a little snack at as well so far the plane's very noisy I have to say I'm hoping he can hear me like up clipped it onto my lapel um anyway why snack or it's only 10:43 in the morning although you know they always say it's 5:00 [Music] somewhere [Music] right so uh I've got myself a glass of well a glass of wine I've got myself a paper cup of wine um which is in a glass bottle is that glass I think that that's plastic so we've got a plastic bottle but we're saving the environment with a paper cup um anyway uh They didn't accept Apple pay so I to get my card out which was a bit awkward trying to get my card out of my pocket I know cuz other airlines have actually used um Apple pay Etc there is one good thing though you can actually on board here if you want uh a free standard tea or coffee or water uh that's totally free you can just ask for that which is good because you don't get that on uh Airlines back in the UK such as Ryan a or jet 2 you have to P pay for your tea and coffee so that's a nice little touch um not a lot to see out of the window so far I'm just going to taste my um wine here which is a 2003 um go for this one it's um it's not bad it would be better out of a glass though wouldn't it but maybe only get that down the front there or up the front there anyway I'm going to enjoy that look at the uh sand and desert out the window for a bit out my Pringles and then we landed to Sydney in a bit um the pilot did say there are storms as we land said it may be a little bit of turbulence as well so um not not looking forward to the turbulence everything else so far though pretty good staff aboard very nice the planes are very um clean the only thing is there's not a lot of leg room for somebody like me who is 6' 4 and a half anyway I'll drink my wine and I'll catch it with you in a [Music] [Music] bit [Music] [Music] yeah [Music] oh so um got about another hour and 10 minutes left to go now had a little bit of a nap after that wine um you don't you can't believe actually how fast Australia is you don't think of it I never did you could literally put I don't know Europe or England in it so many times it's absolutely huge we're now traveling over over water so I'm trying to there's no map here there is an onboard system if you download the app before you leave you can connect to their Wi-Fi and then you get entertainment on there but I didn't do that while we were on the ground that would have been quite interesting I shall do that on my return fight which I will uh be recording and filming anyway so make sure you don't miss out on my journey back to Perth um in a couple of weeks time um but we flying over water but what I'll do is I'll try and find the uh route or rout that we went um and I'll place over here now so you can see actually the where we've actually been from to uh and the direction it went in ETC and uh whether we went over water guess it it's traveled further south to come back up again but I may be wrong but you can see on screen there anyway not gotten up I've not been to the loot I've not had anything else to eat or drink and my legs are getting a bit tired now but um baby crying as well so we're uh there's not a lot of leg room on here that's my only complaint so far anyway I'll catch you later [Music] on [Music] [Music] [Music] bring it for arrival temperature 20° and uh just some rain showers in the area and just a l from the south St up to up to the South as well so Mak it a littleit early this and uh for now just like thank you for your in right so um Captain just don't know if you caught that we now making our descent uh there are some storms it's going to be a little bit bumpy so we're got to keep our seat bels fastened so this one should be interesting and apparently we come in fairly quickly as well into Sydney so uh hopefully it won't won't affect my ears Etc um and then I believe we're going to get the train over to the hotel because there's a train from the airport told rather than getting an Uber that gets us uh into Sydney so I'll probably do that and then get to the hotel so stay with me and if you are enjoying the video by the way do hit the thumbs up and also if you're not subscribed think

a double deer double decker [Music] train [Music] right here we are Sydney and wow there's the bridge there's the feries got lots of joggers this seems a lot more vibrant than Perth very uh very much so a lot busier wow it is a lot busier wow this is uh a totally different vibe it's very very London New York you can feel everybody's rushing around a lot quicker uh it's a lot cooler but it's nice it's just it's perfect right we got about a 1.3 mile walk but I could get a bus I could get an Uber but I'm going to walk it's not too hot and what a great City wow this is huge it's a bit steep this hill though oh have to take my hat off it's it's getting a bit warm now um straight away I'd say Vibes of New York rather than uh London very very where I am at the moment it's always a loud car um yeah Vibes of New York i' say uper upper east side where I am at the moment maybe uper no upper west side but it's uh a little bit cooler but still out when you're walking around maybe I should have got a cab but just getting the I'm just getting my bearings you know getting my [Applause] bearings yeah it is New York basically you walk over the road and even though the green man's on the cars still turn I don't get that just follow suit with the UK if it's on a Green Man pedestrians right away cars wait same in the well same in the states I don't get it it's crazy right now I'm getting they don't give you long to cross the road uh St Mary's Cathedral getting a Vibe of London around this bit it's uh a bit quieter very very very Metropolitan this compared to Perth makes Perth look like a town but Perth is so relaxed it's great I guess to have both just wow look at that Skyline right I'm liking this we are going to do some exploring over the next few days over the next couple of weeks oh yes so make sure you hit that subscribe button this yeah it's there's a lot to explore and this is not taking it away from Perth cuz perth's beautiful but there's a lot going on here this is
