I’ve flown on this exact route, Sydney to Los Angeles, I absolutely underestimated how good it was at the time and it was a very very impressive flight. My only regret of the flight, I had a whole row of seats to myself, and I didn’t take advantage and keep them all to myself. In regards to Virgin Australia and Covid-19, they’ve suspended all international flights, and Qantas has done the same, and cut 60% of domestic flights.

I know it’s been a year but I just thought I’d add that the full menu is included in the back of the aviation magazine in the seat pocket and while there isn’t a plug at your seat the cabin crew will happily charge anything you like. Based on doing the long haul to lax and back at least once a year for a decade.

I really hope for the best with Virgin Australia’s situation. Unfortunately, since SFO is my local airport for long haul flights, my only options are sadly limited to Qantas or United (both following the standard of cramped 3-3-3 economy Dreamliners) to Australia, unlike the huge plethora of different airlines and aircraft types that LAX gets to Australia. I’d like to connect in LAX to try it out someday (although my family probably wouldn’t approve of doing that over putting up with the 787 economy class). Of course, this is assuming Virgin Australia stays alive and can restart these flights after the Coronavirus pandemic eases up.

Did the same exact thing as you (Delta to Sydney and Virgin Australia back). Delta is just so good at keeping their product consistently somewhere between good and great, whether it's a short haul or long haul. One issue I had with the VA seats was, there was a gap between the seats and the wall. A few times while I was sleeping my head ended up in the gap. I don't know if that was the difference between a 200 and a 300, but it made things a little more uncomfortable for sleeping. I enjoyed my flight on Virgin Australia, but it felt like it was stuck about 10 years in the past with everything. The one thing I noticed they did considerably better than Delta - the blanket! It didn't feel like a thin blanket you would get at a Red Cross facility in an emergency. It was a real blanket. Small victories, I guess?

I flew this route Melbourne - Los Angeles at decade ago in Premium Economy. Was very impressed with the width and recline of the seat back then. Funny back then we did get full breakfasts as people flying in do not general stop for breakfast or are able to get into their hotel until afternoon so it's a crock of shite that an expectation is some small handout and only one full meal on a 13 + hour flight. Lastly not having a menu card is a very dangerous thing as many people have allergies; someone announcing something over a speaker does not cover that.
