In this video, we'll compare Qantas Business Class and Virgin Australia Business Class across Australia between Perth and the East Coast. These are the two dominant players in this market and both offer similar lie flat seats with upgraded meal service and other amenities .
In this #TransconThrowdownUnder, we rate Qantas and Virgin Australia based on their business class seats, their business class entertainment, their business class food, and their business class service.
In order to pull this off, I carefully selected transcontinental flights in which Qantas and Virgin Australia both flew their A330 wide-body aircraft and offered premium business class service. Further, I ensured both flights were at about the same time of day, which allowed for similar meal comparisons.
I developed a rating system in which we rate Qantas and Virgin Australia on the quality of their seats, entertainment, food, and service. Watch to the end of the video to see the winner.
Oh! And I even tried vegemite for the first time...

Great video. Unfortunately, you fell for the rookie mistake with vegemite. A little goes a LONG WAY, you're not supposed to take a chunk of it by itself. It's a powerful spread so a little on toast or just bread is the way to go, it's too strong to just chug by itself.

A transcontinental route (especially in the US or Australia where that means a 4+ hour flight) should always be in a wide body jet with plenty of room and amenities. The 737 is more designed for shorter hops

Nice review. I much prefer the VA product. The business class seats which they also use on their international flights seat really have much more room and are certainly more private. I've always found food and service better on VA compared to QF. VA's noise cancelling headphones are indeed quite good. Check the origin of the word entrée when pertaining to food. It should be self evident. I was a QF gold frequent flyer for years before being stranded for a week in Singapore when management decided to punish staff by grounding the airline and its passengers. I quickly took up the VA status match and have easily maintained platinum status ever since. Its partner airlines such as Delta offer benefits such as lounge access which are more easily achieved than just by flying Delta.

Mixed things up last time I went stateside pre pandemic and went on QF to Dallas, which then allowed me onto many American Airlines codeshare flights. Now, let’s talk vegemite. I’m not the biggest fan. However, if you have a Weber and cook roast beef on it, use a clean drip tray to catch all the drippings, hot water and vegemite makes the best gravy!

As always, your reviews are excellent! That said... Regarding this review: Yes, VA would happily provide bedding on request for any transcon domestic flight. Beyond that, you've missed some critical factors: * VA provide kerbside lounge entry in Sydney and Brisbane (with a private security lane) for those with lounge access - Qantas do not. * The VA lounge entrance in Melbourne is landside, with the exit providing a private security lane to transition to airside - Qantas do not. * VA status is far more obtainable than QF status in Australia, as is gifting of Gold or Platinum status. * QF refuses to check through baggage on separate tickets (and their partners other than AS do the same), meanwhile VA happily does. Flying from MEL to SEA (with at least one mandatory stop) never requires me to collect and recheck outside of Customs requirements for a combination of VA and DL. * Perth has the most amazing Sushi offerings in the country * Kingsford Smith airport makes LAX look like paradise * VA has a total of 3 earning charts and 2 redemption charts - Qantas has a multitude in each category. Regarding the statement that Virgin Australia is not part of an alliance, given the relationship between VA and SQ (and loyalty point transfer between the two) as well as their relationship with DL and EY, the statement you've made regarding destinations available is something that deserves discussion given the currencies involved. All that said, please stay awesome!

To be most fair you'd have to take each product twice: Qantas from Sydney to Perth, VA from Perth to Sydney, VA from Sydney to Perth, and then Qantas from Perth to Sydney. But that would mean twice the cost. I look forward to finally being able to fly either airline to Australia one day.

As a frequent business class traveller I did a similar comparison in October (Brisbane -> Darwin with Virgin 737-800) (Darwin -> Brisbane with QANTAS 737-800). I have been flying with Qantas for 20+ years, and if you had done the same comparison 5 years ago Virgin would have come a distant second place. Recently though they have improved their product (especially service) to the point where I believe Qantas needs to up their service.

I have done the Virgin Sydney-Perth-Sydney and I pretty much agree with you the wine is great. the flight time is about one hour shorter flying east due to wind. I had been in a port side window and an starboard aisle and I think the aisle felt slightly larger. You are right if you are a couple book the two aisle seats on the same row. But if you have a small partner go economy as you can be closer and snuggle up.

Hi Jeb, another wonderful video and as I am from Australia it was an entertaining one to watch. I was just wondering if you have ever flown Air Canada's economy class product from Sydney (SYD) to Vancouver (YVR). One of my friends is travelling to Canada in January and asked me to check out this product, and I was hoping you could help with some info. Thanks for the great video, Caden

Jeb mate come on, even us Aussies don't eat vegemite straight off a fork....we have the same reaction you did haha It needs to be on toast with cheese or a sandwich. Oh we don't slather it on, it's just a light spread. You should have asked a local for assistance lol. Good video mate

OMG, when you put that much vegemite on your fork I was screaming "nooooooooooo, don't do it" 😂 🤣. You could have just dipped your fork in and that tiny bit would have been enough, it's not meant to be eaten in big chunks. I prefer Qantas myself. Nice video

Mr Brooks, I have watched you video, and as a born and bred Australian I took exception to some of your points. After wheels up, the Staff allow you time to settle in before service, unless you are on a SYD - CBR flight where there is just enough time to serve and retrieve before it is time to prepare for landing. So they were not slow in serving. In Aust we eat, not gorge like pigs at the trough. I have been to the States where you either starve yourself prior to going out or you get a 'doggie bag' to take away a portion of the served meal that would feed a starving family of four! So the amount of food served is correct and sufficient for most people, if you want more request back-ups (second helping). Learn Australian meal terms, Hors d'oeuvre, Entrée, Main Course, Dessert. Vegemite is eaten as a thin scrape on hot buttered toast, not by the spoon out of the jar, it is not jam, heathen!

That's so funny that you didn't like Vegemite. I bought that and Marmite at World Market here once and they were both yucky. I like curry so I would be more impressed with the food on Virgin as a matter of personal bias. Virgin Australia does appear to be a better choice with the more modern cabin too. Also, the haircut looks great.

You say Qantas has probably your favourite of all business class seats (something you also said on your Perth - London video).....then give Virgin the same score, although no blanket and a crappy pillow. I'm sure that makes sense to somebody, namely you, but I'm scratching my head at that one. p.s. I'm an Aussie who never eats Vegemite.
