Home again and already homesick! However my homesickness began with my first step onto the virgin aircraft as we discovered that the 3 of us had been split up. Both Bec & i had window seats behind each other and Kate had an aisle seat 2 seats back. I spoke to the steward about it as we were boarding and she promised to look into it after everyone had sat down. It was obvious she had either forgotten or had no intentions of following it up when nothing more was done about it and then we were well and truly airborne. So as soon as the seat belt sign was off, i raced to the toilet (2 for the entire economy class!) via the kitchen where i was told that as i had been the 139 passenger to check in out of 200 it wasn't surprising! What absolute crap. He then finished with saying that i would have to organise a seat change myself if i wanted to sit next to Bec. At that point i was so furious and upset with their lack of care that i sooo wished i had the guts to stand at the front of the plane and take them up on their suggestion by using a loud teacher voice to ask if anyone would mind swapping seats with me so I can sit with my unwell daughter and also include an explanation of why i am doing it instead of one of the useless stewards. But instead i returned to my seat and fumed.
Then it was meal time. Seated towards the back of the flight we were all told that just about everything had sold out Cheese and cracker packets like kids take to school were 2 for $5!
But the worst thing about this flight was the total lack of entertainment available. No screens and no earphones. Absolutely nothing. How ridiculous for a daytime flight!
It was certainly cattle class for those of us in economy.
