LOL... Well, this thread is going to go nowhere, although it might be along a scenic route. OP, I suggest that if you can, you should edit the title of this thread to reflect Virgin Australia. Otherwise you will only get curious peeks from those trying to figure out the new non-existent Velocity airline.
Alternately ask a mod to close this thread and then open a new one with the correct title.
Good luck.

Recent EY411 KUL AUH on Virgin Aus Metal...feedback
FA Daniel was superb. Lovely Steak washed with Aus Shiraz. Good sleep with curtains drawn in 5H/5K. Very private. Beware this is bassinet row, if babies are on flight. Toilet wash basin was huge compared to other Boeings and Airbuses. No head knocks when shaving. Red eye with one exception, single gent at bar loved his red.
Minute dent in what was otherwise a 5 star flight. Have a habit of reconnoitring a first time biggy layout ref exits etc. When settled, made way to back of aircraft pass four chatting redcoats. Returning, A side aisle was blocked by incoming paxs. So diverted back through middle pathway and redcoats. Got passed the bar to the front for further checks when this redcoat came shouting “Sir you are in economy, please follow me”. I turned followed her passed the bar and plonked into seat 5K . She doubled back and leaned over with a glaring “Show me your boarding pass” I looked straight up with a emphasised heavy “NO”. Never saw her again.
