Virgin Australia review by Stephen

Had asked for Wheelchair assistance in February when the flight was booked. Upon landing, we waited for everyone else to disembark as usual. I was asked to place the wheelchair person onto the wheelchair. Even if I wanted to help, there were too many VA staff in the way. Once the chair movement was completed, the swap at the door to another wheelchair was required. Because the flight was well over an hour late, pre-arranged transport could not be there so we had to make our own way home (i.e - by taxi). Once in the luggage claim area, our assistance disappeared after telling me that i could manage the wheelchair. I could manage the wheelchair, but what about the luggage we also had. Fortunately the airport staff assisted me after I had tried to manoeuvre both the trolley and the luggage cart. Very poor way to treat any customer.
