VH-VOB Virgin Blue Take off OOL Gold Coast Airport Boeing 737-800 MELBOURNE

Seat 18A - flight 740 Gold Coast to Melbourne. Got charged $30 for being nearly 3 kg over, I had hardly anything but a coat in my carry on, plus my camera and I wasn't even asked did I want to transfer stuff. Anyway... won't be using Virgin again. BTW, Qantas have let me be over before when i was not carrying much.

AAPT have messed up my ADSL connection after I moved to Melbourne so this has been uploaded via my mobile phone. HD will be uploaded at a later date.

regardless weather or not you weigh 80kg you were still over the limit even if it was by 3kg. Thats not virgins fault its yours, if they did this to call guests then thats almost an extra 600kg.

@ThePullmymoon i'm talking about their attitude, it's their fault their attitude stinks. Hence I stick to Qantas.

I guess you didn't hear the "turn off all electronic equipment" from the cabin crew. That is unless your camera is a super 8.

@unapro3 you guessed correctly.

@unapro3 Do you think the pilots would allow so many people to film inside the cockpits if it was dangerous? The biggest danger is your laptop hitting in you in the face in case of turbulence on take-off/landing.
