  Polynesian Blue Star Ranking



Polynesian Blue- by David Zweck

3 August 2006

Sydney-Apia one class. Polynesian Blue has only been operational on this route for about 12 months. This is a very ordinary "no frills" airline experience that I will certainly not want to repeat any time soon. It is a one class airline using commuter 737's configured to provide a small amount of extra leg room for a 5 hour International Flight. The seats are the usual Virgin Blue (Australia) seats that are leather and just O.K. The service is ordinary, the Samoan attendants are friendly, but so very casual and everybody is called a "guest" or "boys and girls". Some might like this and some may not. I prefer to be called a passenger, and at the risk of sounding old fashioned, I don't want to have my face painted and I am not interested in the whole cabin celebrating my birthday. Everything has to be paid for including the portable DVD players that may or may not work at $A15 thankyou, The real crunch though is the food. One gets hungry on a five hour flight and my advice is to take your own. The food served on these Virgin Flights is very bad even by airline standards. With a choice of only 3 hot dishes at $A9 each, I chose the pasta with pesto and vegetables. It looked bad and tasted even worse and I would not have served it to my cat. Unfortunately it is the only direct flight from Sydney to Apia, but regardless of that, next time I will fly Air New Zealand via Auckland and enjoy the flight and the meals.
