## What is Virgin Australia entertainment?

Time will fly by, you just watch. There's something for everyone, free on your next flight.

How Does it work?
- Use your own device, because we know that's the screen you like and by not fitting an in-seat screen this reduces fuel = less emissions.
- Be sure you have the most current operating system (e.g. iOS 13 or later). Unfortunately older devices may not handle the features in this app - we're really sorry about that.
- Once onboard, firstly set your device to flight mode and then connect to the Virgin Australia WiFi network .  When connected to the onboard WiFi network, launch the app and then start exploring the hundreds of hours of entertainment.  
- With 350+ hrs, including recent release movies,  over 400 TV episodes, as well concerts and interviews with music industry legends we are sure you will find something to entertain.   

Top Tips: Please do check for updates before you fly, make sure your device is fully charged and consider bringing a battery pack for longer flights and don’t forget your earphones!

### 1/5 — Add more movies

*2025-07-15, version 6.13.0*

U should add more movies. I want to watch some Star Wars movies on a flight but can’t cuz it it ain’t there. Virgin Australia can’t even put a 4 kg bag onto a plane. When I went to Darwin, my luggage was still in Perth

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work at all

*2025-05-25, version 6.13.0*

This app is a waste of time and will leave you with no entertainment on your flight, as it did for me today.

### 1/5 — Would not work

*2025-04-23, version 6.13.0*

I have used it in the past with no problems but today it wouldn’t work. The wifi was connected but telling me there was no internet. I tried but gave up and went back to my audio book. 
It was a shame because I look forward to finding a movie I haven’t heard about and really enjoying the movie.

### 1/5 — Disappointing never works

*2025-03-23, version 6.13.0*

The Virgin app consistently fails to connect, even after meticulously following all the troubleshooting steps. The final straw was enduring a five-hour flight to Perth with nothing to do but stare at the seat in front. This level of service is simply unacceptable. If Virgin doesn’t address these connectivity issues, they risk losing more customers to Qantas and other competitors. Get it sorted.

### 2/5 — Frustrating

*2025-02-12, version 6.13.0*

Hard to load, inconsistent operation.  Just frustrating to use.

### 1/5 — Does not work on iPhone

*2024-12-02, version 6.13.0*

Software behind the app doesn’t work. After multiple virgin flights I’ve not been able to get the app connected to in flight entertainment once. I go through these steps: 1. Connect to the in flight wifi 2. The in flight virgin wifi has no internet available 3. Open the app 4. App loads and crashes or loads and says that the app cannot connect to the internet Wondering if this is going to be fixed, or if virgin will stop falsely advertising an in-flight entertainment system on their flights. The app clearly isn’t optimised to work with the current iOS version available.

Qantas flights seem to have a working in flight entertainment system - I think I’ll be flying with them from now on.

### 1/5 — Didn’t work

*2024-11-22, version 6.13.0*

Download this before my flight and it just wouldn’t connect to the plane’s wifi. And yes I did exactly as it kept on asking for. The young man next to me had the exact same problem. Not worth the time to download. Just as well dl a couple of movies and watch them instead.

### 1/5 — Connection on flight

*2024-11-08, version 6.13.0*

I could not get a connection - sometimes it would show up and I could scroll through menu but nothing would play - I checked for updates and tried so many times - nothing - was very disappointed

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-08-17, version 6.13.0*

As mentioned by many, this is a completely useless app. Remains stuck on a blank screen with a loading icon. Unusable.

### 1/5 — Is this app still used on flights?

*2024-04-30, version 6.13.0*

Do Virgin Australia still use this app on flights or is the inflight entertainment now exclusively browser based?

If not, the app should be removed from the App Store!
