Ever the concept of LLCs came on the scene, it has been a race to the bottom.
The ticket price should reflect what it actually cost/nm to offer that seat, plus the margin, for the particular aircraft, not an average over the fleet.
No one is treated like a customer these days, more like an inconvenience in getting VH-ZZZ from A to B.
Rather than have boarding passes available in what ever technology is fashionable on the particular day, why not have a barcode tattooed on our forehead. They could read our ID and flight details from the barcode.and take our temperature at the same time. An update could let the authorities know where we had been for the last 14 days
I had an experience BC19 where a group of us had booked Melbourne to Queenstown on VA tickets. It was codeshared on an Air NZ aircraft.
Departed about 10 am with about 2pm arrival in NZ,
As it was an International flight the VA site indicated that we would get lunch on board.
Yes there was lunch, but only for the ANZ passengers. "Why" we asked. "You did not request lunch. "
It used to be simple once. A flight over breakfast you received breakfast, Same for a flight over lunch and dinner periods.
Now booking a flight it is liking ordering a meal at the so called fast food outlets
"Would you like that to be a meal?" "Would you like fries with that?" "Would you like any drinks with that"
At least the airline booking system can speak English, not some warp-speed gibberage that we hear these days.
And how did SBS weave land rights into a series on flight?
