So let me get this right. According to the article:
1) Jetstar costs will rise because they are planning on using the
same res system used by Virgin;
Why? This system is used by many other low cost carriers because
it is a lot cheaper
2) Jetstar will potentially lose customers to Virgin Blue because they won't be able to seamlessly transfer from QF flights to Jetstar flights (and vice versa), with their luggage having to be rechecked instead of being checked through to the final destination
Why? because customers will choose to fly with Virgin Blue instead, whereby they will have to follow the exact same process anyway...
Interesting logic
- perhaps Travel Agents are running just a little scared at the moment if this is the best they can cme up with...
