The revamped Airbuses still sport the silver body and orange under-belly of the domestic carriers, but the seats have been reupholstered with plush leather.
There are 38 StarClass seats where passengers will receive a full meal and entertainment service.
Passengers in the 265 economy seats can pay as they go if they want food or extra entertainment.

This is all a bit of smoke and mirrors isn't it?

A 'business-type product' at economy prices??

'passengers will receive a full meal and entertainment service'
Isn't that just today's economy service? (on every other half decent airline) So you get an economy service at economy prices?? Wow.

I really wonder whether there are so many of the great unwashed that are prepared to torture themselves for 8 hours on a pay-as-you-go basis for the sake of a few dollars. Methinks Jetjoke are trying to force customers down a very unappealing road of choice to a product of little value. Vote with your feet and bring on more services to Australia by Emirates and their ilk.
