Well I would'nt be so confident whether it will be here to stay. I don't hate it or love it I am totally neutral. However the leisure Holiday Market is the first to be hit if people start tightening their belts due to higher debt repayments. I see a future for Jetstar Domestic for sure but I'm still 50/50 whether Jet* international will remain in it's current form.
They are being mauled on the Japan route too at the moment.
I see a future for places like Phuket, Bali, Honolulu etc but I am not convinced it'd going to work on non resort places. I mean for example Japan "Oh cool I got a return fare for $700! Yay Now its just 3 or 4 k for my other 2 weeks there!" I mean if youve got that much money to spend a few hundred bucks is not really much difference to the overall experience IMO (Depending on the 20's year something accountants doing the books
) Theres a big difference being on a hour or 2 domestic run than a 20 hour ordeal to Europe for example.
Even though I am confident Jetstar domestic does have a place, but it better get prepared for an extreme bloody nose from Tiger!
Oh yeah dont bag me for saying its $700 bucks return to Japan I just chose it as an example I dont know what the real fare is but I guess cheap ones are around that
